beautify-github-readme is an agent skill for tools like Codex and Claude Code that rewrites and redesigns a GitHub repository README so first time visitors understand the project quickly. Instead of applying one fixed template to every project, it reads the actual repository first, figures out what its clearest value and proof points are, and then decides how the page should be organized and look, so a command line tool, an icon library, and a research repository each end up with a different visual language suited to what they actually do. The skill works in two modes. Whole README mode reorders the content, removes repeated jargon, moves proof earlier in the page, and rebuilds the visual system including a hero image, section dividers, and diagrams, while leaving the actual pushing or publishing to a separate approval step. Asset only mode leaves the existing README text untouched and instead produces one or more visual pieces, such as a hero graphic, section headers, a workflow diagram, or an optional short animated version, without changing any wording or links. To keep the page usable rather than just decorative, it separates visuals from content: images in SVG format handle heroes, diagrams, and section transitions and stay editable, an optional GIF can show approved motion with the SVG kept as a static fallback, and plain Markdown still carries the explanations, install commands, and links so they remain searchable and copyable. Six existing public repositories are listed as real examples that already use this approach with their own distinct styles. It is installed either through the skills command line tool with a single command, or by asking a compatible agent to install it directly from its GitHub URL. Once installed, a user can ask it to redesign a whole README, generate specific visual assets only, or run a read only audit that reports on clarity and structure without editing any files. It always shows a local preview first and never commits, pushes, or publishes anything without the user's explicit approval.
