Sample result (fictional project)

Input: “tinyq. cli to query json files with sql. python. pip install tinyq. run tinyq file.json "select name from data where age>30". supports csv too. MIT”

Verdict. The notes say what the tool does, but a visitor can't tell who it's for, what the output looks like, or how to get started in under a minute. There's no example output, no prerequisite (the Python version isn't stated) and no contributing note.

# tinyq
Query JSON and CSV files from the command line using plain SQL.

## Quick start
pip install tinyq
tinyq file.json "select name from data where age>30"
Requires Python [version, e.g. 3.9+].

Fixes before you publish: 1. State the minimum Python version. 2. Paste a real example output so readers see the result before installing. …

Questions

Good to know

Who writes the result?

It's written by AI (Claude) from what you paste, following a strict brief. Check every command and claim before you commit it.

What should I paste?

Your current README, or rough notes: what the project does, how to install it, a usage example and the license. The more you give, the fewer placeholders you'll see.

Is this affiliated with GitHub?

No. It works for any README in Markdown, wherever your code lives.

What if it doesn't work for me?

If it doesn't work as described or you can't access it, email us within 14 days and we'll fix it or refund you. See the refund policy for details.
