Where should I put community files like CODEOWNERS or CONTRIBUTING.md?

This skill follows GitHub best practices by relocating community health and governance files to the .github/ directory to keep the repository root uncluttered.

How does the skill move config files without breaking tools?

The skill provides 'Glue Code,' which includes specific package.json script overrides or IDE settings that point your linting and build tools to their new locations in the .config/ folder.

What is the Minimal Root philosophy?

It is a design principle that keeps the root directory clean by only allowing essential architectural pillars like src/ and docs/, while moving implementation details and config files into subdirectories.

What makes a README 'World-Class' according to this skill?

A world-class README acts as a conversion funnel using transparent hero logos, automated badges, adaptive dark-mode images, and Mermaid.js diagrams to explain value in under 30 seconds.

Developer Tools

Enforces architectural maturity by streamlining repository structures and generating high-conversion documentation.

The GitHub Repository Architect skill transforms cluttered codebases into professional, world-class projects by implementing the 'Minimal Root' philosophy. It systematically eliminates root entropy by relocating configuration files to a dedicated .config/ directory, organizing community governance files, and building high-conversion READMEs that move users from discovery to installation in seconds. By treating the repository root as a pristine architectural lobby, this skill ensures projects signal maturity and maintainability to contributors and users alike.
