Free README Quality Grader
Paste your existing README and get an instant quality score (0–100), a letter grade, and specific, actionable suggestions to improve it. No signup required.
A great README is the difference between a project people adopt and one they scroll past. This free grader scores your README on clarity, completeness, installation instructions, usage examples, and maintenance signals — the same dimensions that determine whether a developer trusts your project in the first thirty seconds. Once you have a strong README, keep it that way: see our guide on how to write a good GitHub README, or generate one from scratch with the README generator.
