What people ask about a README
The same handful of questions come up every sprint.
How do I run it locally?
The commands live in the file. Now people can ask for them.
Which environment variables do I need?
Get the names and defaults in one answer.
Where does it deploy?
Get the deploy target in one sentence.
Who is on call?
Ask for the owner of a service or a rotation.
How do I see staging logs?
Ask in your own words even when the heading says Observability.
What is missing?
When a question has a thin answer, add a sentence to the README and import it again.
How to turn a README into a chat
Import it, test it, and share it.
1. Import the current .md
Upload the file or import the raw GitHub link that ends in .md.
2. Ask last week's questions
Try the questions from Slack, email, or your latest new hire.
3. Fill the gaps
Add a sentence to the README where an answer was thin, then import it again.
4. Share the chat
Send the public link, or embed the chat on your docs site.
Why it works for engineering teams
The repo stays the source of truth and the chat makes it easy to use.
Your repo stays the source
Edit the README in git and import the new version when it changes.
Faster onboarding
New teammates ask a question on day one and get an answer from the file.
More than one README
Add each service's README to one project and ask across all of them.
