What Magento 2 README Generator does

  • Pre-built field set covering module name, author, description, installation, configuration, usage, and compatibility
  • GitHub-Flavored Markdown output — renders cleanly on GitHub, Packagist, and your module's repo
  • Sensible defaults for Magento 2 install steps (composer require, setup:upgrade, cache flush)
  • Badges for Magento version support, composer package name, and license
  • Live preview pane — every field update re-renders the markdown instantly
  • Drafts saved to your account — edit, duplicate, or export again later

How it works

Module name, author URL, one-line description, and any extra sections your extension needs.

2

Preview live

The markdown re-renders as you type. Tweak the wording until it reads the way you want.

Export + commit

Copy the markdown to your clipboard, paste into README.md at your module root, commit.

Frequently asked about Magento 2 README Generator

Which markdown flavor does it use? +

GitHub Flavored Markdown — tables, fenced code blocks, task lists. Renders identically on GitHub, Packagist, and most markdown viewers.

Can I save multiple drafts per module? +

Yes. Each README is stored per-account. Edit or duplicate anytime from the tool page.

Does it follow Adobe's Marketplace README guidance? +

Yes — the default template covers the sections Adobe reviewers look for (title, overview, features, installation, compatibility, support).

Can I customize the template? +

The default template is tuned for Magento extensions. Custom template editing is a Pro-tier feature coming later.

What about Mermaid diagrams for architecture sections? +

Mermaid renders on GitHub but not Packagist. If your README will live on both, use static diagrams (SVG or PNG) instead.
