Getting Started

This is an example of how you may give instructions on setting up your project locally. To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.7+

Installation

1. Install the package using pip:

   pip install ai-readme-tools
   

Configuration

ai-readme requires API keys for both the Language Model (for generating text) and the Text-to-Image model (for generating logos). You can configure these in one of two ways. Environment variables take precedence.

1. Environment Variables (Recommended for CI/CD)

Set the following environment variables in your shell:

export LLM_API_KEY="your_llm_api_key"       # Required
export T2I_API_KEY="your_t2i_api_key"       # Required

# Optional: Specify custom API endpoints and models
export LLM_BASE_URL="https://api.example.com/v1"
export T2I_BASE_URL="https://api.example.com/v1"
export LLM_MODEL_NAME="your-llm-model"
export T2I_MODEL_NAME="your-t2i-model"

2. Global Config File (Recommended for Local Use)

For convenience, you can create a global configuration file. The tool will automatically look for it.

1. Create the directory: mkdir -p ~/.aireadme
2. Create the config file: ~/.aireadme/config.json
3. Add your credentials and any optional settings. You can also include personal information, which will be used as defaults during interactive prompts:

{
  "LLM_API_KEY": "your_llm_api_key",
  "T2I_API_KEY": "your_t2i_api_key",
  "LLM_BASE_URL": "https://api.example.com/v1",
  "T2I_BASE_URL": "https://api.example.com/v1",
  "LLM_MODEL_NAME": "gpt-4",
    "T2I_MODEL_NAME": "dall-e-3",
    "github_username": "your_github_username",
    "twitter_handle": "your_twitter_handle",
    "linkedin_username": "your_linkedin_username",
    "email": "your_email@example.com"
}

Usage

Once installed, you can use the aireadme package in the command line. To generate your README, run the following:

aireadme

Or you can run the python script directly:

python src/aireadme/cli.py --project-path /path/to/your/project --output-dir /path/to/output

This will:

1. generate a project_structure.txt file, which contains the project structure.
2. generate a script_description.json file, which contains the description of the scripts in the project.
3. generate a requirements.txt file, which contains the requirements of the project.
4. generate a logo.png file, which contains the logo of the project.
5. generate a README.md file, which contains the README of the project.
