# /readme-restructure — README Information Architecture
Restructure a README so the value prop and audience signal land before any internals. This skill **does not rewrite content** — it re-orders sections and pushes dense detail behind `<details>` or into separate docs.
## Arguments
`$ARGUMENTS`
- **`<path-to-README.md>`** — the file to restructure. Defaults to `README.md` in the current working directory.
- **`--dry-run`** *(default)* — produce a structure diff and a written restructure plan; do not write.
- **`--apply`** — after approval, rewrite the file in place. The original is preserved as `README.md.bak`.
- **`--target`** *(default: `both`)* — optimize for `human`, `llm`, or `both`. Affects ordering heuristics: humans skim, LLMs read top-down.
## What this solves
A README's job is to land three signals in the first 200 tokens:
1. **What is this?** (category noun + defining trait)
2. **Who is it for?** (audience)
3. **How do I try it in 30 seconds?** (quick-start or one-line install)
The user's `mache/README.md` is the motivating example. Its first 1000 chars are good — until paragraph 4:

Fourteen work standalone; three (`semantic_search`, `get_type_info`, `get_diagnostics`) require ley-line-open enrichment. `find_smells` covers nine structural code-smell rules (`dead_code`, `cyclomatic_complexity`, `
