Update the README Features section in Claude Code

Use confirmed user-facing changes to revise Features while preserving the README's section order.

Install in Claude Code

A Claude Code project with its root README and verified evidence of user-facing changes.

Review `.claude/skills/update-readme/SKILL.md` and its requirements at the pinned GitHub commit.
Create `.claude/skills/update-readme/` in your project and save the reviewed file as `.claude/skills/update-readme/SKILL.md`.
Start Claude Code from that project's root, then select `/update-readme` in the slash menu.

Example task

A fictional events page added two user-facing features. The sample says `changes=[weekday-filter, print-list]`. The existing calendar remains, and reminder automation is still planned. Update Features only.

What to check

Keep the section order and add `[weekday-filter, print-list]` under Features. Explain narrowing the list by weekday and printing a copy to take away. Leave reminders in the roadmap.
