Outline README sections for a migration CLI and explain persuasion
Tests information architecture and developer persuasion. Strong answers sequence: hook, one-line install, runnable quickstart, comparison table, then config. Front-loads time-to-value and tackles migration pain.
Tests technical content as a conversion funnel. A strong answer sequences: a one-sentence hook; a copy-paste install command; a runnable 30-second quickstart; a comparison table against Flyway or Liquibase; then configuration and contribution guides. This structure minimizes time-to-value, proves utility before explaining internals, and builds trust through transparent comparison. Red flag: leading with architecture diagrams, burying install steps, or treating the README as an internal wiki instead of a product landing page.
