+## 🟡 [skill-readmes] — write English README.md for every skill + translate root README
+**Status:** paused
+**Where I stopped:** finished `skills/project-bootstrap/README.md` and root README EN translation (root `README.md` now EN, original kept as `README.ru.md` with cross-links between the two; broken `.wiki/source/repo-layout.md` link in the Russian fixed to `.wiki/concepts/repo-layout.md`)
+**Next action:** decide order for the remaining 15 skills (suggest: `setup-wiki`, `setup-tasks`, `using-wiki`, `using-tasks` next since `project-bootstrap` already cross-references them), then write each `skills/<name>/README.md` from its `SKILL.md`
+**Branch:** master

 ## ⚪ [compress-dedup] — resolve compress vs caveman-compress duplication
 **Status:** ready
 **Where I stopped:** (not started) — noticed during initial migration that both skills ship identical `scripts/` subtrees (`compress.py`, `cli.py`, `detect.py`, `validate.py`, `benchmark.py`)

+# skill-readmes
+
+## Goal
+Write English `README.md` for every skill source under `skills/`, plus translate the repo-root `README.md` to English (preserving the Russian original as `README.ru.md`). READMEs document each skill for outside readers — what it does, when it triggers, prerequisites, install. Done iteratively, one skill at a time.
+
+## Key files
+- `skills/<name>/README.md` — per-skill README (created here)
+- `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` — source of truth for skill behavior; README is derived from it
+- `README.md` (root) — top-level repo README, translated to English
+- `README.ru.md` (root) — original Russian preserved
+
+## Decisions log
+- 2026-04-28: Project-wide language for new READMEs is English. Russian root README preserved as `README.ru.md` for the bilingual record.
+- 2026-04-28: Skip emoji-heavy / marketing layout (caveman-compress style). Default to plain technical README with: title, one-line, sections for behavior / triggers / prerequisites / install. Skill-by-skill, no batch rewrite.
+- 2026-04-28: Started with `project-bootstrap` per user request.
+
+## Open questions
+- [ ] Order for the remaining skills — alphabetical, or by importance (using-wiki, using-tasks, setup-wiki, setup-tasks first since they are referenced by project-bootstrap)?
+
+## Completed steps
+- [x] `project-bootstrap` README — `skills/project-bootstrap/README.md`
+- [x] Root README EN translation — `README.md` (EN) + `README.ru.md` (original RU, fixed broken `.wiki/source/...` link)
+
+## Notes
+- Skills with README already: `caveman-compress` (different style — keep as-is, do not normalize for now).
+- Cross-platform install reference: repo root README (PS + bash both, per active-platform docs rule).
