# X_PACKAGE_README_SHAPE

## Means

a publishable package's README lacks, in its first 30 lines, the heading, one sentence, an install line, an example or a link to its `homepage` wiki page — or a `README_SHAPE_PINS` row exempts nothing

## Typical cause

the README opens on an internal table, or `package.json`'s `homepage` is not a page under the wiki; npm shows this screen first

## Fix

edit that package's `README.md` head (or pin it with a reason in `README_SHAPE_PINS` in `scripts/package-front.ts`), then `bun run scripts/package-front.ts --json`
