New PowerShell module repositories now start with a README that includes a concise capability showcase before the generated documentation link. This keeps README pages useful as a start page while leaving command reference details in PowerShell help and generated docs.

⚠️ This PR has no linked issue. Consider creating one for traceability.

Changed: README pages introduce capability without becoming a manual

The template README now includes a ## Capabilities section after installation. New modules can use this section for concise examples that explain the module's value and first mental model.

Changed: Detailed documentation remains generated

The README still points users to the psmodule.io/<ModuleName> URL pattern and PowerShell help for command-level details.

Technical Details

  • Updates README.md only.
  • Keeps {{ NAME }} and {{ DESCRIPTION }} as intentional template tokens.
  • Aligns with the repository defaults documented in PSModule/docs.
