Use before adding or upgrading any dependency, before downloading any asset, and before a release.</h2>\n<p>The always-on prohibitions live in the selected <code>licensing</code> stance. Resolve its shared source\nwith <code>harness stances --json</code>; runtime projections carry the same policy. This is the procedure.</p>\n<h2>Before adopting or upgrading</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Read the authoritative license</strong>, not the marketplace blurb or the README badge. Check\nthe exact version you are taking.</li>\n<li><strong>Inspect the actual package</strong>, including transitive dependencies and any separately\nlicensed textures, data, fonts or bundled code inside it.</li>\n<li><strong>For dual licensing</strong>, record which qualifying option you are taking. Where terms are\ncombined rather than alternative, all of them must comply.</li>\n<li><strong>Check authorship and provenance.</strong> An uploader's claim does not establish ownership.\nReject game rips, unlicensed copies, and anything with missing, conflicting or suspect\nrights.</li>\n<li><strong>Recheck on upgrade.</strong> Terms change between versions. Pin a floor you have actually run\nagainst.</li>\n<li><strong>No new third-party dependency without a reason the reviewer will accept.</strong> In a shared\nrepo that means an issue or a note in the PR; in a solo repo it means one sentence in the\ncommit.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>If nothing compliant fits, adapt a compliant base or create original work. Do not weaken the\npolicy to use a download. Catalog availability is not asset clearance.</p>\n<h2>Record it</h2>\n<p>Every incorporated component goes in the project's third-party manifest with:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Source URL</li>\n<li>Creator or rightsholder</li>\n<li>Exact version, or asset hash</li>\n<li>License identifier, and the preserved license text</li>\n<li>Modifications made</li>\n<li>Required attribution</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Notices that actually ship</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep <code>THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES</code> and any credits screen current.</li>\n<li>Preserve copyright, license and disclaimer text. Include required NOTICE content and license\nlinks. Identify modifications where the license requires it.</li>\n<li><strong>A repo-only notice is insufficient if recipients do not receive it.</strong> Verify the notices\nare in the actual distribution before release.</li>\n<li>Maintain this automatically. Do not hand routine compliance work to the user.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>CC BY specifically</h2>\n<p>Preserve the recipient's licensed rights. Review EULA and DRM packaging, and do not apply\nadditional restrictions to that content. If the intended distribution cannot comply within\nthis policy, choose another asset. Never claim that one credit line alone satisfies every\nlicense.</p>\n<h2>At release</h2>\n<p>Verify every shipped third-party component has a recorded qualifying license and that notices\nare present in the built artifact. Report unresolved items plainly. Do not delete existing\nwork to clear a finding, and do not claim an audit happened when it did not.</p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":2916,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
