licence-notice-auditor

Use when asked to check a project's licences, audit dependencies before open-sourcing or selling, write a NOTICE file, find licence conflicts, or check whether bundled fonts, images or datasets can be shipped. Produces an inventory of code, data and media dependencies with their licences, flags for conflicts and unclear ownership, and a draft NOTICE.md, with a clear statement that the output is not legal advice.

# Licence and Notice Auditor

Before a project is open-sourced, sold or bundled into something else, someone has to know what is inside it and on what terms. The risks are rarely in the main dependencies: they hide in a copied snippet, a bundled font, a dataset scraped years ago, or a screenshot in the docs. This skill inventories everything the project ships, flags conflicts and unclear ownership, and drafts the NOTICE file.

**This output is not legal advice.** It is a structured inventory to take to a qualified lawyer when the stakes are real: a sale, a funding round, a commercial licence, or any conflict flagged red below.

## Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:
- **The project's own licence**, or the licence being considered
- **How it is distributed**: source only, binaries, a hosted service, an app store, embedded in hardware
- **Dependency manifests**: package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml, or the output of a licence tool
- **Bundled non-code assets**: fonts, icons, images, audio, video, datasets, model weights
- **Copied code**: snippets from blogs, Stack Overflow, other repos, or AI tools
