About this skill
What it does
The License Picker skill automates the creation of standard open-source license files for your repositories. It handles the boilerplate of injecting the correct copyright holder and year into industry-standard templates, ensuring your projects are properly licensed without manual copy-pasting.
Why use this skill
While you could copy a license from the web, this skill ensures accuracy and consistency. It uses a structured workflow that prevents accidental overwrites of existing files and follows strict guardrails to maintain repository integrity. It is faster than manual editing and reduces the risk of formatting errors in legal headers.
Key Features
- Supports major open-source license IDs (e.g., MIT, Apache 2.0).
- Dynamic injection of copyright holder name and current/specified year.
- Safety first: Requires explicit flags to overwrite existing LICENSE files.
- Local execution: Uses pre-shipped templates instead of unreliable network fetches.
The Output
The skill generates a standard LICENSE file in your project root containing the full legal text of your chosen license, properly formatted with your specific attribution details.
