Example session with this skill installed
Find three free, open-source video editing libraries for a commercial React project. I need to be able to modify the source code.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the resource finder
I have searched the GitHub and npm registries for video editing libraries. I verified each candidate against your requirement for commercial use and the ability to modify the source code.
Vetted Video Editing Libraries
| Name + Link | License | Free Status | Legal-use Verdict | Caveats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FFmpeg.wasm | LGPL-2.1 | FOSS | Usable for commercial modification | Must link dynamically to follow LGPL requirements; includes large binaries. |
| Remotion | Multi-licensed | Free Tier | Restricted | Free for individuals and small teams; requires a paid license for companies with >3 employees. |
| VideoContext | Apache-2.0 | FOSS | Usable for commercial modification | Permissive license allows for private modification and commercial use without copyleft. |
| Shotstack SDK | MIT | FOSS (SDK) | Usable for commercial modification | The SDK is MIT, but the backend service is a paid API with a limited free tier. |
Next steps
- Review the LGPL compliance requirements if selecting FFmpeg.wasm for a bundled application.
- Verify your team size against the Remotion licensing terms to ensure continued free usage.
- Check the VideoContext documentation for browser compatibility with your React version.

About this skill
Finding tools that are actually free and legal to use is harder than it looks. Most searches return "free trials" or "freemium" traps that waste developer time.
This skill automates the hunting and verification of software, AI models, and libraries. It uses specialized scripts to query Hugging Face, GitHub, npm, and PyPI, then cross-references findings against a strict internal database of licenses and red flags. Every recommendation includes a verified license verdict and a breakdown of usage rights, ensuring you never accidentally bake a restrictive or "source-available" dependency into a commercial project.
What it does
- Vets software licenses by checking for OSI-approved status or specific commercial restrictions.
- Filters for true free status, explicitly excluding time-limited trials or marketing-heavy freemium models.
- Searches niche registries including Hugging Face for models, npm for libraries, and GitHub for programs.
- Verifies legal use cases, checking if a resource allows for commercial modification or redistribution.
- Identifies license red flags, catching copyleft obligations or restrictive "open" licenses like BSL or SSPL.
How it works
- Classify the requirement to determine if the user needs a program, AI model, library, or creative asset.
- Execute targeted searches using specialized CLI tools for GitHub, Hugging Face, npm, or PyPI.
- Analyze the license file, checking the repository or provider's official pricing page to confirm it is not just a trial.
- Generate a vetted report that maps the resource against the user's intended personal or commercial use.
Frameworks & tools
Python 3, Hugging Face Hub, GitHub API, npm registry, PyPI, and a custom license verification script.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Standard LLM prompts often hallucinate current pricing or miss the nuance of "free for personal use" vs. "free for commercial use." This skill uses real-time CLI verification scripts and a strict logic gate to ensure no "trialware" or "all rights reserved" resources make it into your report.
Use cases
- Finding a FOSS alternative to a specific proprietary SaaS tool.
- Sourcing AI models that allow commercial fine-tuning and deployment.
- Auditing a specific npm or PyPI package for license compatibility.
- Locating free-tier APIs with enough quota for a MVP.
Known limitations
GitHub searches are subject to unauthenticated rate limits. The skill cannot verify resources behind a login or paywall.
Subject to GitHub unauthenticated rate limits (10/min). Cannot verify resources behind paywalls or logins. License verification requires a public LICENSE file or clear pricing page.
