About
Manage-repo-licensing bootstraps, audits, and maintains REUSE-style mixed-license coverage in a repository. It sets up LICENSES/, NOTICE, REUSE.toml, and per-file SPDX headers, then drives the project to a clean reuse lint pass. Useful for open-source repos that mix licenses and need machine-readable, compliant license documentation.
- REUSE-compliant licensing
- Generates LICENSES/ and NOTICE
- Adds SPDX headers
- Passes reuse lint

README.md
Manage Repo Licensing
Bootstrap, audit, and maintain REUSE-style mixed-license coverage in a repository.
Type: Skill
Trigger: /manage-repo-licensing (also activates automatically)
Installation
See the marketplace install instructions.
What It Does
Encodes a REUSE-style workflow for repositories with mixed licensing (code, prose, config, generated artifacts, third-party reference material). The skill is a structured companion: it frames policy, standardizes placement, drives verification with reuse lint, and keeps SPDX, LICENSES/, NOTICE, and REUSE.toml in sync. It is not an automated sweeper.
Three operating modes:
- Bootstrap -- new repository: populate
LICENSES/, authorNOTICEand rootREUSE.toml, apply SPDX headers or sidecars, produce a cleanreuse lint. - Maintain -- existing repository: audit drift, normalize license filenames, fold sidecars into
REUSE.tomlgroups, strip inline SPDX from prose covered by the prose group, fix common drift patterns. - New-file drop -- a single newly added file needs an SPDX header or sidecar. One-commit operation.
Requirements
reusetool. Install via Homebrew:brew install reuse(or via pipx:pipx install reuse).
Usage
/manage-repo-licensing
The skill activates when the user mentions licensing, SPDX headers, REUSE.toml, NOTICE, LICENSES/ normalization, dual licensing, or reuse lint cleanup.
Examples
- "license this repo" -- Bootstrap mode
- "audit license coverage" -- Maintain mode
- "this new file needs a license header" -- New-file drop
- "/manage-repo-licensing"
