Quick brief

Use this skill when an agent needs to inspect the licenses of Go dependencies before a release or policy review. It works well for repositories that need a fast report of transitive modules and their license obligations.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Invoke it instead of using go-licenses as a raw product when the job is bounded: scan the Go module graph, produce the license report, and flag dependencies whose terms need review before shipping.

This is skill-shaped because the boundary is concrete and narrow, audit Go dependency licenses. It is not a general package-management or legal-tech listing.
