license-compliance

license-compliance is a skill for Claude Code from kirich1409/krozov-ai-tools. It costs 79 tokens per session (582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency-license checker for Maven libraries that follows both direct and transitive dependencies, meaning the libraries those libraries rely on. It compares their SPDX licenses with your project's licensing policy.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for auditing a Maven dependency tree, flagging violations for review, and showing which dependency introduced each license.
Why use it?
It helps reveal copyleft, network-copyleft, proprietary, missing, or unrecognized licenses that may conflict with your project before they become compliance problems.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

license-compliance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

License Compliance

Aggregate SPDX licenses across the full transitive closure of one or more root Maven GAVs and flag risky/incompatible licenses against a project license posture or an explicit disallow list.

Steps

  1. Parse root dependencies the user wants scanned — groupId, artifactId, version (version required per entry; capped at 20 roots).

  2. Ask (if not already stated) which policy applies:

    • projectLicense — an SPDX id or license name; a permissive posture (or omitted projectLicense) defaults to disallowing strong-copyleft, network-copyleft, and proprietary.
    • disallow — explicit SPDX ids and/or category names; when set, this replaces the default disallow set entirely rather than adding to it.
  3. Call check_license_compliance with dependencies, optional projectLicense, optional disallow.

  4. Present per-node verdicts: ok / review / violation, with groupId:artifactId:version, spdxId/license, category, viaTransitive (direct vs transitive), and reason. Group by verdict, violation first. Missing/unrecognized license metadata is review, never a silent ok — present it as needing a human look, not as clean.

Known limitations

This is a heuristic policy signal, not legal advice — say so when a violation is reported. Deps.dev package-metadata SPDX only; per-root graphs are resolved in isolation (same caveats as /transitive-graph and /dependency-conflicts); a compound SPDX expression (A OR B) or an operator beyond a single known id degrades to review.

Constraints and non-goals

  • Not for a single dependency's own license with no transitive scan needed — use /dependency-license.

Fallback (MCP unavailable only)

No practical manual fallback — walking a full transitive graph and fetching per-node license metadata by hand does not scale. Tell the user this check is unavailable rather than approximating it from the direct dependency's license alone.
