code-license-position

code-license-position is a skill for Claude Code from laurigates/claude-plugins. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,116 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A licence-checking procedure for open-weights models and source-available dependencies. It looks at the licence together with the vendor's frequently asked questions and public discussion threads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a model or dependency licence appears to restrict a territory, organisation, or type of use, especially before documenting the conclusion in an issue, pull request, or other public document.
Why use it?
A licence file may not fully describe the vendor's stated position, so relying on it alone can incorrectly label a use as forbidden. The procedure helps produce a better-supported conclusion before reporting a restriction.

Token cost

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

code-license-position scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 27d 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.

Verify the Licensing Position, Not Just the LICENSE File

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use something else when...
A LICENSE for an open-weights model or source-available dependency seems to forbid your use (territory, entity, field-of-use carve-out) Auditing a whole dependency tree for licence compatibility — use code-quality-plugin:code-dep-audit
A licence conclusion is about to land in a public issue, PR, or doc Deciding whether to contribute upstream at all — use git-plugin:git-issue-scoping

A LICENSE reads complete and authoritative, so a restriction found in it gets reported as settled fact. But for source-available models and dependencies the vendor's actual position routinely lives in two other places in the same repo: a licence FAQ, and the discussion tab. Read the licence, then go find those, before telling anyone a licence blocks the work.

Canonical break (2026-08, MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3): LICENSE §I.5 excludes the EU, UK, South Korea and USA from the "Applicable Territory", and §V.4 bars use — even distribution of Outputs — outside it. That was reported as a hard blocker in a public issue. The same repo's docs/QA-about-License.md frames the carve-out as regulatory caution, "not yet, not ever", and links an application form; a maintainer in HF discussion #12 wrote "apply will auto get access" and told individuals to put Personal/None in the mandatory Company Name field. The blocker was a form. Corrected twice, publicly.

Execution

  1. List the repo's own licence docs alongside LICENSE:

    curl -s https://huggingface.co/api/models/<owner>/<repo> | jq -r '.siblings[].rfilename' | grep -iE 'licen|faq|qa|terms'
    

    GitHub analogue: gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/contents for a licence FAQ.

  2. Read the discussion threads that mention the licence:

    curl -s https://huggingface.co/api/models/<owner>/<repo>/discussions/<n> | jq -r '.events[] | select(.type=="comment") | "=== \(.author.name)\n\(.data.latest.raw)\n"'
