License provenance

Upstream declares MIT. The original declaration and pinned source are preserved in for-forgecat/LICENSE-SOURCE.md and in the installed skill’s forgecat-notices/ directory. MIT-STANDARD-REFERENCE.md is a ForgeCat-added reference, not an upstream LICENSE. No copyright holder or year has been supplied by ForgeCat. The upstream missing copyright notice remains disclosed.

Verification scope

This is a locally prepared candidate. Fresh exact-version installation and runtime verification are pending on all five platforms; no Tested claim is inherited. External service access, application deployment and model output quality have not been tested.

The skill and both original project rule sources are preserved. OpenClaw/Hermes currently receive the skill without the separate project rules; their candidate scope remains Partial.
