License
a license file GitHub does not identify

Use when taking a repo open source, or hardening one that already is. Run /oss-launch and it scans the repo (stack, existing files, git remote, secrets), asks only what it cannot infer, then generates a tailored OSS file collection (README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, SECURITY, CHANGELOG, .gitignore, .github/ issue + PR templates, CI/CD). Also covers launch (GitHub metadata, badges, Show HN, Reddit, YouTube), release cadence (SemVer + CHANGELOG), and demo-GIF generation. Triggers…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# oss-launch

Turn a repo into a credible open-source project: scan what exists, fill the gaps with
adapted (not boilerplate) files, then optionally launch it.

`templates/` holds the payload this skill writes into a USER's repo. The root files
(README, LICENSE, etc.) describe oss-launch itself. Never confuse the two.

## Run (when invoked)

Work top to bottom. Do not dump all files blindly; scan first, then fill only real gaps.

**0. Scan the repo** (details: `references/scan.md`)
- Stack: `package.json` / `pyproject.toml` / `Cargo.toml` / `go.mod` / `composer.json` /
  `*.csproj` / `Gemfile` / `pom.xml` or `build.gradle` / `Package.swift` -> language,
  package manager, test/build/lint commands. Full marker table: `references/scan.md`.
- Existing OSS files present vs missing: README, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT,
  SECURITY, CHANGELOG, `.gitignore`, `.github/` templates, CI workflows.
- Git: `git remote -v` -> `{{OWNER}}/{{REPO}}` + default branch. `gh repo view` -> public?
- Declared license (`package.json` "license" field / existing `LICENSE`).
- Demo asset present? (screenshot / gif in README or `docs/`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add creativeslibrary/oss-launch/oss-launch@sha256:aa04efa1fa0fb6ae

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.ecf5daf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
