This skill should be used when the user asks to "open source this project", "prepare this repository for public release", "make this repo public", "check open-source readiness", "choose a license for this project", or "set up release automation" ahead of a public launch. Provides a release-readiness workflow covering secrets hygiene, licensing, documentation, CI, and language-specific packaging.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'open-sourcing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'open-sourcing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named open-sourcing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/trailofbits/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'e4dd0bb5b15535f7c5a0834187dffba6ac37e4ff' -- 'plugins/open-sourcing/skills/open-sourcing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/open-sourcing/skills/open-sourcing' ~/.agents/skills/'open-sourcing' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'open-sourcing' ~/.claude/skills/'open-sourcing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
