SkillBoss Start Guide
Copyright 2026 Hamdi Hadrich

Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. See the LICENSE file.

Apache-2.0 section 4(d) requires this NOTICE to travel with every copy and
every derivative work. That is deliberate here: what follows is what the
kit is FOR, and it should reach whoever ends up holding a copy.

WHAT THIS KIT CLAIMS, AND WHAT IT DOES NOT

The Start Guide is a coach, not a certification: its guardrails are
heuristic defaults applied by your own agent. It hardens the builder; it
never certifies the app.

- Free, forever. There is no paid tier of this kit and no feature held
  back from it.
- Heuristic, and says so. Nothing in this kit inspects, scans, or
  certifies your application.
- The builder, never the app. Run belts and the run's record speak about the
  person and the process. No claim like "built ship-ready" or "secured by
  SkillBoss" about an application may be derived from this kit.
- No telemetry. As published, this kit makes no network request and sends
  nothing anywhere. Every measurement it prints is computed on your own
  machine from your own git history, or declared by a human and labelled
  as declared.

TRADEMARKS

"SkillBoss" and the SkillBoss brand, name, and logo are NOT licensed by
this repository, and Apache-2.0 section 6 grants no rights in them. You may
state that a project "used the SkillBoss Start Guide". You may not use the
SkillBoss name or brand to certify, endorse, or badge an application --
"secured by SkillBoss", "SkillBoss verified" and the like. The kit refuses
that claim about itself; this notice refuses it about you.

MODIFIED COPIES

You may adapt this kit and redistribute your adaptation under Apache-2.0,
including commercially. Two conditions, both from the license itself:
state in your own NOTICE that you changed it, and do not present the
result as the SkillBoss Start Guide.
