# Attribution & Licenses

This harness integrates and adapts open-source work. Licenses are respected and preserved.

## Adopted (MIT — used and adapted, license retained)

- **marketingskills** — Corey Haines. https://github.com/coreyhaines31/marketingskills
  MIT License (see `LICENSE.marketingskills`). The tactical skill library in `skills/`
  (copywriting, cro, seo-audit, ads, pricing, referrals, launch, marketing-psychology, etc.)
  and the tool-integration docs in `tools/` are adopted from this project. Some skills are
  extended or bridged to this harness's research engine and strategic brain; see
  `ARCHITECTURE.md`. Original authorship and license are retained.

- **agentkits-marketing** — AgentKits Team (AityTech). https://github.com/aitytech/agentkits-marketing
  MIT License. Referenced for agent-persona and command-UX patterns. Selectively adapted, not
  copied wholesale.

## Pattern-only (no license — NOT copied; architecture studied, reimplemented from scratch)

- **ai-company-researcher** — Mayo Oshin (mayooear).
  https://github.com/mayooear/ai-company-researcher
  No license file present (all rights reserved). NO code from this project is included. Only the
  high-level workflow *pattern* (validate-URL → structured extraction → fallback search →
  human-review/refine loop) was studied and reimplemented independently in
  `skills/market-research/SKILL.md`. Ideas are not copyrightable; the implementation here is
  original.

## Grounding corpus

- GaryVee keynote transcripts + a tactical IG/Meta-ads operator corpus (`~/transcripts/`),
  distilled into `knowledge/marketing.md`.
- Alex Hormozi published frameworks (encoded, to be reinforced with transcripts).
- Primary teardown + reporting on Higgsfield AI's growth and failures, distilled into
  `knowledge/viral-growth-engine.md` (sources cited inline in that file).
