{open-source-company-strategy}
Decides what a company open-sources and what stays proprietary, names the strategic motive for each side of the line, says who owns the decision, and states what the company commits never to close. Use whenever someone asks "should we open source this?", "what should we open source", "where do we draw the open-core line", "which features stay paid", "who signs off on open sourcing this", or wants a company-level open source strategy rather than a plan for one project - even if they frame it as a licensing question. Produces an asset-by-asset open/closed verdict, a value-capture and irreversibility check, a public non-reversal commitment and a re-evaluation trigger. Not license selection - use samber/developer-relations-skills@oss-license-strategy.

Skill graphHow this page is produced
The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.
Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.
Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.
An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
