cavil-refine

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you clean up unresolved license matches in Cavil by deciding whether each snippet should become a reusable license pattern, a safe ignore, a globbed exclusion, a missing-license escalation, or a note.

Core Features & Use Cases

• License Patterning: Capture SPDX tags, license declarations, and full legal texts so Cavil can resolve the same wording across future package scans.
• Noise Filtering: Ignore log lines, build metadata, code comments, and other text that only looks license-like but is not legally meaningful.
• Coverage Expansion: Use globs for fixture-heavy or catalog-style directories, and escalate unknown-but-real licenses to the missing-license queue when Cavil lacks the identifier.
• Use Case: A package report contains dozens of unresolved snippets spread across README files, bundled notices, and test data; this Skill turns them into the right mix of patterns, ignores, and follow-up actions.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to review the unresolved Cavil snippets and return the correct action for each one, using reusable patterns for real license text and safe ignores for non-license noise.
