# Source catalog 184 authoritative sources, mapped to 150 skills. Each skill that has any carries its own list at `references/sources.md` inside the skill, which is where an agent reads it while answering. **References, never copies.** The catalog holds a URL and a judgment about it, never source material. That is what keeps it live — a pointer to a regulator's site is right the moment the rule changes, and a snapshot is wrong the day after it is taken. ## What you may do with it **125 of 184 are quotable**, with attribution where the license asks for it. The rest are free to read and not free to reproduce, which is the single most useful thing this catalog records — most of what a professional must cite is not open. | License | Sources | What an agent may do | |---|---|---| | Public domain (US government) | 92 | Quote freely | | Public domain | 5 | Quote freely | | CC BY | 8 | Quote with attribution | | Open data | 1 | Use the data; read the terms before redistributing | | Free to use with attribution | 19 | Quote with the publisher's required credit | | CC BY-SA (share-alike) | 3 | Quote with attribution; do not fold into this repository | | Free to read, all rights reserved | 46 | **Read and cite only.

runs on every push and verifies structure, the license vocabulary, that every skill named resolves, and that a skill with sources actually points at them. Reachability is checked weekly by its own workflow instead, because a publisher being briefly down is not a reason to fail an unrelated pull request. Sources are maintained in `sources/*.toml`. See `sources/README.md` for the format and the full license vocabulary.
