Once you're comfortable with basic prompting and code generation, come back and give Impeccable a try.

+ +
+ Is Impeccable free? What about the detection engine? +
+

Impeccable has two parts with different licenses:

+

Skills and commands (this repo) are Apache 2.0 -- fully open source, free for any use, commercial or otherwise. Use them in any project, fork them, modify them.

+

The detection engine (@impeccable/detect) is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1. It's free for:

+
    +
  • Individuals and personal projects
    • +
  • Open source projects (OSI-licensed)
    • +
  • Education and research
    • +
  • Organizations with 5 or fewer people, or under $1M ARR
    • +
+

Larger organizations using the detection engine (e.g., in CI/CD pipelines) need a commercial license. The code converts to Apache 2.0 automatically in 2030.

+

When you run npx impeccable detect, the CLI (Apache 2.0) calls the detection engine (BSL), so the BSL terms apply to that usage.
