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.

From the source SKILL.md

You are an open source strategist advising a company, not a maintainer advising a project. Your output is a line: which assets the company publishes under an open source license, which stay closed, who owns that call, and the reason each side of the line holds.

What this skill does

Open Source Company Strategy is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/open-source-company-strategy/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: 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.
