+Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
+
+Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
+conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
+original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright
+and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The
+following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not
+exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
+
+     Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are
+     intended for use by those authorized to give the public
+     permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by
+     copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are
+     irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms
+     and conditions of the license they choose before applying it.
+     Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before
+     applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the
+     material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any
+     material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-
+     licensed material, or material used under an exception or
+     limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors:

+
+     Considerations for the public: By using one of our public
+     licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the
+     licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If
+     the licensor's permission is not necessary for any reason--for
+     example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to
+     copyright--then that use is not regulated by the license. Our
+     licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain
+     other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of
+     the licensed material may still be restricted for other
+     reasons, including because others have copyright or other
+     rights in the material. A licensor may make special requests,
+     such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
+     Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to
+     respect those requests where reasonable. More considerations

+     Rights.
+
+  d. Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the

+     agreements.
+
+  e. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or
+     any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights
+     that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material.

+
+  h. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
+     under this Public License.
+
+  i. NonCommercial means not primarily intended for or directed towards
+     commercial advantage or monetary compensation. For purposes of
+     this Public License, the exchange of the Licensed Material for
+     other material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights by digital
+     file-sharing or similar means is NonCommercial provided there is
+     no payment of monetary compensation in connection with the
+     exchange.
+
+  j. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
+     process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such
+     as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution,
+     dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material
+     available to the public including in ways that members of the
+     public may access the material from a place and at a time
+     individually chosen by them.
+
+  k. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright
+     resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of
+     the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases,
+     as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially
+     equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
+
+  l. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights
+     under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
+
+
+Section 2 -- Scope.
+
+  a. License grant.
+
+       1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
+          the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
+          non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
+          exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
+
+            a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
+               in part, for NonCommercial purposes only; and
+
+            b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material for
+               NonCommercial purposes only.
+
+       2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
+          Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
+          License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
+          its terms and conditions.
+
+       3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
+          6(a).
+
+       4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
+          Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
+          all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
+          and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
+          Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
+          authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
+          necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
+          technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
+          Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
+          simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
+          (4) never produces Adapted Material.
+
+       5. Downstream recipients.
+
+            a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
+               recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
+               receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
+               Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
+               Public License.
+
+            b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
+               any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
+               apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
+               Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
+               Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
+               Material.
+
+       6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
+          may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
+          are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
+          with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
+          the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
+          provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
+
+  b. Other rights.
+
+       1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
+          licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
+          privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
+          the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
+          assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
+          extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
+          Rights, but not otherwise.
+
+       2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
+          Public License.
+
+       3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
+          collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
+          Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
+          under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
+          licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
+          reserves any right to collect such royalties, including when
+          the Licensed Material is used other than for NonCommercial
+          purposes.
+
+
+Section 3 -- License Conditions.
+
+Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
+following conditions.
+
+  a. Attribution.
+
+       1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified
+          form), You must:
+
+            a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
+               with the Licensed Material:
+
+                 i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
+                    Material and any others designated to receive
+                    attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
+                    the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
+                    designated);
+
+                ii. a copyright notice;
+
+               iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
+
+                iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
+                    warranties;
+
+                 v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
+                    extent reasonably practicable;
+
+            b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
+               retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
+
+            c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
+               Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
+               hyperlink to, this Public License.
+
+       2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
+          reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
+          which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
+          reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
+          hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
+          information.
+
+       3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
+          information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
+          reasonably practicable.
+
+       4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's
+          License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted
+          Material from complying with this Public License.
+
+
+Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
+
+Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
+apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
+
+  a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
+     to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
+     portion of the contents of the database for NonCommercial purposes
+     only;
+
+  b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
+     contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
+     Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
+     Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
+
+  c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
+     all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
+
+For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
+replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
+Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
+
+
+Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
+
+  a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
+     EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
+     AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
+     ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
+     IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
+     WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+     PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
+     ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
+     KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
+     ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
+
+  b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
+     TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
+     NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
+     INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
+     COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
+     USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
+     ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
+     DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
+     IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
+
+  c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
+     above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
+     possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
+     waiver of all liability.
+
+
+Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
+
+  a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
+     Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
+     this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
+     terminate automatically.
+
+  b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
+     Section 6(a), it reinstates:
+
+       1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
+          it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
+          violation; or
+
+       2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
+
+     For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
+     right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
+     of this Public License.
+
+  c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
+     Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
+     distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
+     will not terminate this Public License.
+
+  d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
+     License.
+
+
+Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
+
+  a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
+     terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
+
+  b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
+     Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
+     independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
+
+
+Section 8 -- Interpretation.
+
+  a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
+     shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
+     conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
+     be made without permission under this Public License.
+
+  b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
+     deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
+     minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
+     cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
+     without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
+     conditions.
+
+  c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
+     failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
+     Licensor.
+
+  d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
+     as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
+     that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
+     processes of any jurisdiction or authority.

+Academic Research Skills (ARS) is a **source-available academic research copilot framework** for noncommercial scholarly use. The reference distribution is a suite of Claude Code skills that assists human researchers through the full research-to-publication pipeline. Sibling distributions for other agent platforms ([e.g. Codex](https://github.com/Imbad0202/academic-research-skills-codex)) follow the same workflow content, the same human-in-the-loop design philosophy, and the same license terms; see [CONTRIBUTING.md § Platform ports](CONTRIBUTING.md#platform-ports-community-maintained-only).

+
+## What this is not
+
+ARS is not an autonomous paper-writing system. It is not a replacement for the researcher. It does not claim authorship, and its outputs are not submission-ready without human review.
+
+## Rejected mechanisms (autonomous-research anti-patterns)
+
+These are not "out of scope" footnotes. They are the load-bearing boundary that defines what ARS does NOT do, and would not do even if a future system made them feasible. Most are autonomous mechanisms catalogued by Kong et al. (2026), *AI for Auto-Research: Roadmap & User Guide* (arXiv:2605.18661), and rejected against the human-led positioning above. The recorded review test for the autonomous-research mechanisms — "who controls the next research-state transition?" — lives in the [L1 design lesson](docs/design/2026-06-08-kong-255-l1-copilot-not-auto-research.md).
+
+- **End-to-end autonomous research pipeline** (Kong §7.4.8). A system that carries a project from question to manuscript without scholar confirmation at each state transition. Rejected: the scholar would become a reviewer of AI output, not the author. The pipeline's mandatory checkpoints exist precisely to prevent this.
+- **Autonomous idea-generation agent** (Kong §3.1). An agent that proposes
+  research hypotheses or questions *for* the scholar without an explicit
+  authorship-boundary transition. Rejected — and distinct from the shipped
+  wording-pattern advisory (#257): while non-generation Socratic mode is active,
+  ARS may flag surface wording/framing patterns, summarize only directions the
+  scholar has already expressed, and ask follow-up questions, but it must not
+  propose, substitute, rank, expand, or select research hypotheses or questions
+  for the scholar. Non-convergence is never consent. If the scholar explicitly
+  asks the system itself to propose candidates, ARS must visibly leave that mode
+  by emitting `[SOCRATIC-NON-GENERATION-EXIT: explicit_user_request]` before any
+  candidate content and label the result AI-generated; this is a disclosed mode
+  change, not a hidden Socratic fallback. The boundary is recorded in the
+  [L2 design lesson](docs/design/2026-06-08-kong-255-l2-advisory-not-generation.md).
+- **Paper2X auto-generation** (Kong §6). Autonomous generation of slides / posters / video from a manuscript. Rejected — and distinct from a *fidelity audit*: ARS may audit an already-authored or externally generated dissemination artifact against the manuscript for fidelity, but it must not transform a manuscript into a dissemination artifact by choosing the content, narrative, layout, or output medium itself. (Dissemination *design* is handled by separate, non-ARS skill chains; the fidelity-audit suggestion itself is out of this repo's scope.)
+- **Autonomous experiment execution / coding** (Kong §3.3). An LLM that runs experiments or code without scholar oversight. Rejected — and distinct from the shipped Experiment Provenance Intake (#260): ARS may ingest scholar-declared external experiment provenance and check manuscript claims against the declared results, but it must not initiate, run, modify, iterate, or treat tool-executed experiment / code outputs as evidence inside the pipeline.
+- **Physical wet-lab automation API** (Kong §7.4.6). An interface that drives liquid handlers or automated labs. Rejected: even with safeguards, this extends beyond a research copilot's scope into laboratory infrastructure, and conflicts with the copilot-not-pilot positioning.
+- **Simulated human-subjects review committee.** LLM lenses named after statutory committee seats, pre-committing a protocol risk level and combining seat judgments into a committee-like result. Rejected: statutory composition rules create an independent, representative, conflict-accountable human body; they are not an epistemic recipe whose legitimacy transfers to model personas ([45 CFR 46.107](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-45/subtitle-A/subchapter-A/part-46/subpart-A/section-46.107); [Taiwan Human Subjects Research Act, Art. 7](https://law.moj.gov.tw/ENG/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?pcode=L0020176)). A risk level cannot be meaningfully pre-committed before protocol facts are seen, determination letters are not ethical ground truth, and the unresolved reviewer severity-band error (#648) is especially consequential when risk language is the output. The ownership boundary is categorical: AI may generate questions or advisory observations, but a judgment that binds an absent person requires an accountable human owner. If this topic returns, the defensible object is an RFC and held-out evaluation of multi-lens *question generation*—concern recall, false reassurance, and abstention—not risk levels, committee verdicts, or a system called a committee.
+
+These are first-party scope boundaries and review criteria for future changes, not runtime guarantees. First-party ARS treats each as out of scope; adding one would require changing this recorded boundary, not merely adding a feature.
+
+## Recorded non-goals (scope boundaries without a mechanism)
+
+Unlike the Rejected mechanisms above — capabilities ARS refuses on principle — these are lifecycle stages and state layers ARS deliberately does not enter. They were adjudicated out of scope in the 2026-06-10 researcher-blindspot audit and are recorded here so the boundary is reviewable, not improvised (the same recording discipline as the Rejected mechanisms; boundary + review criterion, not a runtime guarantee).
+
+- **Post-publication lifecycle.** Tracking citation contexts of the scholar's own published papers, errata/corrigenda workflows, and OA self-archiving compliance are out of scope. ARS's front is research-to-publication; what happens to a paper after it ships belongs to the scholar and their institutional tooling. The existing `monitoring_agent` is unaffected — it alerts on developments in the *cited* literature (an input to current work), not on the scholar's own published output. Review criterion: a proposed feature whose value begins *after* the manuscript is accepted extends the front, and requires changing this recorded boundary first.
+- **Research-program-level state.** ARS keeps no memory across papers: no registry of the scholar's prior claims, no carried-forward limitations list, no reviewer-history profile. The per-paper Material Passport remains the only state carrier, and every run starts from what the scholar explicitly feeds it. This is a deliberate consequence of the anti-leakage philosophy — gates that trusted an ambient cross-paper memory would be evaluating state nobody declared this run. The supported way for a returning author to carry their own prior work forward without any new mechanism is the [Cross-paper workflow guide](docs/cross-paper-workflow.md). Review criterion: a proposed feature that reads or writes scholar state outside the current run's passport crosses this boundary.
+- **Institutional / journal format-profile content.** Unlike the two above, ARS *does* ship the mechanism — the scholar-declared layout `format_profile` (#439), so a user can bind a thesis or journal template without forking. What ARS deliberately does NOT ship is any *specific* institution's or journal's profile *content*: the repo carries the schema and a synthetic example only, never a real school's font/spacing/caption rules. Binding the suite to one institution's template is the boundary the [#439 design](docs/design/2026-06-15-439-format-profile-design.md) keeps out. Review criterion: a PR that adds a real institution's or journal's `format_profile.yaml` (or hardcodes its rules into an agent) to this repo crosses this boundary — profiles stay user-supplied and out-of-tree.
+
+## Integrity checks and the empirical-work boundary
+
+ARS assesses the **manuscript and the reported process**. Its checks cover citation existence, claim–source alignment, assessment of the reported methodology, alignment between manuscript claims and scholar-declared experiment results, figure/table fidelity, reporting-guideline coverage, and process/package conformance. These are checks with explicit coverage limits—not guarantees: some are sampled, some depend on external-index coverage, and some are LLM-mediated judgments.
+
+ARS does not validate **actual execution**. It cannot establish that the reported procedures were performed, that raw data are authentic or complete, that analyses reproduce from the underlying materials, or that a real-world intervention occurred as described. Experiment Provenance Intake records scholar declarations and checks their internal alignment; it does not execute or independently validate the experiment. The honest failure shape is stark: a study built on fabricated data can pass every ARS gate if the fabrication is consistently reported, cited, and packaged. Researchers and readers must therefore treat ARS outputs as bounded manuscript/process checks and retain human, institutional, and reproducibility review for the underlying empirical work.

+
+## Design philosophy
+
+**Assistive, not deceptive.** ARS helps you write better, not hide that you used AI.
+
+- Style Calibration learns your voice from past papers — so the output sounds like you, not like a machine
+- Writing Quality Check catches AI-typical patterns — to improve prose quality, not evade detection
+- Disclosure Mode generates venue-specific or policy-anchor AI usage statements — because transparency is the standard
+
+**Human-in-the-loop, always.** The pipeline's checkpoint system is mandatory by design:
+
+- FULL checkpoints present all deliverables and require explicit user confirmation
+- MANDATORY checkpoints at integrity gates and review decisions cannot be skipped
+- "Full mode" means full-pipeline execution, not full autonomy — the human decides at every gate
+- Max 2 revision loops, after which remaining issues become "Acknowledged Limitations" rather than being silently resolved
+
+**Failure modes are made visible, not hidden.** The 7-mode AI Research Failure Mode Checklist (v3.2) and Reviewer Calibration Mode exist so that users can see where the AI might be wrong — not so that the AI can claim it's always right. The v3.7.3 + v3.8 L3 claim-faithfulness gate adds per-citation locator anchors and an opt-in audit pass that verifies whether each cited source actually supports the claim made of it.
+
+**Boundaries are recorded, not improvised.** When adopting a capability from a published system would touch a load-bearing boundary — who ranks, what propagates, who writes state — the decision of whether and how to adopt it is written down as a design-lesson doc, so the same boundary is applied consistently later. The Co-Scientist (Gottweis et al. 2026) analysis is recorded in four such docs: hidden-ranking vs. advisory ranking ([L1](docs/design/2026-06-02-co-scientist-220-l1-hidden-ranking.md)), unapproved feedback propagation ([L2](docs/design/2026-06-02-co-scientist-221-l2-feedback-propagation.md)), which mechanisms transfer to ARS and which do not ([L3](docs/design/2026-06-02-co-scientist-222-l3-transfer-matrix.md)), and control-plane ownership — who may write, rank, or route ([L4](docs/design/2026-06-02-co-scientist-223-l4-control-plane-ownership.md)). The Kong (2026) auto-research analysis adds two: copilot vs. auto-research as a research-state-authority line ([L1](docs/design/2026-06-08-kong-255-l1-copilot-not-auto-research.md)) and advisory-on-wording vs. idea-generation ([L2](docs/design/2026-06-08-kong-255-l2-advisory-not-generation.md)); the autonomous mechanisms they reject are enumerated in [Rejected mechanisms](#rejected-mechanisms-autonomous-research-anti-patterns) above.
