The
siteasyskill's command vocabulary, design laws and review methodology are adapted from impeccable, then remapped to the/siteasyand/inspectcommand sets and extended with SEO, GEO and additional design references. Theinspectskill calls theimpeccableCLI throughnpx, andsiteasy liveintegrates with impeccable's live-mode scripts when they are installed. impeccable is Apache 2.0, the same license as NullToHero, so this adaptation is permitted; its attribution notices (including the upstream Anthropic frontend-design skill and ehmo's typecraft-guide-skill) are carried forward in NOTICE as required by Apache 2.0 section 4(d). - Playwright: Microsoft, Apache 2.0. https://playwright.dev/

The 1.22.0 release adds deterministic checks, inspect rules and references adapted from these open sources. Specifications and facts (HTML nesting rules, ARIA attribute names, HTTP header semantics) are not copyrightable; where prose or data was adapted it is noted and the license is honored.
- React (MIT, Meta Platforms, Inc.). The
invalid-dom-nestingandinvalid-aria-attributechecks use React DOM's enumerated WAI-ARIA attribute names and its HTML nesting rules (the WHATWG parsing spec). https://github.com/facebook/react - HTML5 Boilerplate and its Apache server configs (MIT, HTML5 Boilerplate). The
charset-early,head-meta,compression-enabled,server-fingerprintand header-quality checks, and the head-meta and print-styles references, adapt its head order, favicon and manifest conventions, print stylesheet and server-header guidance. https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate - Front-End-Checklist (MIT, David Dias). The security, robustness, testing, privacy and i18n rules and references adapt its checklist items, rewritten in the house style. https://github.com/thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist
- PayloadsAllTheThings (MIT, Swissky). The
cors-credentialed-wildcardandopen-redirect-paramdetection heuristics adapt its documented misconfiguration signals; no offensive payloads are included. https://github.com/swisskyrepo/PayloadsAllTheThings - design-resources-for-developers (MIT, Brad Traversy). The
generators.csv,resources.csv,inspiration.csvanddesign-systems.csvcatalogues and the external-tool remediation lists adapt its curated tool names and URLs. https://github.com/bradtraversy/design-resources-for-developers - The Book of Secret Knowledge (MIT, trimstray).

null-to-hero/tools/design-system/scripts/fetch-asset.mjs can retrieve icons, brand marks, fonts and public-domain images from third-party services (Iconify, Simple Icons, Google Fonts, Openverse with its partner museums, DiceBear and Colormind) when a project needs them. Nothing from these services is stored in this repository, so each asset keeps its upstream license, honored in the generated site as described in null-to-hero/skills/siteasy/references/fetch-asset.md.
