sociotechnica-org Add License Header
Procedure
Identify target files from the user's request -- either a single path or all source files under a given directory.
For each target file, read its first 20 lines and check whether the string
SPDX-License-Identifieris already present.If the header is already present, skip that file. Never add a second header to a file that already has one.
If no header is present, insert this exact two-line header at line 1 of the file -- above all existing content, including shebangs, comments, or blank lines:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 // Copyright (c) 2026 Acme CorpAfter processing all files, report which files were changed and which were skipped (already had a header).
Constraints
- Never duplicate a header. If
SPDX-License-Identifieralready appears in the first 20 lines, the file is considered done -- do not touch it. - Always insert at the very top. The header must be the first content in
the file, above any shebang (
#!), existing comment, or code. Do not place it after existing content.
