Anarchy engine anarchy-legal package

Legal document generation utilities.

CLI scripts

The package exposes generator commands via npm bin. Each supports --help.

Example usage in a consumer package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "legal:licenses": "anarchy-legal-generate-licenses --workspace packages/app --out ./legal/THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md",
    "legal:files": "anarchy-legal-generate-files --workspace packages/app --out ./legal",
    "legal:notice": "anarchy-legal-generate-notice --workspace packages/app --out ./legal/NOTICE.md"
  }
}

anarchy-legal-generate-licenses

Produces THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md for a target workspace.

Usage:

anarchy-legal-generate-licenses \
  --workspace <name|path> \
  --out <THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md> \
  [--root <dir>] \
  [--no-include-workspaces] \
  [--include-workspace-self] \
  [--debug]

Options:

• --workspace (string, required) Workspace name (package.json:name) or path relative to monorepo root.
• --out (string, required) Output file path for THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md.
• --root (string, optional) Starting directory for monorepo root discovery (fallbacks: INIT_CWD, cwd, script dir).
• --include-workspaces / --no-include-workspaces (boolean, optional) Default: include.
• --include-workspace-self (boolean, optional) Default: false.
• --debug (boolean, optional) Verbose diagnostics.

Notes:

• External deps are derived from prod dependency “seeds” of the workspace closure (avoids hoisted/peer noise).
• Cycles between workspaces are detected and reported as errors.
• When no third-party deps are found, the file is still created with a short explanatory note.

anarchy-legal-generate-files

Generates legal docs (DISCLAIMER, EULA, PRIVACY, SECURITY).

Usage:

anarchy-legal-generate-files \
  --workspace <name|path> \
  --out <dir> \
  [--templates <dir>] \
  [--types DISCLAIMER,EULA,PRIVACY,SECURITY] \
  [--debug]

Options:

• --workspace (string, required) Workspace name (from package.json) or path relative to monorepo root.
• --out (string, required) Output directory where docs are written.
• --templates (string, optional) Templates directory. If omitted, auto-detected.
• --types (string, optional) Comma-separated list of docs to generate. Default: DISCLAIMER,EULA,PRIVACY,SECURITY.
• --debug (boolean, optional) Verbose logs.

Notes:

• Placeholders use {{NAME}}. PACKAGE_* are filled from the target workspace package.json.
• Overrides and template selection come from .anarchy-legal.config.json in the workspace.

anarchy-legal-generate-notice

Builds NOTICE.md by parsing the workspace attribution source (e.g. THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md).

Usage:

anarchy-legal-generate-notice \
  --workspace <name|path> \
  [--source <path>] \
  [--source-name <file>] \
  [--out <NOTICE.md>] \
  [--include-upstream-notices] \
  [--max-upstream-notice-kb <N>] \
  [--audit] [--strict] \
  [--debug]

Options:

• --workspace (string, required) Workspace name or path relative to monorepo root.
• --source (string, optional) Full/relative path to the input attribution file to parse.
• --source-name (string, optional) Default: THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md.
• --out (string, optional) Default: /NOTICE.md.
• --include-upstream-notices (boolean, optional) Default: false.
• --max-upstream-notice-kb (number, optional) Default: 128.
• --audit (boolean, optional) Print a diff between headings in source and parsed entries.
• --strict (boolean, optional) With --audit, exit with code 2 if mismatches are found.
• --debug (boolean, optional) Verbose logs.

Exit codes:

• 0 success
• 1 source file not found / general error
• 2 audit mismatch when --strict is used
