Source Attribution

This standalone package was extracted from a local skill authored for hotspot research workflows. It references general public-source research practices and uses Kami as the output specification for high-quality long-form document and PDF generation. The mounted vendor/Kami/ directory keeps the original upstream instructions and assets untouched. See NOTICE.md.
