# Acknowledgments

CC Commander is built on the shoulders of the Claude Code community. We aggregate, orchestrate, and auto-update the best tools in the ecosystem — giving you every Claude Code tool in one install.

## How It Works

CC Commander includes upstream packages as git submodules in `vendor/`. This means:
- Each package maintains its own license and copyright
- Updates flow in automatically via `git submodule update --remote`
- No code is modified — packages are used as-is
- CC Commander's value-add is the orchestration layer that picks the best tool for each job

## External Recommendations (NOT Bundled)

These projects are recommended via `/ccc-connect` or `/ccc-suggest` but are **NOT bundled** with CC Commander. Users install them separately. CCC may name-drop them inside skill output, but does not redistribute their code.

| Project | Author | License | Why it's external |
|---------|--------|---------|-------------------|
| claude-mem | thedotmack | AGPL-3.0 | License incompatible with CC Commander's MIT distribution. Users install separately via `npm install claude-mem` or `/ccc-connect`. |

## Pattern Inspirations

These projects inspired CC Commander's design but are not included as submodules:

- [awesome-claude-code](https://github.com/hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-code) — Community resource directory
- [SuperClaude Framework](https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework) — Multi-platform agent config
- [claude-squad](https://github.com/smtg-ai/claude-squad) — Git worktree isolation patterns
- [planning-with-files](https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files) — Manus-style persistent planning
- [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) — Self-improving agent loops

## Excluded (License Incompatible)

| Package | License | Reason |
|---------|---------|--------|
| oh-my-openagent | SUL-1.0 | Not MIT/Apache/BSD compatible |

## Note on Attribution

This section lists projects whose work we acknowledge and orchestrate. These authors did not contribute directly to CC Commander — they built independent tools that we integrate via git submodules with full license compliance. We are grateful for their work and encourage you to star their repos.
