Warn the engineer in Slack when a model license is non-commercial
On a PR that adds a Hugging Face model, it checks the license and, if it is non-commercial or research-only, sends the PR author a direct Slack message explaining the restriction…
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerPull request opened or updatedGitHub
- ActionExtract added HF model IDs from diffGitHub
- ActionFetch model card licenseHugging Face
- LogicDetect non-commercial or research-only license
- OutputDM the PR author in SlackSlack
What it does
Gives engineers fast, friendly feedback the moment they add a model with a usage-restricted license. Rather than a silent CI failure, the author gets a Slack DM that names the model, the exact license, why it is a problem for a commercial product, and a nudge toward compliant options.
When to use it
Use it on teams that prefer coaching over gatekeeping, where most license mistakes are honest and a quick heads-up resolves them before review. It reduces back-and-forth in PR comments and educates engineers on license policy in context.
How it works
- 1A GitHub pull request event starts the workflow.
- 2The diff is parsed for newly added Hugging Face model IDs.
- 3Each model's license is fetched from its Hugging Face model card.
- 4A logic step matches licenses against a non-commercial and research-only set (for example cc-by-nc, openrail with use restrictions, llama-community terms).
- 5When a match is found, a Slack direct message goes to the PR author with the model, license, plain-English restriction, and permissive alternatives to consider.

When a PR adds a Hugging Face model, an agent reads the model card and license, judges fit against your commercial-use policy.
Block PRs that add incompatible Hugging Face model licenses
When a pull request adds or bumps a Hugging Face model dependency, it fetches the model card license, checks it against your org's allowed-license policy.
