# License Header Adder Skill
This skill ensures that all new source files have the correct copyright header.
## Instructions
1. **Read the Template**:
First, read the content of the header template file located at `resources/HEADER.txt`.
```python
# Pseudocode for agent understanding
template_content = view_file("resources/HEADER.txt")
```
2. **Prepend to File**:
When creating a new file (e.g., `.py`, `.java`, `.js`, `.ts`, `.go`), prepend the `target_file` content with the template content.
3. **Modify Comment Syntax**:
- For C-style languages (Java, JS, TS, C++), keep the `/* ... */` block as is.
- For Python, Shell, or YAML, convert the block to use `#` comments.
- For HTML/XML, use `<!-- ... -->`.
## Example Usage
If the user asks to "create a python script for hello world", you should generate:
```python
# Copyright (c) 2024 Google LLC
# ... (rest of license text) ...
def main():
print("Hello World")
```
