Their name is in the frontmatter (`reviewed_by:`) and on [the public roster](VERIFIERS.md) |\n| **Source-cited draft** | Written from primary legislation, every figure cited to its source — not yet professionally reviewed |\n\n⚠️ **General reference, not advice.** Guides may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong for your facts. Have a qualified professional review outputs before filing, payment, or action.\n\n---\n\n## Are you an accountant?\n\nYour name on the tax knowledge AI actually uses — with attribution built in:\n\n1. **Build a Guide** for the work you know cold: [openaccountants.com/skills/new](https://www.openaccountants.com/skills/new). It publishes credited to you, and lands in this repo under your name.\n2. **Review a Guide** in your jurisdiction — your name, credential and review date go on it, here and on every AI answer that cites it.\n3. **Set your GitHub username** in [your profile](https://www.openaccountants.com/profile) and your platform edits are committed to this repo as *you* — your contribution graph reflects your work.\n\nThe current roster: **[VERIFIERS.md](VERIFIERS.md)** (generated nightly from the platform).\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nEdit **`skills/**` only** — everything else regenerates automatically:\n\n- `packages/`, `index.json`, `llms-full.txt` — generated nightly; never edit in a PR\n- Merged source PRs are credited to you and must be confirmed as ingested before the next platform export\n- Full guide: [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) · Layout: [docs/REPO-LAYOUT.md](docs/REPO-LAYOUT.md)\n\n---\n\n## For developers\n\n| What | Where |\n|---|---|\n| Guide source (per jurisdiction) | [`skills/`](skills/) |\n| Per-country bundles (generated) | [`packages/`](packages/) |\n| Machine-readable inventory | [`index.json`](index.json) |\n| LLM entry point | [`llms.txt`](llms.txt) |\n| Python MCP server | [`mcp/`](mcp/) · [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/openaccountants-mcp/) |\n| Repo architecture + sync | [`docs/REPO-LAYOUT.md`](docs/REPO-LAYOUT.md) · [`docs/WEBSITE-SYNC.md`](docs/WEBSITE-SYNC.md) |\n\nAPI and platform integrations: [openaccountants.com/for-developers](https://www.openaccountants.com/for-developers)\n\n---\n\n## License\n\n- **Code** (mcp/, scripts/, tools/): [AGPL-3.0](LICENSE)\n- **Guide content**: OpenAccountants Guide License v1.0 — see [LICENSING.md](LICENSING.md); commercial options in [COMMERCIAL-LICENSING.md](COMMERCIAL-LICENSING.md)\n\n**Contact:** info@openaccountants.com · [Security policy](SECURITY.md) · [Cite this repo](CITATION.cff)\n",
