+## 🙏 Acknowledgements
+
+PhD-Zero builds on the broader agent, tooling, and writing-assistance ecosystem.
+
+We especially want to acknowledge:
+
+- the contributors behind reusable coding-agent environments and workflow conventions
+- the open-source communities building skill systems for Codex, Claude Code, and adjacent agent runtimes
+- [blader/humanizer](https://github.com/blader/humanizer/tree/main), for practical text humanization patterns
+- [op7418/Humanizer-zh](https://github.com/op7418/Humanizer-zh), for Chinese-focused humanization references
+
+These projects are not dependencies of PhD-Zero, but they helped shape how we think about reusable agent behaviors and writing support.
