003-attribution

A rule that removes references to AI tools from client-facing commits, pull requests, comments, and other delivered code content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Stripping attribution from commit messages, reviewing pull-request text, and keeping AI-tool references out of code comments and client-facing content.
Why use it?
It prevents unwanted AI-attribution text from appearing in a client's project history or materials.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

003-attribution scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

No AI Attribution in Client-Facing Content

Do not expose AI tooling in client git history, PR descriptions, or code comments.

What to remove

Remove these patterns from all commits, PR bodies, commit messages, and code:

  • Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <[email protected]>
  • Co-Authored-By: Claude ... (any variant)
  • Generated with Claude Code
  • 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
  • claude.ai references in commit messages or PR descriptions
  • AI assistant footers in PR templates

Enforcement

  • commit-msg hook strips attribution automatically from every commit message
  • This rule governs PR bodies and code comments, which the hook does not cover
  • Before running gh pr create, review the body — remove attribution strings manually

What's allowed

  • Internal tooling notes in .claude/ config files (gitignored)
  • Documentation about the AI workflow in team-facing docs (e.g., CONTRIBUTING.md) when explicitly approved
  • Attribution in commits to internal/private BST repos where it's expected

Why

Client projects are delivered work product. AI tooling attribution in git history creates unnecessary disclosure, may violate NDA scope, and makes commits less professional. The work speaks for itself.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
