no-cursor-commit-attribution

A git rule that keeps Cursor-related credit lines out of commits and pull requests. Cursor is a coding editor with AI features, and a co-author trailer is a line added to git history naming another contributor.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for enforcing clean commit and pull-request metadata by rejecting Cursor co-author and other Cursor or agent trailers.
Why use it?
It prevents unwanted Cursor or agent attribution from appearing in project history. If such a line is added automatically, the rule requires the commit to be rewritten before it is pushed.

Getting it into your agent

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

no-cursor-commit-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 yesterday.

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 Cursor commit attribution

Never add Co-authored-by: Cursor, Made-with: Cursor, or any Cursor/agent trailer to commits or PRs.

If a trailer is injected automatically, rewrite the commit before push so history stays clean.

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.
