commit-authorship

A repository rule requiring Git commits to list only the human maintainer as author and committer. It also forbids adding AI-tool co-author lines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating commits in the repository, ensuring the configured human identity is used and no AI attribution is added.
Why use it?
It keeps the project's commit history attributed to the intended maintainer and prevents automated tools from being recorded as contributors.

Getting it into your agent

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

commit-authorship 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

Commit authorship

When committing in this repo:

  • Author and committer must be the human maintainer (Mr-remon219 / [email protected]), not Cursor Agent or [email protected].
  • Never add Co-authored-by: lines for Cursor, Cursor Agent, or any AI tool.
  • Do not use inverted co-author trailers; the user is the sole author even when an agent wrote the patch.

Prefer git commit with the user's configured identity and a message only; no agent attribution footers.

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.
