no-tool-contributors

no-tool-contributors is a cursor rule for Cursor from reddy-sh/tokenHUD. It costs 104 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A rule for keeping AI coding tools out of Git commit credits. Git commits are records of changes made to a code project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Apply when creating commit messages, especially by avoiding AI co-author lines and tool-generated attribution.
Why use it?
It prevents tools such as Copilot or Claude from being listed as contributors or co-authors when only the human developer should receive credit.

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

no-tool-contributors 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 5d 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 Third-Party Tool Contributors

Never add third-party coding tools (Devin, Claude, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) as contributors or co-authors in git commits.

  • Do NOT include Co-Authored-By trailers for any AI tool or bot
  • Do NOT include Generated with [Tool] lines in commit messages
  • Commits should only attribute the human developer

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.
