- Keep the Git author and committer as the human contributor's verified GitHub identity.
- AI tools may assist with implementation, but they must not be added as commit co-authors.
- Do not add
Co-authored-byorCo-Authored-Bytrailers for Claude, Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, OpenAI, Anthropic, or another AI client. - Do not mention the client used to create a change in the commit message solely for attribution.
- Before creating or amending a commit, inspect its metadata and remove any AI-client attribution trailer.
This policy applies to commit metadata. Documentation may mention AI products when that is relevant to the product or feature being documented.
