docs(agents): forbid AI attribution in commits and PRs#10
Merged
Conversation
State in the agent guidelines that repository artifacts must not carry Co-Authored-By trailers, generated-by footers, or tool/session links in commit messages, PR titles, or PR bodies.
The AGENTS.md rule covers what agents write, but the GitHub integration appends its own generated-by footer to PR bodies outside the agent's control. Setting attribution.commit and attribution.pr to empty strings in the project Claude Code settings turns that off at the source.

Summary
Two layers, same goal: no AI attribution on repository artifacts.
AGENTS.mdWorking Guidelines rule: no Co-Authored-By trailers, no "Generated with ..." footers, and no tool or session links in commit messages, PR titles, or PR bodies.AGENTS.mdis loaded as instructions by coding-agent sessions on this repo, so the rule is durable across sessions. This governs what agents write..claude/settings.jsonwithattribution.commitandattribution.prset to empty strings. This is the tool-level switch: the GitHub integration appends its own generated-by footer to PR bodies outside the agent's control, and this setting turns that off at the source.Validation
