26zl No AI Traces
Delivered work records the accountable human author and describes the change, never the tool or session that produced it.
Rules
- Never add a Co-Authored-By, Signed-off-by, or similar trailer naming an AI assistant, agent, model, or tool.
- Never append generated-with footers, robot signatures, tool names, or promotional links to commit messages, merge or squash messages, pull request titles or bodies, changelogs, or release notes.
- Never write code comments, docstrings, documentation, or ticket updates that narrate prompts, AI involvement, the editing session (including before/after or fix-history narration such as "previously… now…"), or a conversation with an assistant.
- Never change the configured Git author or committer identity.
- Preserve trailers and attribution that credit humans; only machine self-reference is removed or withheld.
- Do not introduce new attribution or narration while amending, rebasing, squashing, or rewording existing content.
- Keep AI mentions that are part of the product itself, its documented subject matter, or required third-party notices.
Boundaries
- An explicit user, repository, or organizational requirement to disclose AI use wins; disclose in the mandated form instead of applying this skill.
- Never remove attribution or sign-off lines that a policy, license, or developer certificate of origin requires.
- This skill governs text about tooling only; it never hides which changes were made or misrepresents review status.
