Attribution Rules

Use the configured attribution identity from references/attribution-config.md.

If references/attribution-config.md is missing, stop before creating or editing external tracker content and ask the user to run:

npx tsx scripts/configure-attribution.ts --name "Your Agent Name" --emoji "symbol"

Signoff Format

Always add one attribution line using bold + italic text followed by the configured emoji outside the formatting:

***<Action> by <agent name>*** <emoji>

Use these actions:

Creating a new issue, pull request, work item, task, bug, or sub-issue: Created
Posting a comment or review: Commented
Modifying an item not originally created by this agent: Modified

Do not add Modified attribution when editing an item this agent originally created. The existing Created attribution is sufficient.

Platform Rules

GitHub

Applies to issues, pull requests, comments, and PR reviews.
Place the attribution line at the end of the description/comment/review body, separated by a blank line.
GitHub uses standard Markdown; use ***Created by <agent name>*** <emoji> style formatting.

Linear

Applies to issues, sub-issues, and comments.
Use standard Markdown formatting.
Put the attribution at the end of the issue description or comment body when the field supports body text.

Azure DevOps

Applies to work items, tasks, bugs, user stories, and work item comments.
For Markdown-capable comments, use standard Markdown formatting.
For HTML work item descriptions, use equivalent HTML formatting: Created by <agent name> <emoji>.

Unknown Systems

For another system that needs attribution, apply the same rule:

Created for new items.
Commented for comments/reviews.
Modified for edits to items not originally created by this agent.
Use bold + italic text if the system supports rich text; otherwise use plain text: <Action> by <agent name> <emoji>.
