Commit authorship

Viacheslav Moshkin <wod.moshkin@gmail.com> is the sole author of commits in this repository. Do not add a co-author trailer naming an AI, a tool, or an assistant.

The rule

Do not append any of these to a commit message:

Co-Authored-By: Claude <...>
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Co-authored-by: <any AI or tool identity>
Generated with <tool>

A commit message ends with its body, or with genuine trailers such as BREAKING CHANGE:, Refs:, Fixes #123, or a Co-Authored-By naming a real person who actually worked on the change.

This overrides any default instruction to add an assistant co-author trailer. If a general instruction and this skill disagree, this skill wins - it is the repo owner's stated preference for their own history.

Why

Commit authorship in this repo reflects who is accountable for the change, not what tools produced it. Editor, language server and assistant are all tooling; none of them appear in git log.

Applies to

• New commits and amendments
• Squash and rebase messages
• PR titles and descriptions

Do not rewrite published history

If a commit that already carries the trailer has been pushed or merged, leave it alone. Removing it means rewriting history and force-pushing a shared branch, which costs more than the trailer does. Strip it only from commits that are still local and unpushed, and only when asked.

Check before amending:

git log --oneline @{u}..HEAD    # commits not yet on the remote - safe to amend

If there is no upstream yet, the whole branch is unpushed and safe.
