Git Privacy Skill
MANDATORY: Prevents AI attribution in all git operations by default.
What This Blocks
This skill blocks attribution patterns - indicators that AI authored or generated code:
Co-Authored-By Lines
Co-Authored-By: <any AI model or tool>
Co-authored-by: <any email>
Generated-With Footers
Generated with [Tool Name](https://...)
🤖 Generated with [Tool]
Generated by AI
Tool URL Attribution
claude.com/claude-code
anthropic.com
openai.com
What This Does NOT Block
Legitimate AI-related feature work is allowed:
| Allowed | Why |
|---|
| "feat: Add GPT-4 integration" | Describes a feature |
| "fix: AI inference performance issue" | Describes a bug fix |
| "refactor: Improve ML pipeline" | Describes refactoring |
| "docs: Update AI model configuration" | Describes documentation |
When Applied
- Git commit operations
- Pull request creation (
gh pr create)
- PR title and body content
- Branch naming (if contains attribution patterns)
Default Behavior
Enforced by default. To disable, set in ica.config.json:
{
"git": {
"privacy": false
}
}
Professional Message Standards
Commit messages must:
- Use clear, descriptive subject lines
- Focus on what changed, not how it was created
- Follow conventional commit format when appropriate
- Never include authorship attribution
Self-Check Before Git Operations
Before every commit or PR, verify:
- No
Co-Authored-By: lines present
- No "Generated with" footers
- No AI tool URLs in attribution context
- Message focuses on what changed, not how
Integration
Works with:
- commit-pr skill - Commit and PR formatting
- branch-protection skill - Branch safety rules
- process skill - Development workflow phases
