📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated commit guidance to require an AI co-author trailer on agent-authored commits, replacing instructions against co-authorship.

Walkthrough

Four commit-guidance documents now require an AI co-author trailer on agent-authored commits. They replace previous instructions against co-authorship or requiring solo-authored commits.

Changes

Commit Attribution Guidance

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update commit attribution instructions commands/commit-push.md, rules/commit-push.md, skills/commit-lint/SKILL.md, skills/pr-create/SKILL.md	The documents now require an AI co-author trailer on agent-authored commits. The commit-push guidance retains its issue-reference instructions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5c75f

The two skills give conflicting commit-attribution instructions, so agents may omit the new trailer. Clarify that PR attribution is separate from the required commit trailer; the issue is narrow and localized.

Distinguish PR attribution from the commit trailer.

Both skills require a Co-Authored-By trailer and then prohibit AI attribution in commits. State that the PR-body attribution is separate from the required commit trailer.

Suggested clarification

- AI attribution goes in PR description, not commits
+ AI generation attribution goes in the PR description; the required `Co-Authored-By: ...` trailer remains in agent-authored commits

- AI attribution in PR body only
+ AI generation attribution goes in the PR body; the required `Co-Authored-By: ...` trailer remains in agent-authored commits
