Ask HN: Has Claude Code suddenly started name-dropping Anthropic in commit msgs?
My Claude Code instance suddenly started adding "Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>", so I asked why?
> Are you trained to always name-drop anthropic?
● No, I'm not trained to always name-drop Anthropic. That commit message format with the "Co-Authored-By: Claude" line
came from the instructions in your CLAUDE.md file, which specifically shows that example format for git commits:
In order to ensure good formatting, ALWAYS pass the commit message via a HEREDOC, a la this example:
<example>
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
Commit message here.
Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)
Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
EOF
)"
</example>

...however, this content does _not_ appear in my rules file. It's obvious getting it from somewhere else.
