Never add Cursor as a co-author in git commits.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# No Cursor Co-Author in Commits When creating git commits, NEVER add a `Co-authored-by` trailer for Cursor, Cursor Agent, or any AI assistant. Commits must only attribute human authors. Do not append lines like: ``` Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursor@cursor.com> Co-authored-by: cursor[bot] <...> ``` Keep commit messages clean with only the summary and description. No AI attribution trailers.
Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add cisco-ai-defense/skill-scanner/.cursor/rules/no-cursor-co-author.mdc@sha256:e315c90d280457dcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260219.24940f5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
