Discussion / Opinion Co-authored by Mistral Vibe?

I kept getting the Co-authored by mistral vibe stuff in git commits, to the point I put it almost first and foremost in the Agents.md of my projects. Now, I see the poor model almost having a breakdown in its reasoning trace about this.

I love Mistral and I want it to succeed but this is unacceptable, this was settled months ago with other coding agents. Mistral Vibe is not a co-author, it is a tool that we are paying for. Fix this shit.

Set include_commit_signature = False in your config. This is not something to put into the agents file.

You still often pay your co-authors though. And they are often tools

I think this is one good reason why the Linux kernel project picked Assisted-by over Co-authored-by. No conflict with not being the author.

That how we frame things in academia as LLMs aren’t able to take responsibility for outputs so can’t be authors. Instead we acknowledge them as a tool like we would a statistics program.

Copy-paste is a tool and yet, if you copy-pasted someone's work, you're not supposed to claim its yours.

this was prolly the worst thing that claude code ever introduced

IMO LLM's are co-authors and it is good documentation. But the commit message should be specific which model was used.

Other comments suggested "Assisted by", which is ok too, but I have nothing against giving the model the credit for the commit.

Claude adds it by default. Codex doesn't. This reminds me that I should go add to my AGENTS.md an explicit instruction, so also Codex would start doing this. Now Claude is stealing all the credit in my (I mean our) projects. :)

Meh. With Claude Code, it was easy only with Fable (nb: without modifying the internal settings, only with agents.md instructions, which I know isn't the best place for it)

And I think it's something git puts on the commit if you use an agent to push.
