The file

We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Commit with the repository owner's configured Git identity only.

    line 7
  2. Distinctive:

    Never add Claude, Anthropic, Cursor, or any other AI tool as a commit author or co-author.

    line 8
  3. Very specific:

    Never add AI Co-Authored-By trailers to commit messages, and no "Generated with" AI attribution lines in commits or pull request …

    line 9
  4. Very specific:

    Never change git config user.name or user.email automatically.

    line 10

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.
