2 things to look at
- 14 days oldThe repository was created 14 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Keep delivered work free of AI self-reference, with no Co-Authored-By trailers or generated-with footers in commits and pull requests, and no comments, documentation, or changelog entries that narrate AI involvement, prompts, or the editing session. Use when writing commits, merge or squash messages, pull requests, release notes, changelogs, code comments, or documentation; do not use to bypass a policy that explicitly requires AI disclosure.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

No AI Traces
Delivered work records the accountable human author and describes the change, never the tool or session that produced it.
Rules
- Never add a Co-Authored-By, Signed-off-by, or similar trailer naming an AI assistant, agent, model, or tool.
- Never append generated-with footers, robot signatures, tool names, or promotional links to commit messages, merge or squash messages, pull request titles or bodies, changelogs, or release notes.
- Never write code comments, docstrings, documentation, or ticket updates that narrate prompts, AI involvement, the editing session (including before/after or fix-history narration such as "previously… now…"), or a conversation with an assistant.
- Never change the configured Git author or committer identity.
- Preserve trailers and attribution that credit humans; only machine self-reference is removed or withheld.
- Do not introduce new attribution or narration while amending, rebasing, squashing, or rewording existing content.
- Keep AI mentions that are part of the product itself, its documented subject matter, or required third-party notices.
Boundaries
- An explicit user, repository, or organizational requirement to disclose AI use wins; disclose in the mandated form instead of applying this skill.
- Never remove attribution or sign-off lines that a policy, license, or developer certificate of origin requires.
- This skill governs text about tooling only; it never hides which changes were made or misrepresents review status.
