# Attribute AI Commits
Keep the human as Git author and committer. Add the contributing AI agent as a standard
`Co-authored-by:` trailer only when the repository registry maps its email to a real,
provider-controlled GitHub account.
## Resolve the current agent
Determine the agent product that performed the work. Do not substitute the model provider for a
third-party agent client: a Mistral model running inside another coding agent belongs to that
client.
Look up the agent without network access:
```bash
node <skill-dir>/scripts/coauthor-registry.mjs lookup <agent>
```
Interpret the result:
- Exit `0`, `status: verified`: use the registered identity. Do not revalidate it.
- Exit `2`, `status: unavailable`: omit the co-author trailer. Do not search again.
- Exit `3`, `status: missing`: load and follow the `register-ai-agent` skill.
- Exit `1`: treat it as an operational error and omit the trailer.
The pushed registry is the durable memory. Do not create a private cache, Git config entry, expiry,
or periodic verification job for registered agents. The initial registry is an exhaustive baseline
of mainstream repository-capable coding and code-review agents as of its `as_of` date; inspect it
with `coauthor-registry.mjs list`.
## Write the trailer
When a verified agent materially contributed to the commit, append:
```text
<commit subject and optional body>
Co-authored-by: <display name> <verified email>
```
Use the exact token `Co-authored-by:` and keep one blank line
