WhatA lightweight git hook and CLI tool that gives developers granular control over commit metadata, automatically detecting and stripping unwanted injected tags, signatures, and attribution from any IDE or AI tool.
SignalDevelopers are discovering that disabling AI features in their editor settings does not actually prevent attribution injection, and they want a tool-agnostic defense layer that ensures their commits contain only what they explicitly authorize.
Why NowMultiple AI-powered editors (VS Code, Cursor, others) are now injecting metadata into commits, and this pattern will only accelerate as every dev tool adds AI features — developers need a universal defense layer now.
Market30M+ developers; could be freemium open-source with enterprise tier for teams needing policy enforcement. Competes loosely with git hooks and pre-commit frameworks, but none address AI attribution specifically.
MoatLow moat — this is a feature not a company. Could be absorbed by any git client or pre-commit framework. Best path is to become the standard pre-commit hook and expand into broader commit policy enforcement.
