It’s not meant for saying “this change was done by Claude” it’s meant to connect commits back to the session. Makes it way easier to jump back into a follow up change between sessions as the agent can reload parts of the context.

Anyone thinking this is about tagging AI generated changes and not just making the experience in Claude better is missing the point of the feature.

I get that. However, given that sessions are local and personal why tag it into the public source tree when it can keep a catalogue within the local session metadata with the exact branch, tags and refs. Sounds like easier less intrusive thing to do.

		Generally just very useful to have it clickable or copyable from the commit is the thing? Along with models being much better and more direct to follow something if it’s there. An agent will always read commits to look at a change, force it to look at commits and check another index just in case it exists is slower and pays more tokens, now you can just grab it. But also mostly because who would actually care about this. It’s a sentence on the end of a git commit, in what way does this annoy people other than their prior feelings about AI tech.
