Why do we need this?

Since LLM‐based AI tools use Co-authored-by: attribution by default, we think that using a different format will serve as a brown M&M test and assist with triage. A commit that contains such a tool in Co-authored-by: but not Assisted-by: is, by definition, one that did not follow the policy and can be closed, potentially automatically. It also matches the format standardized on by the Linux kernel and Fedora, and will make it easier to review and query for use of these tools.

See: NixOS/nixpkgs#514587

That's something that should be discussed with the team before applied. You can open a Zulip discussion.

Putting it into CLAUDE.md defeats the whole purpose.
