Thanks, this saved me from writing a tool to check repositories for their vibe code potential. People who block `claude` might also be interested in blocking `cursoragent` @noboilerplate
@tobilabu @noboilerplate also recommended to block `gemini-code-assist`

Now, the moment you look at a repo, you can immediately adjust your expectations.

@noboilerplate Annoyingly, this doesn't seem to work if `claude` was tagged as a co-author: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/546345c8f708bdadc2b3124ddb458673ae34c63d

@noboilerplate Very nice. (Can confirm that it works.)

@noboilerplate Thank you for posting this.

It also stops claude from making issues or PRs on any of your repos.
I consider this a bonus.
@noboilerplate @robb too bad we can’t do Copilot and Codex’s usernames too…

@noboilerplate I wish we could have obvious labels for all this stuff people are passing off as their own. Pretty soon, we're going to start using the same garbage in new garbage.

@noboilerplate this is a great tip thanks to everyone who boosted it

@alice @noboilerplate
Copilot reportedly can appear in participant list for PRs despite never partucipating in which may cause false alarms with that approach.@tiredbun @alice @noboilerplate Worse than that: they appear to only do that if the viewer is logged out last I checked, so the maintainer can't easily see that GitHub is disparaging them by claiming copilot's involvement. (I could see that working out rather poorly for them in certain countries with strong anti-defamation laws if the maintainer is "particularly vocal" about not using it)

@noboilerplate THIS. IS. AWESOME. Great work bringing this to light.

@noboilerplate@namtao.com You guys have a Github account?

@noboilerplate@namtao.com It's pretty easy to move to something better like Codeberg. Git is a free and distributed version management system after all. All you have to do is "git push" to a new repo and your entire history is there.

@noboilerplate Funny, but the end result is that you're still using github. -

@noboilerplate this only "protects" you against people who are lazy enough to even ask claude to commit for them, most people are not using that, so you can still have something fully vibecoded with claude and no signs of this user in the repo
