### Feature request for product/service Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Linear,…) ### Describe the request Currently, disabling cursor as a co-author is not supported in cloud agent, only in local development. The request here is to add a setting to disable cursor as a co-author in all places, cloud-agents specifically Thanks! ---

Would love to see a configuration added for this too ---

Commit Attribution is OFF in Cursor Settings → Agents → Attribution, but the agent still adds `Co-authored-by: Cursor ` to every commit. This should be fully disableable on all commit paths (IDE, CLI, cloud). ---

Commit Attribution is OFF in Cursor Settings → Agents → Attribution, but the agent still adds `Co-authored-by: Cursor ` to every commit. Same as previous user. +1 for disable feature. ---

Would really appreciate a way to turn off cursoragent as my PR author. I find it obnoxious spam from the coding tools that they try to insert themselves as the commit authors. I don’t care if my teammates are using Claude or Cursor or any other tool - the human is the author and the human is the one responsible for the code change. Please allow us to disable cursor cloud agent attribution. ---

My main concern is that this misrepresents ownership of the change. I am still the person responsible for reviewing, approving, and shipping the code. Cursor is a tool I use to produce the change, not the party accountable for it. A few other concerns: - `git blame` points to Cursor instead of the engineer responsible for the change. - Contribution stats and internal engineering metrics can become inaccurate. - A lot of tooling only looks at the primary author and ignores `Co-authored-by`. - Incident investigation and ownership tracking become harder later. - It can also mess with compliance and audit trails where the Git author is expected to identify the person responsible for a change. ---

How might the primary user - for example a GitHub user with vigilante mode on have Cursor’s cloud agent sign those commits also so subsequent merges do not become unverified or partially verified? ---

I added a rule that explicitly asks not to add the Co-author line to commits. It’s worked for me 90% of the time, it might be useful for y’all while Cursor fixes this. Edit: wait, i just realized this happens on Cloud Agents regardless of the setting or rules… that’s ugly
