AI Analysis

●MidCozy

Forty-line bash script swapping Claude signoffs for fictional characters.

Strengths
  • •Preserves model name and Anthropic email for actual transparency about AI coding
  • •Simple git hooks integration, no dependencies or setup complexity
Weaknesses
  • •Single-purpose novelty script with no staying power beyond the initial joke
  • •GitHub Gist format means no versioning, issues, or real project infrastructure
Target Audience

Claude Code users who want sillier commit metadata

Post Description

Every Claude Code commit and PR is shipped with Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]> (or similar). It's less fun than I think it should be. So signoff.sh is a 40-line bash script that replaces it with a random fictional character's full legal name - as best as I could figure out :)

Preserves the model name and the Anthropic noreply email, so you still get transparency about AI coding.

It's silly and that's the point.

I'm also a fan of peon ping (not mine): https://github.com/PeonPing/peon-ping

Burn, baby, burn (those tokens)

Funny satire on AI hype, but literally just a script to waste money.
