feat(git): official Co-authored-by trailer with branded GitHub avatar

Feature Request: Official Co-authored-by trailer for Kimi Code CLI commits

What feature would you like to see?

Add support for automatically appending an official Co-authored-by git trailer to commits created by Kimi Code CLI, backed by a dedicated GitHub account with a verified email and a branded Kimi avatar.

Motivation

I am an active user of multiple AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Amp, and now Kimi Code CLI. One thing I deeply appreciate about Claude Code is that every commit it helps produce carries:

Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

This renders a recognizable avatar on GitHub:

It makes the provenance of every change transparent. When I look at my repositories, I can immediately see which agent contributed to which commit. This is valuable for:

1. Transparency — anyone reviewing my code knows when AI assistance was involved
2. Attribution — giving credit to the tool that actually produced the work
3. Community learning — showing which agents excel at which tasks helps others choose the right tool for their workflow
4. Personal tracking — I can look back and see which model solved a particular problem best

Current state

Kimi Code CLI does not append any Co-authored-by trailer. I have searched extensively and found:

• No official Kimi GitHub user account with a verified email
• No documented co-author convention from Moonshot
• MoonshotAI/Kimi-K2.5#2 — an open question asking for the correct trailer format, with zero response since February 2026
• The MoonshotAI organization itself uses Claude co-authors in the kimi-help-center repo (Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>)

Because there is no official account or email, every commit I make with Kimi Code CLI appears as my own work alone. I would much rather show that Kimi was my collaborator.

Desired behavior

When Kimi Code CLI creates or amends a commit, it should append a standard git trailer:

Co-authored-by: Kimi <noreply@moonshot.ai>

(or whatever email Moonshot chooses to verify on the official account).

To make this work, Moonshot would need to:

1. Create a GitHub user account for Kimi (e.g. github.com/kimi or github.com/kimi-code — currently both are taken by unrelated users, so github.com/kimi-ai or similar could work)
2. Upload a branded Kimi logo as the account avatar
3. Verify the co-author email on that account
4. Document the chosen email so the community knows which trailer to use
5. Add an opt-in config flag in Kimi CLI (e.g. git_coauthor = true in ~/.kimi/config.toml) that appends the trailer to commits

Why this matters for the ecosystem

I am the maintainer of jackin' — a Docker orchestrator for AI coding agents. jackin' currently supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Amp as first-class agents, and we are actively adding Kimi Code CLI (jackin'#333).

One of our design principles is transparent attribution: every agent should leave a clear trail of its contributions. Claude does this beautifully. Codex has the github.com/codex account ready for it. Kimi is the odd one out.

For users like me who run multiple agents in parallel — sometimes Claude handles architecture, Codex handles API design, and Kimi handles implementation — being able to see at a glance which agent did what is not vanity. It is valuable metadata about model capabilities.

Proposed implementation (non-breaking)

# ~/.kimi/config.toml
[git]
co_author = true
# Optional: override the default trailer
co_author_email = "noreply@moonshot.ai"

When co_author = true, Kimi CLI appends the trailer to any commit it creates or amends. Default should be false until Moonshot publishes the official account, then it can become true by default.

Environment

• kimi-cli version: latest (1.43.0)
• OS: all platforms

功能请求：为 Kimi Code CLI 提交添加官方的 Co-authored-by 署名

期望的功能

为 Kimi Code CLI 自动添加官方的 Co-authored-by Git 署名尾部（trailer），并配套一个带有认证邮箱和品牌头像的专属 GitHub 账户。

动机

我是多个 AI 编程代理的活跃用户——Claude Code、Codex CLI、Amp，以及现在的 Kimi Code CLI。我非常欣赏 Claude Code 的一点是，它帮助的每一个提交都会附带：

Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

这在 GitHub 上会显示一个可识别的头像：

Claude avatar

它让每个变更的来源都一目了然。当我查看自己的仓库时，我可以立即看到哪个代理贡献了哪个提交。这对以下方面很有价值：

1. 透明度 — 任何审查我代码的人都知道何时使用了 AI 辅助
2. 署名 — 给予实际产生工作的工具以credit
3. 社区学习 — 展示哪个代理擅长哪种任务，帮助其他人选择正确的工具
4. 个人追踪 — 我可以回顾并查看哪个模型在解决特定问题时表现最好

当前状态

Kimi Code CLI 没有附加任何 Co-authored-by 署名。我已经广泛搜索并发现：

• 没有带有认证邮箱的官方 Kimi GitHub 用户账户
• Moonshot 没有 documented 的合著者惯例
• MoonshotAI/Kimi-K2.5#2 — 一个自 2026 年 2 月以来零回复的开放问题
• MoonshotAI 组织本身在 kimi-help-center 仓库中使用 Claude 的合著者 (Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>)

因为没有官方账户或邮箱，我用 Kimi Code CLI 进行的每一次提交都只显示为我个人的工作。我非常希望能显示 Kimi 是我的协作者。

期望的行为

当 Kimi Code CLI 创建或修改提交时，它应该附加一个标准的 Git 署名：

Co-authored-by: Kimi <noreply@moonshot.ai>

（或 Moonshot 选择在官方账户上验证的任何邮箱）。

为了实现这一点，Moonshot 需要：

1. 为 Kimi 创建一个 GitHub 用户账户（例如 github.com/kimi 或 github.com/kimi-code — 目前两者都被无关用户占用，所以 github.com/kimi-ai 或类似的可以工作）
2. 上传一个品牌化的 Kimi logo 作为账户头像
3. 在该账户上验证合著者邮箱
4. 记录所选择的邮箱，以便社区知道使用哪个署名
5. 在 Kimi CLI 中添加一个可选配置标志（例如 ~/.kimi/config.toml 中的 git_coauthor = true），将署名附加到提交中

为什么这对生态系统很重要

我是 jackin' 的维护者 — 一个用于 AI 编程代理的 Docker 编排器。jackin' 目前将 Claude Code、Codex CLI 和 Amp 作为一等公民支持，我们正在积极添加 Kimi Code CLI (jackin'#333)。

我们的设计原则之一是透明署名：每个代理都应该留下其贡献的清晰痕迹。Claude 在这方面做得非常出色。Codex 已经准备好了 github.com/codex 账户。Kimi 是例外。

对于像我这样并行运行多个代理的用户 — 有时 Claude 处理架构，Codex 处理 API 设计，Kimi 处理实现 — 能够一目了然地看到哪个代理做了什么，这不是虚荣。这是关于模型能力的有价值的元数据。

建议的实现方式（非破坏性）

# ~/.kimi/config.toml
[git]
co_author = true
# 可选：覆盖默认署名
co_author_email = "noreply@moonshot.ai"

当 co_author = true 时，Kimi CLI 将它创建或修改的任何提交的署名附加到末尾。默认值应为 false，直到 Moonshot 发布官方账户，然后可以默认变为 true。

环境

• kimi-cli 版本： 最新 (1.43.0)
• 操作系统： 所有平台

Start with the CLI's existing commit creation and amendment path and the configuration represented by ~/.kimi/config.toml. Resolve the official GitHub account and verified email, then define the opt-in behavior for created and amended commits; done means the trailer convention and configuration are documented and implemented.
