+### Added
+
+* **`--ai-only` checks text that is not a commit message** — it runs only the
+  AI rules ([CC013](rules.md#cc013)–[CC016](rules.md#cc016)) on what you pipe
+  in, so a pull request description can be held to the same `ai_attribution`
+  policy as the commits without being judged as a Conventional Commit. See
+  [Checking a pull request description](guides/policies.md#checking-a-pull-request-description).
+  See PR [#673](https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check/pull/673).
+
+* **JSON output names the AI tools it found** — whenever a message is checked,
+  `--format json` adds `ai_tools`, the tools recognised in the message and, for
+  a commit, in its author. It is filled under every `ai_attribution` policy,
+  `ignore` included, so a workflow can label a pull request without failing
+  it. See [Reading the JSON](example.md#reading-the-json).
+  See PR [#673](https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check/pull/673).
+
+* **[CC013](rules.md#cc013)–[CC016](rules.md#cc016) recognise more AI marks** —
+  `Reviewed-by`, `Suggested-by`, `Helped-by`, `Tested-by` and `Reported-by`
+  naming a known tool; the Claude Code notice without the robot emoji, in
+  italics, or as a lone `https://claude.ai/code/session_...` line; Warp's
+  cloud agent `Warp <agent@warp.dev>`; Crush (`💘 Generated with Crush`,
+  `crush@charm.land`); and the run links agents leave in pull request
+  descriptions: Codex task, Devin session, Jules task and Cursor agent links.
+  A person named in a credit trailer, or a sentence that merely mentions a
+  tool, still passes.
+  See PRs [#672](https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check/pull/672) and
+  [#673](https://github.com/commit-check/commit-check/pull/673).

+### Checking a pull request description
+
+Agents leave their mark in the pull request description as often as in the
+commits: `🤖 Generated with Claude Code`, `Link to Devin run: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/...`,
+a Codex task or Cursor agent link. `--ai-only` holds any text to the AI rules
+alone, so the description is not judged as a Conventional Commit:
+
+```console
+$ set -o pipefail   # a failed `gh` must not pass as an empty description
+$ gh pr view 42 --json body -q .body | commit-check --ai-only
+```
+
+Under `ai_attribution = "forbid"` a description with an agent's mark fails
+[CC013](../rules.md#cc013); under `"disclose"` it has to disclose the tool,
+like a commit. Under the default `"ignore"` no rule runs and the check
+passes; `--format json` still lists what it found in `ai_tools`, which is
+enough to label the pull request:
+
+```console
+$ gh pr view 42 --json body -q .body | commit-check --ai-only --format json | jq -c '.ai_tools'
+["Devin"]
+```
+
 ### Asking for disclosure instead
 
 Most projects that allow AI assistance ask to be told about it.
