33+ Automated Contributions Policy
34+ ------------------------------
35+
36+ Contributing to networkx requires human judgment, contextual understanding, and
37+ familiarity with networkx's structure and goals. It is not suitable for
38+ automatic processing by AI tools.
39+
40+ Please refrain from submitting issues or pull requests generated by
41+ fully-automated tools. Maintainers reserve the right, at their sole discretion,
42+ to close such submissions and to block any account responsible for them.
43+
44+ Review all code or documentation changes made by AI tools and
45+ make sure you understand all changes and can explain them on request, before
46+ submitting them under your name. Do not submit any AI-generated code that you haven't
47+ personally reviewed, understood and tested, as this wastes maintainers' time.
48+
49+ Please do not paste AI generated text in the description of issues, PRs or in comments
50+ as this makes it harder for reviewers to assess your contribution. We are happy for it
51+ to be used to improve grammar or if you are not a native English speaker.
52+
53+ If you used AI tools, please state so in your PR description.
54+
55+ PRs that appear to violate this policy will be closed without review.
