This project permits the use of AI and LLM tools (coding assistants, code completion, review aids, etc.) in the development of contributions, subject to the following conditions.
There must be a human in the loop. Contributors are fully responsible for all code and text they submit, regardless of how it was produced. Do not submit code you cannot explain, modify, or debug yourself.
AI-assisted contributions must meet the same quality, testing, and review standards as any other contribution. Output must be factually accurate and free of unnecessary verbosity — in code, comments, documentation, and commit messages alike.
Contributors must ensure that AI-assisted output does not introduce material that violates the project's license or third-party intellectual property rights.
When AI tools have materially contributed to a submission (generated functions, suggested algorithms, drafted documentation, etc.), note this in the commit message using:
Assisted-by: Tool Name
Disclosure is not required for incidental use such as IDE autocomplete, general Q&A, or minor editing suggestions.
Contributions should provide more value to the project than the review effort they require. Sending unreviewed LLM output for maintainers to sort through is considered extractive and may be rejected on that basis alone.
