AI Usage Policy

[animator]

We welcome the responsible use of AI tools (e.g., code assistants, LLMs, copilots) to improve productivity, learning, and developer experience. However, contributors are fully accountable for all submitted work.

Acceptable Use

• AI tools may be used for ideation, refactoring, debugging, new feature code generation, documentation, and test generation.
• AI can assist in exploring, but must not replace understanding.

Contributor Responsibility

• You must understand the code you submit.
  Do not contribute AI-generated code you cannot explain, maintain, or debug.
• All contributions must meet the same review bar as human-written code.
• You are responsible for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability, regardless of how the code was produced.
• Ensure your contributions comply with our project's license.
• Do not submit AI-generated content that may:
  • Reproduce copyrighted or proprietary code
  • Violate third-party licenses
  • Include text or code with unclear provenance
• When in doubt, rewrite the code in your own words or consult maintainers.
• Review AI-assisted code for:
  • Hidden bugs or incorrect assumptions
  • Security vulnerabilities
  • Inconsistent style or architectural violations
• If a contribution is AI-assisted, mentioning it in the PR description is encouraged, especially for large or complex changes.
• You are prohibited from:
  • Blindly copying AI output without review
  • Using AI to bypass project guidelines, reviews, or contributor responsibilities

AI is a tool, not an author. Use it to move faster—but think, verify, and take ownership of what you ship.
