AI Policy
The maintainers of this project don't want to interact directly with bots. Contributions must come from a human who understands the submitted code or text, can explain it, and is responsible for its quality as if they wrote it themselves. Using AI as a tool to help you write or reason about a contribution is fine; submitting AI output you don't understand, or relaying messages between a maintainer and an AI, is not.
If you wish to include context from an interaction with AI in your comments, it
must be in a quote block (e.g., using >) and disclosed as such. It must be
accompanied by human commentary explaining the relevance and implications of
the context.
If you plan to contribute to termscp using AI tools, you must read, understand and follow this policy.
Disclosure
You must disclose the use of AI tools in your contributions. You must perform this disclosure through the pull request template; filing PRs without using the pull request template is a violation of this policy.
This applies to any AI tool that generated or substantially shaped the content you submit — code, prose or commit messages — including agents, chat assistants and AI-assisted editors. Mechanical editor autocompletion of a few characters does not need to be disclosed; if in doubt, disclose.
Translations
AI is useful when communicating as a non-native English speaker. If you are using AI to edit your comments for this purpose, please take the time to ensure it reflects your own voice and ideas.
Provenance and licensing
You are responsible for the provenance of anything you submit. AI tools can reproduce code or text from their training data verbatim, which may carry a license incompatible with this project. By contributing, you confirm the work is yours to submit under the project's license and does not infringe a third party's rights. The same standard that applies to code you write by hand.
Consequences
Violating this policy may get your contribution rejected and, for repeated or egregious violations, get you blocked from the project without further warning.
Examples
Examples of things that are not allowed:
- Point an agent to a GitHub issue, ask it to solve the issue and open a PR, without understanding the issue, the PR, or testing the solution yourself.
- Copy responses from the AI when replying to questions from maintainers, without understanding the question or the response. In other words, you should not "play telephone" between your AI-generated code, the reviewer, and the AI tool.
