- **You are responsible for your contributions.** It is your responsibility to review, test, and understand everything you submit. Submitting unverified or low-quality machine-generated content creates an unfair review burden on the community and is not an acceptable contribution. Contributors should review and understand their own submissions before asking the community to review their code.
- **Start with small contributions.** Open source communities operate on trust and reputation. Reviewing large contributions is expensive, and AI tools tend to generate large contributions. We encourage new contributors to keep their first contributions small, specifically below 150 additional lines of non-test code insertions, until they build personal expertise and maintainer trust before taking on larger changes.
- **Be transparent about your use of AI.** When a contribution has been significantly generated by an AI tool, we ask you to note this in your pull request description. This transparency helps the community develop best practices and understand the role of these new tools.
