| We allow using AI (i.e., LLMs) as tools for contributing to rust-analyzer. |
| However, you remain responsible for any code you publish and we are responsible for any code we merge and release. |
| We hold a high bar for all contributions to our projects. |
| |
| **AI should not be used to generate comments when communicating with maintainers**. |
| We expect comments on our projects to be written by humans. |
| We may hide any comments that we believe are AI generated. |
| |
| If you are opening an issue, we expect you to describe the problem in your own words. |
| |
| If you are opening a pull request, we expect you to be able to explain the proposed changes in your own words. This includes the pull request body and responses to questions. |
| **Do not copy responses from the AI when replying to questions from maintainers.** |
| |
| Due to the foundational nature of our projects, we require a human in the loop who understands the work produced by AI. |
| **We do not allow autonomous agents to be used to open pull requests or issues to our projects**. |
| We will close any pull requests that we believe were created autonomously. |
| |
| 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. |
| Do not share long snippets. |
| |
| We understand that 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. |
| If using AI for translation, we recommend writing in your native language and including the AI translation in a quote block. |
