## AI Contribution Policy

Contributions made with the assistance of AI tools are welcome, but contributors must use them responsibly.
Contributions made with the assistance of AI tools are welcome, but contributors must use them responsibly and disclose that use clearly.

1. Include related issues or pull requests in the prompt so that the AI has ideal context.
2. Review AI-generated code closely before submitting a pull request.
3. Manually test the changes and add appropriate automated tests where feasible.
4. Only use AI to assist in contributions that you understand well enough to respond to feedback without relying on AI.
5. Indicate AI-generated content in issue and pull requests descriptions and comments. Specify which model was used.
6. Do not use AI to reply to questions about your issue or pull request. The questions are for you, not an AI model.
1. Review AI-generated code closely before marking a pull request ready for review.
2. Manually test the changes and add appropriate automated tests where feasible.
3. Only use AI to assist in contributions that you understand well enough to explain, defend, and revise yourself during review.
4. Disclose AI-assisted content clearly.
5. Do not use AI to reply to questions about your issue or pull request. The questions are for you, not an AI model.
6. AI may be used to help draft issues and pull requests, but contributors remain responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and intent of what they submit.

Maintainers reserve the right to close pull requests and issues that appear to be low-quality AI-generated content. We welcome new contributors, but cannot sustain the effort of supporting contributors who primarily defer to AI rather than engaging substantively with the review process.
Maintainers reserve the right to close pull requests and issues that do not disclose AI assistance, that appear to be low-quality AI-generated content, or where the contributor cannot explain or defend the proposed changes themselves. \

What's the point of \? Just make a new paragraph?

I see it's a forced line break, but unnecessary, so I replaced it with a new paragraph.
