########## CONTRIBUTING.md: ########## @@ -119,6 +119,16 @@ Tips: * Keep in mind that the Git commit subject and message is going to be read by other people, potentially even after years. The Git commit subject and message will appear "as is" in release notes. * Make sure the subject and message are properly formatted and contains a concise description of the changes in way that someone who has no prior knowledge can understand the rationale of the change and the change itself. Remove information that's of no use for someone reading the Git commit log, for example single intermediate commit messages like `formatting` or `fix test`. +#### Guidelines for AI-assisted Contributions + +Contributors may use a variety of tools when preparing changes to Polaris, including AI systems (e.g., large language models or code assistants). Contributors using such systems are expected to adhere to the following principles: + +* Regardless of how a change is produced, the individual submitting the pull request is considered the author of the contribution and is fully responsible for it. +* The pull request author **must understand the implementation end-to-end** and be able to **explain and justify the design and code** during review. +* Tools, including AI systems, **are not** considered contributors. **Responsibility and authorship remain with the human** submitting the change. +* Contributors are encouraged to **disclose** significant AI assistance in the pull request description for transparency. Review Comment: Love your discussions ❤️! I think there are two different topics here. For this PR, I’d prefer to keep the scope narrow and human-facing: the submitting human remains accountable, must understand the change, and AI tools are not contributors. Questions like reviewer burden, generated-code header treatment, or contributions from AI-controlled GitHub accounts feel real, but broader. My bias is that those belong in a separate discussion rather than in this `CONTRIBUTING.md` update. So I’d prefer to keep this PR focused on human contributor accountability and spin the broader agent/harness questions out separately.
