🚀 Navigating Open Source Contributions in the AI Era 🌐
As burgeoning technologies infiltrate open source projects like Graphite, a growing surge of low-quality Pull Requests (PRs)—often AI-generated—has surfaced. These PRs not only waste maintainers’ valuable time but also hinder genuine contributors.
Key Guidelines for Contributors:
- Acceptable Usage: Use non-agent AI tools to help debug or assist with code snippets under 40 lines. Disclosure is required for AI-generated assistance.
- Unacceptable Usage: AI-sourced, low-quality, or “vibe-coded” PRs can lead to serious repercussions, including a project ban.
- Transparency is Key: Every AI-assisted PR must be accompanied by a thorough, human-written justification for each line. This promotes integrity and accountability within our community.
