+# AI-assisted Contributions
+
+AI tools may be used, but the author is still responsible for the contribution.
+
+If AI tools were used to write, edit, review, or explain code, disclose that in the pull request or issue. The author must understand the submitted code well enough to explain it, justify it, and make requested changes without blindly resubmitting tool output.
+
+AI use does not relax Wiremod's style, cleanliness, or review requirements. Low-quality submissions are low-quality submissions regardless of how they were made.
+
+Maintainers are not LLM output auditors. Breaking these rules, or giving maintainers reason to believe they are being broken, may result in a repository ban.
