If you are using any kind of AI assistance while contributing to Ghostty,
**this must be disclosed in the pull request**, along with the extent to
which AI assistance was used (e.g. docs only vs. code generation).
**We currently restrict AI assistance to code changes only.**
**Note that AI _assistance_ does not equal AI _generation_**. We require
a significant amount of human accountability, involvement and interaction
even within AI-assisted contributions. Contributors are required to be able
to understand the AI-assisted output, and be able to reason with it and
answer critical questions about it. Should a PR see no visible human
accountability and involvement, or it is so broken that it requires significant
rework to be acceptable, **we reserve the right to close it without hesitation**.
**In addition, we currently restrict AI assistance to code changes only.**
No AI-generated media, e.g. artwork, icons, videos and other assets is
allowed, as it goes against the methodology and ethos behind Ghostty.

When using AI assistance, we expect a fairly high level of accountability
and responsibility from contributors, and expect them to understand the code
that is produced and be able to answer critical questions about it. It
isn't a maintainers job to review a PR so broken that it requires
significant rework to be acceptable, and we **reserve the right to close
these PRs without hesitation**.
Please be respectful to maintainers and disclose AI assistance.
