# AI Policy

Using AI as a tool for proposals or review in this project can be acceptable,
provided that such use adheres to the following policy, adds value, and does not
waste the community's time.

A high bar is held for all contributions to this project.

This project requires a human author in the loop who fully understands the
proposal or change.

You should only open a pull request if you:

- could have written the change yourself
- understand the existing context, specification and code, and the effect of the
suggested changes

Pull requests should not be opened or driven by autonomous agents. A human
author must choose the work, understand the proposal or change, and be
responsible for the contribution. For these reasons, do not include agents as
authors or co-authors of your commits.

You must be able to explain the pull request changes in your own words. This
includes the pull request body and responses to questions. Do not copy
responses from an LLM when replying to questions from reviewers.

AI should not be used to generate comments when communicating with maintainers
and other contributors. Comments are expected to be written by humans. Comments
that are believed to be written by AI may be moderated.

If you wish to include context from an interaction with AI in your comments, it
must be disclosed as such and accompanied by human commentary explaining the
relevance and implications of the context.

Pull requests that appear to be in violation of the above can be closed without
notice.

Questions or proposed changes to this policy can be discussed on the [Bitcoin
Development Mailing List](https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev).

This policy was adapted from [Bitcoin Core's AI
Policy](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/AI_POLICY.md).
