 Generative AI can be a useful tool for contributors, but like any tool should be used with critical thinking and good judgement.
 
-We encourage contributors to use AI tools efficiently where they help.

-We struggle when contributors' entire work (code changes, documentation updates, pull request descriptions) are LLM-generated. These drive-by contributions often mean well but miss the mark in terms of contextual relevance, accuracy, and quality. Mass automated contributions like these represent a denial-of-service attack on our human effort.

-**We will close pull requests and issues that appear to be low-effort, AI-generated spam.**
+The following guidelines must be met for Pull Requests that include AI-generated content:
 
-With great tools comes great responsibility.
+* The Pull Request must fill in the repository's pull request template.
+* The Pull Request must identify itself as AI generated, including the name of the agent used.
+* The Pull Request must link to a issue or discussion where a solution has been approved by a maintainer.
+
+The maintainer reserves the right to close PRs without comment if the above are not met. **We will close pull requests and issues that appear to be low-effort, AI-generated spam.**
