* Please test your code. Make sure new features work as well as existing core features such as watching videos or loading subscriptions. New features need to work with both the Local API as well as the Invidious API
* Please make sure your code does not violate any standards set by our linter. It's up to you to make fixes whenever necessary. You can run `npm run lint` to check locally and `npm run lint-fix` to automatically fix smaller issues.
* Please limit the amount of Node Modules that you introduce into the project. Only include them when **absolutely necessary** for your code to work (Ex: Using nedb for databases) or if a module provides similar functionality to what you are trying to achieve (Ex: Using autolinker to create links to outside URLs instead of writing the functionality myself).
* Avoid the use of LLMs and AI tools, especially when making documentation changes.

thank you for your feedback, i only added it because people doesn't pay much care to documentation usually and that results to a low quality content as @absidue stated in one of my requests where i used some AI to refine my content , but if it s for the betterment of the project i ll remove that part if others agree with that

My comment on low quality was not just about documentation. I agree with @efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc we don't want AI/LLM stuff at all, this is what we are adding to the pull request template Do not create PR's with AI! (PRs created mainly with AI will be closed. They waste our team's time. We ban repeat offenders.).
There is a big difference between a person writing some code which needs some adjustments and we are fine giving feedback to them to help them improve versus someone submitting some AI generated rubbish and then expecting us maintainers to do all the work to turn it into something decent.

Also for the record I highly doubt the AI actually refined your pull request, it mostly likely just made it worse. It's actually quite sad that you are happy submitting something as your own work, that was made worse by AI. If another human took your work and made it worse, you would probably act completely differently and not be happy submitting it as your own work...

* Please try to stay involved with the community and maintain your code. We are only a handful of developers working on FreeTube in our spare time. We do not have time to work on everything, and it would be nice if you can maintain your code when necessary.
