This document provides guidance for AI tools and developers using AI assistance when contributing to spyrmsd.
AI tools helping with spyrmsd development should follow the standard development process.
All contributions must comply with the spyrmsd's licensing requirements:
- All code must be compatible with the MIT license
- Use appropriate SPDX license identifiers
AI agents MUST NOT add Signed-off-by tags. Only humans can legally certify the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). The human submitter is responsible for:
- Reviewing all AI-generated code
- Ensuring compliance with licensing requirements
- Adding their own Signed-off-by tag to certify the DCO
- Taking full responsibility for the contribution
When AI tools contribute to spyrmsd development, proper attribution helps track the evolving role of AI in the development process. Contributions should include an Assisted-by tag in the following format:
Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL1] [TOOL2]
Where AGENT_NAME is the name of the AI tool or framework,
MODEL_VERSION is the specific model version used, and
[TOOL1] [TOOL2] are optional specialized analysis tools used.
Basic development tools (git, gcc, make, editors) should not be listed.
