+## AI-Assisted Pull Requests
+
+AI-assisted pull requests are welcome, provided that you:
+
+- Note in the PR description if the changes were largely written by AI.
+- Name the AI tool and model that produced them (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor,
+  Codex, ChatGPT).
+- Understand the changes — be ready to discuss any line.
+- Write the PR description and reply to reviewers in your own voice. Do not
+  paste AI-generated text into review threads.
+- Read through the diff yourself before opening the PR.
+- Run a code-review pass with your AI tool (e.g., `/review` in Claude Code
+  or Codex CLI) before submitting.
+- Follow the conventions in [`CODING_STYLE.md`](CODING_STYLE.md) and the
+  test rules in [`TESTING.md`](TESTING.md).
