01 / Pointing at the source of truth

Apply one contributor contract to human and assisted work

The file requires reading CONTRIBUTING.md before analysis or changes. It explicitly applies the same development, testing, pull-request, and changeset requirements to AI-assisted work.

3Before analyzing or changing this repository, read and follow4[`CONTRIBUTING.md`](./CONTRIBUTING.md). Its contribution, development, testing,5pull request, and changeset requirements apply to AI-assisted work as well as6human-authored work.

02 / Behavioral framing

Pair narrow scope with responsibility for generated code

The final paragraph combines a one-topic change boundary with understanding and verifying generated code. It also directs the pull request description to the existing template.

8Keep every change focused on one topic. Understand and verify all generated9code, run the required checks, and provide a concise pull request description10that follows the repository template.

Ideas for your repo

Apply shared contribution requirements to AI-assisted changes explicitly.
