AnkiDroid AI Tool Use Policy

We expect that contributors will provide a net benefit to AnkiDroid over time, in return we offer mentorship and guidance.

AI generated contributions are nullifying our mentorship efforts by consuming guidance meant for humans and shifting the responsibility of ensuring correctness onto our code reviewers.

This policy aims to:

  • Ensure contributors can contribute without AI assistance.
  • Provide reviewers with a framework to block contributions which do not benefit AnkiDroid.
  • Ensure mentors are mentoring people, not AI output.

New Contributors

Before you have 3 merged pull requests, you may not use any AI tools to produce contributions for AnkiDroid. This includes code, documentation, and GitHub comments (including spelling and grammar corrections).

If a reviewer suspects that any part of a contribution is produced with AI tools, a warning will be issued. Pull requests may be closed at the reviewer's discretion.

You may be banned from the repository if this occurs a second time.

Contributors

  • You must be able to explain all your contributions.
  • AI tools should not be used to produce GitHub comments, including filling in the pull request template.
  • Contributions that make nontrivial use of AI tools must be labelled, with the tool version.

Handling Questions about AI Use

If you are not sure whether a tool or workflow counts as AI usage under this policy, please ask before using it. Ask your question in a public #ankidroid-dev so that the answer helps everyone. Direct messages to mentors/reviewers about AI usage may not get a reply.

If a reviewer raises concerns about AI usage in your contribution, reply clearly and honestly with facts. Please do not argue about the policy in PRs. Repeated arguments, hiding AI usage, or trying to bypass this policy may lead to moderator action.
