- Comment on a closed PR
- Reasoning: It is much easier for maintainers to not lose track of things if they are posted as issues. If you think there's a bug in typescript-eslint, the right way to ask is to [file a new issue](https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/issues/new/choose). The issue templates include helpful & necessary practices such as making sure you're on the latest version of all our packages. You can provide the link to the relevant PR to add more context.

:::warning Contribution standards in the era of AI

We reserve the right to close PRs and issues that we deem to be poor quality and/or which we deem will take an undue amount of maintainer effort to make progress on.

With the rise of AI-assisted coding tools, it has become trivial to generate large amounts of low-quality contributions, for PRs and issues.
Parsing, reviewing, and iterating on these in good faith takes up much more maintainer bandwidth than traditional contributions, taking away bandwidth from other opportunities to advance typescript-eslint.

While we cannot and will not attempt to ban contributions which make use of AI, we ask that you use AI responsibly:

- Always review AI-generated content closely before submitting a PR
- Only use AI to assist in contributions that you would understand well enough to champion and respond to feedback on without making use of AI
- Do not ignore our issue and PR templates

Possible addition (or some variation of)

Avoid AI generated PR descriptions as they are usually just a verbatim summary of the code.

We require that you summarise your PR changes yourself in your own words. If you cannot summarise your change then you do not understand your change and should not be raising the PR.

Incorporated this

- Especially avoid AI-generated PR descriptions.
These tend to just be nearly-verbatim descriptions of the code diff, which add no value to the PR.
Instead, we ask that you summarize the PR succinctly in your own words, relying on your own understanding of the code.

Don't let this dissuade you from contributing to typescript-eslint!
We very much welcome new contributors and are happy to help them improve.
We just are not happy to spend our time working with a contributor who primarily defers to an AI coding assistant; at that point it'd be a better use of our time to prompt the LLM ourselves.
