+## LLM Disclosure
+
+Contributors are required to disclose whether the proposed changes (code or otherwise) were automatically generated
+by an LLM / "AI agent".
+
+The changes must in all cases have been *thoroughly reviewed and understood* by the contributor, who has full responsibility over them.
+
+Please avoid proposing LLM-generated changes as-is without a full review and understanding, as this disrespects
+the reviewers' time and may cause your future contributions to be automatically rejected if reiterated.
+
+Likewise, PR comments and any sort of engagement with other contributors must not be parroting LLMs or chatbots.
+At the reviewers' discretion, PRs suspected to contain low-effort copy-pasting from LLM tools may be closed.
+
+In short, a tacit agreement of mutual respect is expected from all parties involved.
