Can I use AI or an LLM to contribute to Fluxer?

You can use an LLM privately to learn, research, plan and check your own work, but everything you submit to Fluxer has to be written by you.

Last updated on November 9, 2026

You can use an LLM privately to learn about Fluxer's code, research, plan and check work you wrote yourself, but everything you submit has to be your own work. Fluxer's LLM usage policy sets these rules for everyone who doesn't have write access to the repository.

What can I use an LLM for?

You can use one privately to research, understand the repository, ask about existing code and docs, explore approaches, plan your change and make sense of compiler output, test failures and logs. You can also have it review code or text that you wrote yourself.

What the LLM writes has to stay private. If it suggests something, check it on your own, and then write your change yourself without copying or rewording the suggestion.

What can't I submit?

You can't submit code, tests, docs, commit messages, pull request text, comments or reports that an LLM wrote, rewrote, expanded or completed, and the same goes for images, audio and video. Editing LLM output doesn't make it your own work, and the policy says "Disclosure of LLM use does not make prohibited content acceptable."

These rules date from August 12, 2026. From February 17 to August 12, 2026, the contributing guide let people submit code that an LLM had helped them write, and from March 4, 2026 it also asked them to disclose any LLM use in their contribution.

Can I use AI autocomplete in my editor?

Not for code you submit, because the policy counts model-powered completion as LLM use. Ordinary editor features such as identifier and bracket completion are fine, and so are formatters, linters, compilers and the code generators in the repository.

Can an AI agent open a pull request for me?

No. You can't let an agent create, open, submit or comment on an issue, discussion, security report or pull request for you, and using one to submit content can get you blocked. From June 27 to August 12, 2026, an AGENTS.md file told AI coding agents not to open pull requests or write comments for the people who were using them.

Can I use machine translation?

You can use machine translation for text that you wrote yourself. When you do, say that you used it, check that it didn't add, remove or change anything you said and include your original text with the translation so readers can compare the two.

What if a maintainer thinks I used an LLM?

A maintainer can ask you to explain any part of your submission and close it if you can't. The policy says "Writing style alone is not evidence of a violation", and nobody may publicly accuse or harass a contributor because they suspect LLM use.
