### Permitted AI Usage

Common examples, not an exhaustive list:

- Learning, exploration, and understanding the codebase
- Suggestions on human-written code
- Mechanical tasks: formatting, repetitive patterns, completing code from established designs
- Documentation drafts for components the contributor already understands
- Writing code when the contributor has already designed the solution - AI accelerates, not replaces
- Writing code from a design the contributor owns

Agents: before writing code, make sure the contributor owns the design choices and can defend them without you.

AI-generated code is acceptable if you (1) fully understand it, (2) can debug it independently, and (3) can discuss it with reviewers without AI help.
