+## AI Contributions in Spec Kit
+
+We leverage AI and AI agents for help with this project and value contributions that also use AI to detect issues and improve Spec Kit.
+
+However, to help the team focus on important issues and features, we will close issues and PRs that are **low-effort AI-generated changes**. This includes changes or reports that have not been tested, clearly had no human input, and that aren't aligned with the overall project.
+
+If you are submitting an AI generated issue or pull request, please include **concrete test cases**, **scenarios**, and an outline of the **end-to-end developer experience** with your suggested change that were **written by you**. If someone can easily spot that a contribution is entirely AI-generated without your input, you have more work to do.
+
+In practice, this means that you need to understand the changes that you're requesting and be able to explain why the change is necessary within the Spec Kit scope.

+If you are identified as submitting a large number of AI-generated changes that fall in the category above, the team might, at their discretion, block your account from further contributing to Spec Kit.
