Claude contributions?

[philiprenich]

Hello,

I saw that the Github LLM bot Claude has contributed to the repo. What is the plan/policy for LLM contributions from bots like Claude and Copilot?

AIO is generally seen as a solid, reliable way to run Nextcloud, and definitely some uses of LLMs to contribute code are seen as antithetical to that. The recent backlash at Rsync is a fresh example of that.

It looks like Claude has been minimal/just starting, so I figured getting clarity early would be good :)

Hi @philiprenich

you can find the short reference in the general contribution guideline and the lengthier version it is referring to in the AI policy itself, see

https://github.com/nextcloud/.github/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-assisted-contributions

referring to

https://github.com/nextcloud/.github/blob/master/AI_POLICY.md

Thanks Andy, and good work on writing that up.

Thanks a lot @philiprenich 🙏

Highly appreciate the feedback and also appreciate any future feedback on the matter. For exactly such reasons the policy has a "revisit and update" paragraph to also make it clear the policy is not set in stone indefinitely but shall be revisited given the dynamic of this topic and regularly check if it needs changes.
