AI Coding Assistants

This document provides guidance for AI tools and developers using AI assistance when contributing to MijnBureau.

All contributions must comply with the MijnBureau licensing requirements:

  • All code must be compatible with EUPL v1.2
  • Use appropriate SPDX license identifiers

Signed-off-by and Developer Certificate of Origin​

AI agents MUST NOT add Signed-off-by tags. Only humans can legally certify the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO). The human submitter is responsible for:

  • Reviewing all AI-generated code
  • Ensuring compliance with licensing requirements
  • Adding their own Signed-off-by tag to certify the DCO
  • Taking full responsibility for the contribution

Attribution​

When AI tools contribute to MijnBureau development, proper attribution helps track the evolving role of AI in the development process. Contributions should include an Assisted-by tag in the following format:

Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION [TOOL1] [TOOL2]

Where:

  • AGENT_NAME is the name of the AI tool or framework
  • MODEL_VERSION is the specific model version used
  • [TOOL1] [TOOL2] are optional specialized analysis tools used (e.g., coccinelle, sparse, smatch, clang-tidy)

Basic development tools (git, gcc, make, editors) should not be listed.

Example:
