+# LLM Policy
+
+We recognize that today LLMs have become a widely accepted set of tools to support software developers
+in their day-to-day work.
+
+Our policy in regards to LLM generated contributions to Gardenlinux is now as follows:
+
+Contributors are free to use whatever tools they wish to craft their contributions, **as long
+as a human is responsible for both the initial creation of a contribution (the prompting) as well as reviewing
+the output of their tool.**
+
+The contributor will always be seen as the author of their contribution and are thereby always
+responsible for the entirety of their contribution. Contributors must be sufficiently confident that the
+contribution is compliant to all formal requirements and best practices to be able to contribute to
+Gardenlinux; and that this contribution is inherently worth bringing into the project.
+
+## Transparency Requirements
+
+Contributors **must be transparent and label contributions that contain any amount of LLM-generated content.**
+
+This label must be present in the commit message as a message footer and must specify the exact tool name and model version.
+
+:::details Example
+```
+Author: YourName <your@mail.com>
+Date:    Wed Jul 22 15:53:00 2026 +0200
+
+    Feat: Some New Feature
+
+    Signed-off-by: YourName <your@mail.com>
+    Assisted-by: Mistral Small 4 (mistral-ai/mistral-small-4)
+```
+
+If multiple tools are used, multiple Assisted-by blocks are necessary.
+:::
+
+For issues, discussions or any other kind of community post, an alternative suitable label can be applied.
+
+::: details Example
+
+In issues, you can add a `[AI-assisted]` tag into an issue description.
+
+In comments, posts or emails to a maintainer, please specify whether your findings were created with the help
+of AI, and to which extent.
+
+```
+I used Mistral Small 4 (mistral-ai/mistral-small-4) to help answer this question.
+```
+
+:::
+
+This transparency helps us understand the role of these tools.
+
+this policy includes, buit is not limited to, these types of contributions:

+- Design Proposals or Discussions
+- Issues or Security Vulnerability Reports

+- Documentation
+
+## Enforcement
+
+We reserve the right to reject or revert any contribution - in any form - which is found to violate this policy.
