AI-Declaration.md
The AI-DECLARATION.md specification aims to enhance transparency in AI-generated code. It encourages developers to include a structured declaration file in their repositories to clarify AI usage. This initiative is designed to promote best practices while allowing creators to showcase their skills effectively.
- ▪The AI-DECLARATION.md file uses YAML frontmatter for structured fields and includes a required Notes section.
- ▪It defines various levels of AI involvement, ranging from none to auto, to categorize the extent of AI's role in the development process.
- ▪The specification also allows for the declaration of processes and components to provide granular details on AI's contribution.

This is not to discourage usage of LLM- and other code-generation in the future. On the contrary, it is an enabler.
