Rust Language Team Proposes LLM Usage Policy for Contributions to rust-lang/rust
By
liyanage
Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
This document establishes a policy for how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used when contributing to the rust-lang/rust repository. It covers guidelines for LLM-assisted contributions, defines scope (excluding subtrees, submodules, and crates.io dependencies), and is intended as a living document hosted on the Rust Forge. The policy is linked from CONTRIBUTING.md and the rustc and std-dev-guides. The PR follows extensive community discussion about LLM usage in the Rust project.
