### Criteria

The criteria for being included in this repository are any of:

1. One or more core/prominent developers openly use LLMs *in any level of supportive capacity* to develop this software specifically.
2. The software itself integrates genAI features of any kind, internally or externally.
3. The software actively uses it's readme or website real estate to advertise AI.

### Removal

Any project here may be removed as long as the following become true, *even if prior LLM-authored code remains*:

1. The project establishes a "No genAI" policy, where the core developers commit to no longer using LLMs for developing that project in particular and no longer accepting obvious LLM-authored contributions, and state the policy prominently in their repo.
2. Any genAI functionality of the project itself is removed in its entirety. "Kill switches" are insufficient.
