Using AI-powered tools when contributing to MDAnalysis
======================================================

Open source projects often have different stances on how AI-powered tools (e.g. LLMs like Claude Code and ChatGPT)
can be used in contributions. MDAnalysis has an `AI policy`_ which defines what is permitted in this space. We ask
you to follow this policy, unless the specific sub-project you are contributing to has its own policy in place.
