+## AI-Generated Content
+
+We welcome contributions from non-native English speakers and
+appreciate the effort it takes to write in a foreign language.
+Using AI tools to polish your English is fine.
+
+What we don't accept is AI-generated exercises, AI-generated
+comments, or pull requests produced by coding agents. Ziglings
+exercises require understanding the Zig build system, the
+didactic progression, and the specific conventions of this
+project. That understanding doesn't come from a prompt.
+
+If we suspect a contribution is primarily AI-generated, we will
+close it.
