LLM policy
All repositories and code managed by WST follow a few simple rules of thumb when it comes to AI and the usage of LLMs for contributions.
TL;DR: Please disclose LLM usage in code contributions, if any. We reserve the right to discard PRs which are not properly understood by the person submitting them (so-called “AI slop”).
For more detailed guidance on how we recommend to use AI in our open-source environment, please refer to the following overview:
- You are free and welcome to use LLMs to explore, analyze, answer questions you have about our code, check ideas or suggest improvements.
- When using LLMs to create code, you (the human) still carry full responsibility for the submission you’re making. Specifically:
- You fully understand every single line of changes in your PR.
- You are fully confident that the solution proposed by the AI/LLM is viable. It does not violate best practices, does not hijack undocumented private methods, and it runs smooth and fast.
- You are ready to debate and explain any part or aspect of your code, your design and justify the choices that were made to solve your problem/improve your feature/address the issue.
- Usage of LLMs for actively created code must be disclosed in corresponding PRs. Passive usage, for example understanding the existing code before writing new code by hand, does not need to be disclosed.
- WST reserves the right for this and any other repository to immediately close without discussion any PR which is under strong suspicion of not following the guidelines laid out above. This includes cases where you prompt an LLM very specifically to “cover up” the fact that you used an LLM.
Common Queries
*Unofficial API
If you want to query WCA data via an API, the Unofficial API is the best way to do this. It is not developed or supported by WST, but it makes use of the results export and updates daily, so you can rely on the information it provides.
