Why did you remove AI agent configurations and instructions from the repo? See .gitignore

Fair point - I should be more transparent. Yes, Claude assisted significantly with development. The .gitignore excludes AI config files because they where not needed in the project and aren't useful to others. I'll add a note to the README about AI-assisted development. The code is reviewed and understood, not blindly accepted.

Could you estimate how much was written by AI vs you? Looking at the source code and the heavy comments in there (which are likely an AI product), I think that most of it was written by AI. Same with the whole docs directory.

google says that assisting means:

assist /əˈsɪst/ help (someone), typically by doing a share of the work.

So in this case... wouldn't the relationship be inverted, e.g. you assisting AI? (semi joking ;))

Thanks for your reply. Mine wasn't a critique but a genuine curiosity. I was interested to see what where the base instructions used for a rust project.

I would disagree with this. Since it's an open-source project it would be beneficial to everyone, especially to future contributors, to agree in good code practices and conventions when using LLMs. I would say they're really useful.

It's vibe coded. The entire project is only 10 commits, a few of them are giant with a bunch of markdown files full of emojis in the docs/ folder.

Good catch. For me its a red flag when the dev does not disclose AI usage
