Owning What the Machine Writes

OpenVoiceOS contributor JarbasAI describes six months in which coding agents wrote most of the code landing in the volunteer voice-assistant project and sets out the rules that came with it: contributors must read, understand, and stand behind what they submit, automated pull requests submitted without a person doing so are closed, and every contribution records which system assisted, how much, and what the human did. The post credits agents with clearing a documentation backlog that volunteers never got to, replaying every step-by-step guide in a clean environment, and covering language and frontend gaps a small team cannot, and it aligns the project's practices with the provenance and disclosure terms that grant funder NLnet adopted for its grantees.
