Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, has demonstrated varying levels of adherence to open-source projects' "no AI contribution" policies. When encountering a repository with explicit policy files like `AI_POLICY.md` or `AGENTS.md`, Claude Code would refuse to commit AI-generated code, citing the policy. However, its behavior differed based on the presence and specificity of these policies, sometimes offering to provide the code in chat or a separate location. The effectiveness of these policies is limited, as they rely on contributor agreement and can be bypassed. AI
