# AI covenant

`AI_COVENANT.md` says that a contributor owns everything they submit, however a tool helped. Its note for this project adds three rules:[^ai_covenant.md]

- every class, slot and enum renders a part of the ATT&CK Data Model or a property of the pinned data, in the project's own words;
- the objects under `tests/data/attack-stix-data/` are upstream text, never edited to make a test pass;
- the namespace is this project's, with ATT&CK's identifiers only as values.

AI systems must not post comments in issues or discussions. The scheduled librarian commits as a labelled bot, proposes every change as a pull request a person approves, and runs without write credentials.
