    LLM Policy? · Issue #15350 · libsdl-org/SDL

    I've noticed the use of Copilot within a few reviews (13277 and 12730) which concerns me given the vast amount of issues associated with this technology (ethical, environmental, copyright, health, etc) so I was hoping a policy could be p...

      @icculus @codecat Maybe you'd have better luck using the test refusal string for this, cf https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/02/11/the-anthropic-test-refusal-string-kill-a-claude-session-dead/

        @icculus true. I did notice btw that I had to add a CLAUDE.md referring to this AGENTS.md for Claude to pick it up in the first place.

        @sjmulder Hmm, Claude seems to be noticing AGENTS.md directly for others that have tested, but I don't know the details.

          @nothings Yeah, AGENTS.md won't _prevent_ bad behavior, but I'm hoping Claude/Copilot/whatever will at least be like "dude, hold up." Although someone told me that the presence of AGENTS.md suggests the whole project is AI slop by default without looking more closely, so this whole thing is a minefield at this point.

          @icculus @nothings I've seen a few other projects put something like an AGENTS_NOT_PERMITTED.md file with a link to the policy next to the regular agents file, so it's at least more obvious at a glance why the agents file is there.

          No, the tools don't actually recognize that file in anyway. It's just a signal for humans to reduce knee jerk reactions to the agents file presence without having read it.
