Contributing to CodeCodePrism 🤖

Welcome to the first 100% AI-generated open source project!

Thank you for your interest in contributing to CodeCodePrism! This project is unique - it's entirely generated and maintained by AI agents, with no human-written code accepted. But there are many exciting ways to contribute without writing a single line of code!

🚨 Important: No Code Contributions​

We do NOT accept:

  • Pull requests with code changes
  • Human-written code in any form
  • Direct modifications to source files
  • Configuration changes (except documentation)

Why? This project is an experiment in pure AI-driven development. Every bit and byte must come from our AI developer to maintain the integrity of the experiment.
