LLM Usage

Clippy follows the same LLM usage policy as rust-lang/rust. Please read it before using LLM assistance when participating in rust-lang/rust-clippy.

For clarity, this includes any updates to this policy made subsequent to Clippy’s adoption of it; it is our intention to remain aligned with the current policy on an ongoing basis.

When reading the policy in the context of Clippy:

• Read rust-lang/rust as rust-lang/rust-clippy.
• Read the ratifying teams as the Clippy team.
• Read “diagnostics” as generally encompassing Clippy’s user-facing output.
• Ignore parts that do not apply to Clippy, such as those specific to the compiler or the language.
• The Clippy team will over time more precisely define what we mean by “critical” areas. We expect to adopt whatever tooling rust-lang/rust adopts to specify this more precisely.
• When in doubt, the Clippy team will provide any and all Clippy-specific interpretations of the policy, until the policy itself is updated to include Clippy.
