+# AUTOMATED CONTRIBUTIONS (AI / LLM) POLICY
+
+Please refrain from submitting issues or pull requests that have been generated by an LLM or other fully-automated tools. Any submission that is in violation of this policy will be closed, and the submitter may be blocked from this repository without warning.
+
+If you submit an issue, you need to understand what your issue description is saying. You need to be able to answer questions about your bug report or feature request. Using an AI tool to *proofread* your issue/comment text is acceptable. Using an AI tool to *write* your issue/comment text is unacceptable.
+
+If you submit a pull request, you need to understand what every line of code you've changed does. If you can't explain why your PR is doing something, then do not submit it. Using an AI tool to generate entire lines of code is unacceptable.
+
+The rationale behind this policy is that automated contributions are a waste of the maintainers' time. Humans spend their time and brainpower reviewing every submission. Issues or pull requests generated by automation tools create an imbalance of effort between the submitter and the reviewer. Nobody learns anything when a maintainer reviews code written by an LLM.
+
+Additionally, AI-generated code conflicts with this project's license (Unlicense), since you cannot truly release code into the public domain if you didn't author it yourself.
 
 
 # DEVELOPER INSTRUCTIONS
 
-Most users do not need to build yt-dlp and can [download the builds](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases) or get them via [the other installation methods](README.md#installation).
+Most users do not need to build yt-dlp and can [download the builds](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases), get them via [the other installation methods](README.md#installation) or directly run it using `python -m yt_dlp`.
 
-To run yt-dlp as a developer, you don't need to build anything either. Simply execute
+`yt-dlp` uses [`hatch`](<https://hatch.pypa.io>) as a project management tool.
+You can easily install it using [`pipx`](<https://pipx.pypa.io>) via `pipx install hatch`, or else via `pip` or your package manager of choice. Make sure you are using at least version `1.10.0`, otherwise some functionality might not work as expected.
 
-    python -m yt_dlp
+If you plan on contributing to `yt-dlp`, best practice is to start by running the following command:
 
-To run the test, simply invoke your favorite test runner, or execute a test file directly; any of the following work:
+```shell
+$ hatch run setup
+```
 
-    python -m unittest discover
-    python test/test_download.py
-    nosetests
-    pytest
+The above command will install a `pre-commit` hook so that required checks/fixes (linting, formatting) will run automatically before each commit. If any code needs to be linted or formatted, then the commit will be blocked and the necessary changes will be made; you should review all edits and re-commit the fixed version.
+
+After this you can use `hatch shell` to enable a virtual environment that has `yt-dlp` and its development dependencies installed.
+
+In addition, the following script commands can be used to run simple tasks such as linting or testing (without having to run `hatch shell` first):
+* `hatch fmt`: Automatically fix linter violations and apply required code formatting changes
+    * See `hatch fmt --help` for more info
+* `hatch test`: Run extractor or core tests
+    * See `hatch test --help` for more info
 
 See item 6 of [new extractor tutorial](#adding-support-for-a-new-site) for how to run extractor specific test cases.
 
+While it is strongly recommended to use `hatch` for yt-dlp development, if you are unable to do so, alternatively you can manually create a virtual environment and use the following commands:
+
+```shell
+# To only install development dependencies:
+$ python -m devscripts.install_deps --include-extra dev
+
+# Or, for an editable install plus dev dependencies:
+$ python -m pip install -e ".[default,dev]"
+
+# To setup the pre-commit hook:
+$ pre-commit install
+
+# To be used in place of `hatch test`:
+$ python -m devscripts.run_tests
+
+# To be used in place of `hatch fmt`:
+$ ruff check --fix .
+$ autopep8 --in-place .
+
+# To only check code instead of applying fixes:
+$ ruff check .
+$ autopep8 --diff .
+```
+
 If you want to create a build of yt-dlp yourself, you can follow the instructions [here](README.md#compile).
 
 
 ## Adding new feature or making overarching changes
 
-Before you start writing code for implementing a new feature, open an issue explaining your feature request and atleast one use case. This allows the maintainers to decide whether such a feature is desired for the project in the first place, and will provide an avenue to discuss some implementation details. If you open a pull request for a new feature without discussing with us first, do not be surprised when we ask for large changes to the code, or even reject it outright.

 This section introduces a guide lines for writing idiomatic, robust and future-proof extractor code.
 
-Extractors are very fragile by nature since they depend on the layout of the source data provided by 3rd party media hosters out of your control and this layout tends to change. As an extractor implementer your task is not only to write code that will extract media links and metadata correctly but also to minimize dependency on the source's layout and even to make the code foresee potential future changes and be ready for that. This is important because it will allow the extractor not to break on minor layout changes thus keeping old yt-dlp versions working. Even though this breakage issue may be easily fixed by a new version of yt-dlp, this could take some time, during which the the extractor will remain broken.

  - `id` (media identifier)
- - `title` (media title)
  - `url` (media download URL) or `formats`
 
-The aforementioned metafields are the critical data that the extraction does not make any sense without and if any of them fail to be extracted then the extractor is considered completely broken. While all extractors must return a `title`, they must also allow it's extraction to be non-fatal.

 For pornographic sites, appropriate `age_limit` must also be returned.
 
-The extractor is allowed to return the info dict without url or formats in some special cases if it allows the user to extract usefull information with `--ignore-no-formats-error` - e.g. when the video is a live stream that has not started yet.

 [Any field](yt_dlp/extractor/common.py#219-L426) apart from the aforementioned ones are considered **optional**.

 The `pending-fixes` label is added when there are changes requested to a PR. When the necessary changes are made, the label should be removed. However, despite our best efforts, it may sometimes happen that the maintainer did not see the changes or forgot to remove the label. If your PR is still marked as `pending-fixes` a few days after all requested changes have been made, feel free to ping the maintainer who labeled your issue and ask them to re-review and remove the label.
