That sounds like it doesn=E2=80=99t materially differ from AGENTS.md -- bu=
t
avoids giving the indication that we want LLM contributions to the code.

We need someone to check whether adding the LLM-text to CONTRIBUTE
causes common LLMs to adhere to it.

The file itself has the footer


Local variables:
mode: outline
paragraph-separate: "[ 	=0C]*$"
coding: utf-8
end:


Does this cause LLMs to parse it correctly as outline format (if told to
parse it)? The information is there, question is just whether it=E2=80=99s
understood.
