This won't stop people from copy-pasting LLM slop, but it will hopefully at least stop agents from opening PRs, leaving comments, etc... on their own, without any human in the loop.

Going to see what happens if I try to ask copilot to review this PR

Okay well I guess this won't stop copilot if someone clicks the button, but still will hopefully stop agents from opening PRs, etc... without a human in the loop.

Thanks! Hopefully this helps a bit...

Maybe add something about not writing commit messages, either? There's otherwise a loophole here: agent is asked to commit locally, does so with an overly verbose message; then human does the GitHub pull request flow, but the default if there is only one commit is to use that commit's message as the PR description.

Good idea!
Probably also add a
.claude/CLAUDE.mdfile, since Claude doesn't use either of the existing ones. That should work if it contains the text@../AGENTS.md.

Might make sense to talk about coding agents more generally: Copilot isn't the only bot that can do these things, after all

Wasmtime GitHub notifications bot (May 29 2026 at 17:23)::speech_balloon: fitzgen created PR review comment:
I decided not to include something about this because commits are fundamentally a local operation, and there is nothing in our policy that prevents having an agent make multiple commits for you locally (which require some kind of commit message) and then having the human review+fixup+rewrite commit messages before making one or more pull requests. If we disallowed agents from writing commit messages completely (and they actually obeyed that) then that workflow would be impossible.
I view this as falling into the same bucket as copy-pasting LLM text: we can't stop humans from opening PRs with AI slop commit messages the same way we can't stop them from copy-pasting AI slop into the comment box. But we can try to stop agents from autonomously leaving comments on issues or making pull requests that contain AI slop commit messages without a human in the loop.

I tried to explicitly call out copilot to stop the copilot reviews triggered via github UI, but that didn't work, so I'm just removing that weirdly specific sentence and keeping the more general bits.
