 We are human, so please write in natural language in your issues, discussions, and PR descriptions. 
 Don't be a meatproxy. We will ban people who repeatedly violate this rule from further communication on our repositories. 
 
+### Before you contribute, ask yourself what value you add
+
+We much prefer reading your thoughts on features or issues you encountered than reading through hundreds of lines of code changes produced by your agent. 
+Consider that the maintainers of this project have the same access to LLMs and more knowledge about the project itself. 
+Prompting a feature into existence without further consideration or discussion is mostly a burden for maintainers. 
+If we want to, we can burn the tokens ourselves.

 ### Only work on approved issues
 
 To respect your time and help us manage contributions effectively, please open an issue or start a discussion and wait for approval before submitting a pull request (PR). This does not apply to tiny fixes or changes however, please keep in mind that we might not merge PRs for various reasons.
