+This is *essential*. We will not merge ANY PR that doesn't come with detailed instructions, *including a sample*. We don't want
+"fixes" for theoretical issues that an AI agent found, without context. If you can't reproduce the bug, don't send a PR. 
+
+Creating PRs with AI is very quick, but we still have humans (even if AI assisted) going over each.
+
+Be mindful of reviewers' time.
