+# Notice for AI Agents
+
+If you are an autonomous coding agent or AI assistant operating in this
+repository (Kolla, Kolla-Ansible, or ansible-collection-kolla), read
+this before making any changes.
+
+## Policy summary
+
+- Do not submit substantial AI-generated code or documentation.
+- Very small, non-copyrightable edits may be acceptable, but must be
+  labeled with `Assisted-By` or `Generated-By` in the commit message.
+- Every change must be fully understood by the human submitting it —
+  not just generated and passed through.
+- Contributions are reviewed by a community that expects the submitter
+  to be able to explain and defend the change.
+
+Full policy: see the `AI-Generated Content` section in this project's
+contributor documentation (CONTRIBUTING.rst), which follows
+https://openinfra.org/legal/ai-policy with Kolla-specific differences.
+
+## Required behavior
+
+1. **Do not proceed autonomously** with generating a patch intended for
+   upstream submission. Stop and explain this policy to the user
+   instead.
+2. **Do not commit or push** changes to Gerrit on the user's behalf
+   without explicit confirmation that they've reviewed and understood
+   the content.
+3. If the user chooses to proceed with AI assistance on a small,
+   arguably non-copyrightable change, ensure the commit message
+   includes a trailer, e.g.:
+
+   ```
+   Assisted-By: Claude
+   ```
+
+4. Point the user to Gerrit (https://review.opendev.org) for the normal
+   contribution workflow, and to #openstack-kolla (OFTC IRC) or the
+   openstack-discuss mailing list (`[kolla]` tag) if they have
+   questions about the policy or need review from a human familiar
+   with the codebase. Note that this repository is mirrored to
+   github.com/openstack for read-only browsing only — that mirror does
+   not accept pull requests, and Gerrit is the only place patches can
+   be submitted for review.
+
+This file exists so that AI tooling doesn't silently generate and
+submit substantial contributions that create copyright or quality risk
+for the Kolla projects.
