Included in configs: ✅ recommended, 🔒 strict

Pull requests labeled as automated (e.g. automation-signal) or AI-generated (e.g. ai slop) indicate contributions that were not meaningfully authored by a human. These contributions are often low-quality, miss project context, and create unnecessary review burden for maintainers.

When a matching label is detected on an open PR, OctoGuide will post a comment explaining the closure and then close the pull request.

Matched Labels

At this time, the following label names are matched case-insensitively:

• automation-signal or automation signal
• ai-slop or ai slop

Default Options

This rule declares its own default options. They take precedence over the top-level include-associations and include-bots inputs:

• include-bots: true

Those defaults are equivalent to the following rule options. Changing a value runs the rule with yours instead:
