AI Assistance

Quests itself can be used for vibe coding, but the project is not vibe coded.

If you use any AI assistance while contributing, this must be disclosed in your pull request along with the extent of usage (e.g., "code generation" vs "documentation only").

We welcome high-quality contributions.

• No messy or unfinished code
• Use conventional commit messages (e.g. feat: add new feature)
• Run pnpm check-and-test to validate your changes
