@lucasew I’m sorry for the overly hostile responses you’re receiving; obviously you mean well and are trying to contribute positively to the project. Unfortunately AI is quite a sore subject in this community; for instance you could look at this thread for some more recent context. In short, right now it’s simply difficult to have productive discussions about these topics.
My read on it is that right now there is a fairly large and vocal part of the community that feels quite strongly about AI. So I don’t see anything like this making its way into the Nixpkgs repo any time soon. In my personal experience, I’ve found that if you put in the effort to ensure your pull requests are of sufficient quality (which it sounds like you’ve been spending your effort on by developing these agent skills) then you can open these PRs according to the current policy and some of them will be merged. So from the perspective of making the project better, that’s a net positive.
Obviously it’s fairly thankless work, but that’s just how contributing to Nixpkgs is in general (especially for committers like @Sigmanificient who spend a lot of their free time filtering through PRs, including many low-quality ones, some of which come from AI).
