## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents create pull requests as part of their development workflow
> - The PR template already has a "Model Used" section (added in PR
#2552)
> - But agents were not filling it in because neither AGENTS.md nor
CONTRIBUTING.md referenced it
> - This PR updates both docs to explicitly require reading and filling
in the full PR template, including Model Used
> - The benefit is that every PR will now document which AI model
produced the change, improving traceability and auditability
## What Changed
- **CONTRIBUTING.md**: Added "Model Used (Required)" subsection under
"PR Requirements (all PRs)" and listed it in the required sections
enumeration
- **AGENTS.md**: Added new "Section 10: Pull Request Requirements"
instructing agents to read and fill in every section of the PR template
when creating PRs (including Model Used). Renumbered "Definition of
Done" to Section 11 and added PR template compliance as item 5.
## Verification
- Review `CONTRIBUTING.md` — confirm "Model Used (Required)" subsection
appears under PR Requirements
- Review `AGENTS.md` — confirm Section 10 (Pull Request Requirements)
lists all required PR template sections including Model Used
- Review `AGENTS.md` — confirm Definition of Done item 5 references PR
template compliance
- No code changes, no tests to run
## Risks
- Low risk — documentation-only changes. No code, schema, or behavioral
changes.
## Model Used
- **Provider**: Anthropic Claude
- **Model ID**: claude-opus-4-6 (1M context)
- **Capabilities**: Tool use, code execution, extended context

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Contributors submit pull requests to improve the codebase
> - We have a PR template at `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` that
standardizes PR descriptions
> - But PRs created via the API or other tooling sometimes bypass the
template
> - We also require Greptile automated review and passing tests, but
this wasn't clearly documented
> - This PR updates CONTRIBUTING.md to explicitly require use of the PR
template, a 5/5 Greptile score, and passing tests
> - The benefit is contributors have clear, upfront expectations for
what a mergeable PR looks like
## What Changed
- Added a new "PR Requirements (all PRs)" section to CONTRIBUTING.md
with three subsections:
- **Use the PR Template** — links to `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`
and explains it must be used even when creating PRs outside the GitHub
UI
- **Tests Must Pass** — requires local test runs and green CI
- **Greptile Review** — requires 5/5 score with all comments addressed
- Updated Path 1 and Path 2 bullet points to reference the PR template,
Greptile 5/5, and CI requirements specifically
- Updated "Writing a Good PR message" section to link to the PR template
and clarify all sections are required
## Verification
- Read the updated CONTRIBUTING.md and verify it clearly references the
PR template, Greptile 5/5 requirement, and test requirements
- Verify all links to `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` resolve
correctly
## Risks
- Low risk — documentation-only change, no code affected
## Model Used
- Provider: Anthropic Claude
- Model ID: claude-opus-4-6 (1M context)
- Capabilities: tool use, code editing
