Overview

AI-assisted tools are used to enhance developer productivity, assist with code generation, and support tasks such as documentation, refactoring, and troubleshooting. These tools are intended to augment developer workflows, not replace engineering judgment.

All AI-generated output should be reviewed carefully and must adhere to established software engineering standards, security practices, and code review requirements.

Usage Principles

When using AI-assisted development tools:

• Treat AI output as a suggestion, not authoritative code.
• Always perform manual review and testing of generated code.
• Ensure generated solutions follow project architecture and coding standards.
• Avoid sharing sensitive data, credentials, or proprietary information with AI systems unless explicitly approved.

Tools Covered in This Section

The following AI tools are currently approved and documented:

• OpenAI Codex – Primary AI coding agent for development and code reviews
• GitHub Copilot – Performs code reviews for PRs in GitHub

Each page describes the tool’s purpose, recommended usage, and any relevant configuration or workflow guidance.
