+## AI usage
+<!-- REQUIRED -->
+<!--
+State explicitly whether you didn't use or used AI & how.
+
+If you used it, ensure that the PR is aligned with [Using AI](https://learningequality.org/contributing-to-our-open-code-base/#using-generative-ai as well) as well as our DEEP framework. DEEP asks you:
+
+  Disclose - Be open about when you've used AI for support.
+  Engage critically - Question what is generated. Review code for correctness and unnecessary complexity.
+  Edit - Review and refine AI output. Remove unnecessary code and verify it still works after your edits.
+  Process sharing - Explain how you used the AI so others can learn.
+
+Examples of good disclosures:
+
+  "I used Claude Code to implement the component, prompting it to follow
+  the pattern in ComponentX. I reviewed the generated code, removed
+  unnecessary error handling, and verified the tests pass."
+
+  "I brainstormed the approach with Gemini, then had it write failing
+  tests for the feature. After reviewing the tests, I used Claude Code
+  to generate the implementation. I refactored the output to reduce
+  verbosity and ran the full test suite."
