GitHub – QAInsights/Quillx: Quillx is an open standard for disclosing AI involvement in software projects

Code is literature. How much of yours did you actually write?

Quillx is an open standard for disclosing AI involvement in software projects – expressed through the language of authorship. Not a judgment. Just transparency.

Add to your README.md:

[![Quillx](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qainsights/Quillx/main/badges/quillx-2.svg)](https://github.com/qainsights/Quillx)

Or declare it in plain text:

Quillx: 2/5 · Prose – Architecture and logic are mine. AI scaffolded the boilerplate and tests.

Code has style. It has voice. A codebase written with intent reads differently from one that was generated and accepted without scrutiny.

The writing metaphor isn’t decorative. It’s accurate.

Read the full SPEC.md for scoring criteria.

1. Transparency over purity – Not a competition. Honest disclosure.
2. Spectrum over binary – AI use is a gradient, not a switch.
3. Self-declared – Trust the author. The community validates over time.
4. Version your score – Projects evolve. Scores can too.
