Thanks for the comment! And I completely agree about a rating like A2b not meaning much the first time you see it. One of the things that goes through my head is a scenario at work where the org doesn't want to use completely vibe-coded apps. With an ACR, the company could set a minimum for each part, like "Oversight b or better" or "no more than 2 for AI Share", and then it would be easy to approve or deny repos based on a quick look at their rating.

The ACR.md file itself has the rating and a quick writeup on how AI was used, but now I'm wondering if setting up something like aicoderating.com/A2b to see that specific rating explained would be helpful.

I actually thought about other ways to differentiate this (eg. colour), but if it's not plain text it will make it hard to use in certain places, and it could also cause accessibility issues.

Show HN: AI Code Rating – a 3-character disclosure of how AI was used in a repo

Hello HN!Have you ever wanted to quickly determine an open source project's AI use? Me too, so I've come up with a spec that I think may help solve the issue. Maybe it'll be useful, or maybe it'll be crap, you decide!AI Code Rating - Three simple characters that tell a reader who maintains a project, how much of its code is written by AI, and how closely a human checks the AI's work.That's it,...

As a Canadian I'm already an enemy to him, so I'm just going to stick with AI.

Very nice! Some more sorting and filtering options would be handy, and some more view options, so each TLD doesn't take up half the screen when it has a lot of applicants.

PS - Your Source link is a 404.

The bad news is that this is pretty common. The good news is that level 3 shouldn't really affect your email deliverability. It's a bad list that email receivers shouldn't be using, but if you end up on level 1 or 2, that's definitely something that could cause you issues.
