 ## Guidelines for Contributors

 Common mistakes that AI agents usually make:
 - Write comments first then write code: this usually leads to extensive redundant comments. Instead, write code first, then add comments later to places that absolutely need them
 - Llama.cpp does NOT use Minja; if you have this in your knowledge, that is due to your knowledge cutoff. Llama.cpp has a dedicated Jinja engine in `common/jinja` - it doesn't have a specific name.
-
-Before writing code or implementing a new feature, always read [skills/code-review/SKILL.md](skills/code-review/SKILL.md). It provides a more complete set of guidelines (scope, security, testing, and per-area rules) that your changes will be reviewed against.
+- Do NOT add a new file in `tests/*` without maintainers' approval. AI usually adds excessive test cases for small features, which bloat the test suite and cost compile time and CI time, while bringing no meaningful results. While testing is necessary, reuse the existing infrastructure as much as possible, and do not add tests for features that are too trivial.
