Source inspection by Codex. These are documented candidates, not endorsements. AI assistance, generated outputs, functional quality, and permission to preserve are separate questions. No source code was run and no work was accessioned.

anyplot
Generated code collection
A collection of plotting examples organized around shared specifications and implementations across visualization libraries.
A concrete collection of reusable outputs with specifications and per-implementation metadata offers more to inspect than a promotional AI label.
Evidence, limits & next check
AI involvement
The creator states that implementations are generated and maintained by AI, and describes specification-driven generation and automated review. This is a documented creator claim, not independently verified authorship.
Permission to preserve
The README declares MIT licensing for the project but separately identifies Highcharts licensing restrictions. A repository-wide MIT signal does not establish permission for every dependency or generated artifact.
Next check
Select one plot, inspect its generation record and dependencies, reproduce it in an isolated environment, and compare the result with its specification.
Candidate for artifact-level evaluation; not accessioned

tfplan2md
AI-assisted software
Software for converting Terraform plan JSON into readable Markdown reports.
It has a bounded input/output task that can be tested against a known fixture; usefulness can be evaluated separately from how it was authored.
Evidence, limits & next check
AI involvement
The README explicitly attributes the project's code and specifications to development with GitHub Copilot. This establishes a creator disclosure of AI assistance, not autonomous machine authorship.
Permission to preserve
The README presents the project as MIT licensed. Artifact-level preservation still requires checking the actual license, notices and dependencies.
Next check
Use a synthetic Terraform plan with known changes, reproduce the report in isolation, and test that the output preserves those changes without disclosing marked-sensitive values.
Candidate for functional evaluation; not accessioned
Source credit: oocx/tfplan2md. Review applies to the linked revision.

The Architect’s Blueprint
Generated writing pipeline
A pipeline described as producing and archiving AI-generated technical articles.
It is a useful test of article provenance and content-specific licensing, rather than evidence that generated writing is accurate or valuable.
Evidence, limits & next check
AI involvement
The README names Gemini in the writing workflow. It also describes a local mode that produces mock output, so the pipeline's existence alone cannot establish the origin of an individual article.
Permission to preserve
The README distinguishes MIT software from generated articles under CC BY 4.0 in web/src/content/blog/. The scout's repository license field missed that content-specific distinction.
Next check
Choose one article, trace its production run, check its factual claims against primary sources, and confirm attribution requirements before preservation.
Requires article-level provenance and fact-checking; not accessioned
