I appreciate the suggestion but in this case I don't believe the solution to AI problem is using more AI. I personally believe what makes these lists "awesome" is the human element, not some deterministic checks that another agent could run.

IMO it's just like using an anti-spam filter in your email. An AI agent should never decide "Yes, this is awesome" but it surely can decide "No, this is obvious trash". Sometimes the simplest rules are best - "Did they follow the PR template? No? Ok, auto-close with a message saying that AI submissions are not allowed"

You don't need an agent to check if the PR matches the template.

The point is: it’s easier on the humans if submissions not following the template are auto-rejected.

Or do you mean just grep for “TEMPLATE-1.3” and if it’s not there, reject?

The deterministic check could help you filter out the chaff - prevent the human element from getting DOSed.
