# Bot Activity

We generally try to filter out bot activity as this does not represent actual collaboration or work by team members. PRs authored by bots includes:

* PRs authored by a user that GitHub deems is of type `"Bot"`
* PRs authored by a user of type `"User"` with the string `-bot`, `[bot]` , or `dependabot` in the name (case sensitive). E.g., `bertie-bot` and `bertie-bott` would be considered bots, but `hannah-abbott` wouldn’t.
* PRs authored by a user of type `"User"` with a name that exactly matches one in our specified list. This list includes common GitHub bots who come through with a type of `"User"`, like `netlify`, `linear-app`, `renovate`, `renovate-approve`, and `github-actions`.
* PRs with `[snyk]` in the title (case insensitive).
