• Abstract: As Generative AI (GenAI) disrupts higher education, institutions increasingly require students to declare AI use. However, generic, binary declarations (e.g., "I used GenAI") fail to capture the nuanced application of these tools in different academic tasks. Establishing transparency is key to protecting academic integrity, promoting AI literacy, and shifting the focus from policing to professional practice. In response, this paper contributes a design artefact and an accompanying position: a framework of two task-specific declaration structures, one for writing-focused activities and one for coding assessments, developed for a Computer Science department on the basis of an existing taxonomy of GenAI usage, together with an argument that task-specific disclosure is needed to move beyond binary declarations. By categorising AI usage across specific cognitive and developmental stages, such as structural planning vs. Textual Content Generation, or code improvement vs. code generation, the framework encourages students to reflect on their own learning process and clarifies the boundary between acceptable assistance and academic misconduct. We propose this domain-specific approach as a foundation for fostering more honest assessment in Computer Science and other disciplines, aiming to better prepare students for professional environments where documenting GenAI workflows might be an essential job requirement.
