📋 Contribution Workflow
For Research Sources
1. Source Identification
# Use our CLI tool to check if a source already exists
npm run search "paper title or key concepts"
2. Quality Assessment
Ensure sources meet our standards:
- Peer-reviewed (preferred) or from reputable institutions
- Relevant to distributed AI, multi-agent systems, or biological intelligence
- Recent (within last 10 years preferred, but seminal older papers welcome)
- Accessible (not behind paywalls when possible)
3. Addition Process
- Fork the repository and create a feature branch
- Add to the appropriate section in
/docs/research/library.md
- Follow the format:markdown
### Paper Title **[Paper Title](URL)** *Journal/Conference* **Abstract:** Brief summary of key findings and relevance to Mnemoverse.
- Update statistics if adding to verified sources
- Test locally to ensure formatting works
- Submit pull request with clear description
For Documentation
1. Planning
- Check existing issues to avoid duplication
- Discuss major changes in GitHub issues first
- Review our writing standards below
2. Writing Process
- Create feature branch with descriptive name
- Write in clear, professional English
- Use standard Markdown with proper frontmatter
- Include relevant citations and links
- Test locally before submitting
3. Review Process
- Self-review for clarity and accuracy
- Check all links work correctly
- Ensure proper formatting and structure
- Submit pull request with detailed description
📖 Writing Standards
Content Guidelines
Language and Tone
- English only - Clear, professional, accessible English
- Academic but approachable - Rigorous but not intimidating
- Evidence-based - Support claims with research citations
- Balanced perspective - Acknowledge limitations and challenges
Structure and Organization
- Clear headings - Use markdown heading hierarchy properly
- Logical flow - Information should build progressively
- Scannable content - Use lists, tables, and formatting effectively
- Consistent formatting - Follow established patterns
Technical Requirements
Frontmatter
Every page must include:
---
title: Clear, Descriptive Title
description: Brief summary of page content for SEO
---
Links and References
- Use descriptive link text - Not "click here" or "read more"
- Internal links - Use relative paths (
/vision/manifesto
) - External links - Open in new tabs when appropriate
- Citations - Include proper academic citations for research
Images and Media
- Store in
/docs/public/
directory - Use absolute paths starting with
/
- Include alt text for accessibility
- Optimize file sizes for web performance
