How to Contribute

We now have two ways to help: add new policies and stress-test the Policy Assistant. Both build a stronger community of practice.

Track 1: Add or Improve Policies

1) Find a policy that is effective, replicable, and evidence-based. 2) Normalize it to our structure (title, summary, type, jurisdiction, date, content, implementation, resources). 3) Open an issue with the source link and your formatted Markdown: Issue Queue.

Suggested AI prompt for formatting

“Convert this policy [INSERT LINK OR TEXT] into a generic model policy. Keep: Title, Summary, Type, Jurisdiction, Date Enacted (if any), Content (generalized), Implementation steps, Resources with source links. Do not invent citations.”

Track 2: Use and Improve the Policy Assistant

The Policy Assistant lives on every policy page (look for the green widget). It helps you craft AI-ready prompts using the page context and your details.

• Try it on a policy page: set your role (Activist or Policy Professional), add your context, generate a prompt, and copy it.
• Share feedback: open an issue or PR with what worked, what was confusing, and any glitches.
• Tell us outcomes: if you use a generated prompt with officials or community members, let us know the response. Real-world feedback helps us tune safeguards and usefulness.

Community Expectations

• No fabricated data or sources.
• Keep accessibility and privacy in mind—no tracking or hidden dependencies.
• Be specific about what you tested (page URL, role selected, inputs) so we can reproduce issues.

Thank you for helping build a resilient, collaborative community.
