Contributing to the Web3 Library

This document outlines the process for adding new entries to SuperBenefit’s web3 library and reviewing existing draft entries.

Overview

The web3 library serves as a curated collection of high-quality external resources that inform our work on decentralized organizations, governance, and social impact. Each library entry follows a consistent format to ensure clarity and usefulness for our community.

How to Contribute

1. Resource Evaluation

Before creating a new library entry, evaluate whether the resource is a good fit using the resource-evaluation prompt.

This evaluation should consider:

  • Alignment with SuperBenefit’s focus areas
  • Uniqueness compared to existing resources
  • Quality and depth of content
  • Actionability and practical value
  • Currency and relevance

2. Creating a New Entry

Once a resource has been approved for inclusion, use the library-entry-creation prompt to create a new entry following our standardized format.

Each entry should include:

  • Complete metadata (title, description, type, source, author, tags)
  • An introductory paragraph
  • Key highlights (5+ bullet points)
  • Practical applications section
  • Connection With SuperBenefit section (2-4 concise bullet points)

3. Review Process

New entries should be:

  1. Created in the /notes/links directory for team review
  2. Reviewed by at least one other team member
  3. Moved to the main /links directory once approved
