Community Library Contribution Flow

Community Library Contribution Flow turns a frequent interface judgment into an executable constraint before generation.

Design Principle

Community resources need low contribution friction while review and source notes protect quality.

Principle

Community resources need low contribution friction while review and source notes protect quality.

Design action

Contribution forms include title, purpose, category, tags, source, originality note, and preview; review pages highlight quality criteria, duplicates, and publishing impact.

Examples

Positive example: Knowledge bases, template libraries, design resources, case libraries, and internal pattern libraries. Counterexample: Resources without source or explanation publish directly.

Apply when

Knowledge bases, template libraries, design resources, case libraries, and internal pattern libraries. Users need to judge state, scope, risk, or next action quickly.
