Contributing to AI Practice Commons

Thank you for helping. You don’t need to be technical. Every contribution here is a real pull request on GitHub, on purpose, so you can learn Git while doing something useful.

A full step-by-step first-pull-request tutorial is coming. Until then, this page is the short version.

Good first contributions

Each of these is one small file:

  • Fix something stale. A link that moved, a price that changed, a feature that was renamed.
  • Add a parallel to a concept card. For example, “Gemini Gems are another product that implements this idea”, or “this is like risk planning in project management.”
  • Add a catalogue entry for a learning resource you found useful.
  • Improve a project card: a clearer step, a better check, a better “break it” test.

How to do it, at three levels

  1. In your browser. Open the file on GitHub, click the pencil icon, make your change, and choose Propose changes. GitHub walks you through opening a pull request.
  2. With GitHub Desktop, once you’re comfortable.
  3. With Claude Code, by asking it to make the change, then reviewing what it did.

What reviewers check

  • Your own words. Summaries are written by you, never copied from the source.
  • Rights. Link to third-party material. Only adapt text when its licence allows it.
  • Honest unknowns. If you don’t know the cost, licence or date, write unknown. Don’t guess.
  • Nothing private. No chats, workplace data, personal details or secrets.
  • Use. It helps someone learn or do something.

Every pull request gets a response within two business days. Accepted material becomes public under the repository’s licences (see the README), and you are credited as a contributor.
