Contributor Writing Guide

Use this short path before submitting an article.

1. Confirm the topic belongs in the Knowledge Map and open an issue for a substantial new article.
2. Copy the article template, keep every required section, and explain the decision and trade-offs rather than writing a tutorial.
3. Add matching metadata to the domain graph.json; then run python scripts/validate-frontmatter.py and python scripts/validate-links.py from the repository root.
4. Cite authoritative sources, use US English, and check the article-quality checklist before opening a PR.
