| # Distribution And Discovery Checklist |
|
|
| Use this checklist after major updates or releases. The goal is accurate discovery, not hype. |
|
|
| ## Indexing Basics |
|
|
| - Confirm the repository is public. |
| - Confirm GitHub Pages is enabled and points to `docs/` on `main`. |
| - Confirm the Pages homepage is set as the repository website. |
| - Confirm `docs/sitemap.xml` and `docs/robots.txt` are reachable. |
| - Share the GitHub repository URL and Pages URL from public pages that search engines can crawl. |
|
|
| Search engines may still take days or longer to index a new repository. Backlinks and real activity help discovery. |
|
|
| ## Hugging Face Dataset Mirror |
|
|
| The repository is mirrored to the Hugging Face Hub dataset repo [`datasets/cy0307/awesome-loop-engineering`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cy0307/awesome-loop-engineering) for discovery within the AI/ML community. The daily maintenance routine syncs it after each GitHub push. |
|
|
| - The mirror tracks the full GitHub tree (docs, patterns, examples, schema, scripts). |
| - The dataset mirror includes generated resource sheets at `data/resources.csv` and `data/resources.jsonl`, refreshed from the canonical English `README.md` by `scripts/export_resource_dataset.py`. |
| - The HF copy of `README.md` carries a dataset-card YAML header (`license`, `language`, `tags`, `pretty_name`, and `configs`). This header is **HF-only**: it must never be added to the GitHub `README.md`, because the YAML list items break `awesome-lint`. |
| - Sync uses the `hf upload --type dataset` CLI against a staging copy with the header prepended, so the GitHub working tree stays header-free. The token lives in the local Hugging Face cache; no token is committed. |
|
|
| ## GitHub-Native Promotion |
|
|
| Discoverability levers that live on GitHub itself, in priority order. |
|
|
| - **Topic page (`github/explore`).** There is no curated page for the [`loop-engineering` topic](https://github.com/topics/loop-engineering) yet. A page is prepared on the fork branch `ChaoYue0307:add-loop-engineering-topic` (file `topics/loop-engineering/index.md`); open a PR from that branch to `github/explore`. This describes the topic, not this repo specifically, so it promotes the concept and helps the whole ecosystem. |
| - **sindresorhus/awesome submission.** The canonical awesome-list promotion; opens after the 30-day age rule (~2026-07-09). Use [`AWESOME_SUBMISSION.md`](AWESOME_SUBMISSION.md). |
| - **Reciprocal entries on adjacent lists** this repo already cites (harness, context, agent-papers lists). Ready-to-paste entry: |
|
|
| ```md |
| - [Awesome Loop Engineering](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering#readme) - Recurring AI/coding-agent systems above prompt, context, and harness engineering: patterns, contracts, runnable loops, and curated resources. |
| ``` |
|
|
| - **Pin the repository** on your profile, and add it to your profile README (profile-level promotion). |
| - **Custom social preview** (repo Settings, Social preview) so shared links render with the cover image. This is UI-only; it cannot be set through the API. |
| - **Releases** notify watchers and appear on the repo; the latest is the cleanest moment to share. |
|
|
| ## Launch Copy |
|
|
| Use [`posts/launch.md`](../posts/launch.md) when you want a longer article-style launch post. |
|
|
| ### Short Post |
|
|
| ```text |
| Awesome Loop Engineering v0.1.0 is live. |
| |
| Loop Engineering is the layer above prompt, context, and harness engineering: designing recurring AI-agent systems that discover work, delegate to agents, verify results, persist state, decide next actions, and run again. |
| |
| Repo: |
| https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### Longer Post |
|
|
| ```text |
| Awesome Loop Engineering v0.1.0 is live. |
| |
| The repo curates resources and practical patterns for an emerging AI/coding-agent practice: moving from turn-by-turn prompting to recurring systems that prompt, supervise, verify, persist state, and rerun agents. |
| |
| It includes: |
| |
| - curated papers, blogs, docs, tools, benchmarks, and patterns |
| - manifesto, taxonomy, comparison guide, anti-patterns, and sourced signals |
| - loop contract schema with validated examples |
| - pattern library for PR babysitting, CI repair, docs drift, deploy verification, and feedback clustering |
| - community gallery for real-world loop examples |
| |
| Contributions and corrections are welcome: |
| https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Where To Share |
|
|
| - X/Twitter thread with the cover image and canonical definition. |
| - LinkedIn post focused on the prompt/context/harness/loop stack. |
| - Hacker News or Reddit only if framed as a useful field guide, not a launch announcement. |
| - Relevant GitHub issues or discussions where Loop Engineering, coding agents, or agent workflows are already being discussed. |
| - Authors and maintainers cited in the repo, asking for corrections or stronger canonical links. |
| - The repository's own Discussions, using [`DISCUSSIONS.md`](DISCUSSIONS.md) for starter prompts and scope guidance. |
|
|
| ## Outreach Targets |
|
|
| Use [`OUTREACH.md`](OUTREACH.md) for wording. |
|
|
| - Direct Loop Engineering article authors. |
| - Agent runtime maintainers with scheduling, goals, hooks, worktrees, skills, plugins, or subagents. |
| - Benchmark maintainers for long-horizon coding agents. |
| - Builders who can contribute real PR babysitting, CI repair, docs drift, deploy verification, or feedback clustering loops. |
|
|
| ## Awesome List Submission |
|
|
| Use [`AWESOME_SUBMISSION.md`](AWESOME_SUBMISSION.md) for the upstream checklist, timing rule, suggested entry, and PR body. |
|
|
| Before submitting to any awesome list: |
|
|
| 1. Verify all links pass. |
| 1. Confirm the README has a narrow scope and contribution guidelines. |
| 1. Confirm the license is visible and correct. |
| 1. Confirm the repo has a release and working CI. |
| 1. Submit only where the maintainers accept related awesome-list entries. |
|
|
| Candidate places: |
|
|
| - [sindresorhus/awesome](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) |
| - adjacent prompt, context, harness, and agent engineering lists that accept PRs for related resources |
|
|
| ## Accuracy Rules |
|
|
| - Do not claim that Loop Engineering is a finished standard. |
| - Do not imply cited authors endorse this repository unless they explicitly do. |
| - Prefer "early field guide" or "curated map" over "definitive source". |
| - Keep all claims linked to public, inspectable sources. |
