Covers tag selection, computing-topic fit, self-promotion safety, browser duplicate checks, publication authorization, comment/private-message follow-up, and media ledger updates. |
Lobsters Publisher
Prepare Lobsters submissions that fit the computing-focused community. A
request to submit or a queue item marked 排队 authorizes the final submission;
do not ask again at the last button. Stop only when the task is limited to a
draft or preview.
Inputs
- Source URL, GitHub repo, paper, demo, blog post, or topic.
- Optional tags, title, text, or follow-up plan.
If the source URL is missing, inspect recent docs/blog/posts/, relevant
GitHub repos, and canonical eunomia.dev URLs before asking the user.
Platform Entry Points
Use a browser surface with the logged-in session when UI work is required.
References
Load references/platform-preferences.md when choosing Lobsters fit, tags,
title, source URL, self-promotion safety, browser checks, promotion balance, or
follow-up. Do not load broad strategy drafts for routine submissions unless the
user asks for campaign or content-platform planning.
Browser-Only Platform Boundary
Do not use unofficial submission automation, internal endpoints, or vote-related
actions. All checks and submission prep must come from normal browser
interactions.
Draft Preparation
- Check whether the item is narrowly about computing.
- Prefer the original/canonical source and remove tracking parameters.
- Choose predefined tags that accurately match the story.
- Keep the title factual and unpromotional.
- Disclose affiliation in comments when relevant.
Draft Archive
Before opening the Lobsters submit page or comment box, write or update the
Lobsters draft under draft/media/YYYY-MM-DD/<source-slug>/lobsters.md using
the local date. Include title, URL, tags, duplicate-check state, affiliation
note, and any full paste-ready comment options.
Browser QA
Before stopping for user confirmation, verify:
- title, URL, and tags are correct
- duplicate/recent same-topic searches are clean
- the account is allowed to submit the domain and tags
- tracking parameters are absent
- the final action matches the task: submitted when authorized, untouched for a draft-only task
Follow-Up
After confirmed submission, capture the story URL. Monitor comments and private
messages only when the user asks or follow-up was part of the task. Draft
substantive replies and move durable implementation work to GitHub.
Ledger Update
After confirmed submission, update .github/publisher/media/published.md with
source path or URL, Lobsters URL, date, tags, title, and follow-up notes.
