Community Building

Use this skill when a user wants to gather early users, practitioners, creators, operators, partners, or customers into a community or recurring event.

What To Clarify First

• Community type: users, customers, practitioners, creators, partners, developers, or internal champions
• Why members would join
• What members can share or show off
• What asset the community should leave behind
• Platform: WeChat, Discord, Feishu, Slack, newsletter, offline events, or cohort workspace
• Growth target and quality constraints

Workflow

1. Define the member job

   • What problem does the community solve that content or product alone does not?
   • What makes members feel they belong?

2. Find the atomic unit of sharing

   • Template, workflow, result, demo, case, screenshot, prompt, checklist, or lesson.
   • The community should make this easier to create and share.

3. Start small

   • Identify the first 20 likely members.
   • Prefer people already showing intent over broad cold acquisition.

4. Design the first ritual

   • Office hours, teardown, workshop, demo day, resource exchange, weekly prompt, or case review.
   • Define what gets captured after each ritual.

5. Protect quality

   • Set joining criteria.
   • Avoid scaling before people know what to do inside the community.

Output Format

Return:

• Community thesis
• Target members
• Member promise
• First 20 member sources
• First ritual
• Sharing asset
• Operating cadence
• Quality risks and guardrails

Quality Bar

The plan should make the first two weeks obvious. Avoid vague “build engagement” advice; name the member action and the asset it leaves behind.
