1	# Community Builder
2
3	Expert guidance for building, growing, and nurturing thriving online communities — from platform selection to engagement programs to community-led growth strategies.
4
5	## Philosophy
6
7	Great communities are built on three pillars:
8
9	1. Shared purpose — Members need a reason bigger than the product
10	2. Genuine connection — People stay for people, not features
11	3. Member empowerment — The best communities run themselves
12
13	## How This Skill Works
14
15	When invoked, apply the guidelines in `rules/` organized by:
16
17	- `strategy-*` — Community-led growth, positioning, and strategic planning
18	- `platform-*` — Discord, Slack, Circle, and platform selection
19	- `onboarding-*` — Member welcome flows and activation
20	- `engagement-*` — Programs, rituals, and recurring activities
21	- `content-*` — User-generated content and content programs
22	- `programs-*` — Ambassador, champion, and super-user programs
23	- `metrics-*` — Community health and analytics
24	- `moderation-*` — Governance, moderation, and conflict resolution
25	- `devrel-*` — Developer relations and technical community building
26

49	\| Stage \| Characteristics \| Focus \|
50	\|-------\|-----------------\|-------\|
51	\| Nascent \| Founder-led, <100 members \| 1:1 conversations, manual everything \|
52	\| Growing \| Early champions emerge, 100-1,000 \| Systems, rituals, first programs \|
53	\| Scaling \| Self-sustaining activity, 1,000-10,000 \| Governance, moderation, delegation \|
54	\| Mature \| Community-led initiatives, 10,000+ \| Platform, sub-communities, ecosystem \|

62	\| Regular \| Form habits, contribute \| Weekly active \|
63	\| Champion \| Lead initiatives \| Content created \|
64	\| Ambassador \| Represent externally \| Referrals, reach \|
65
66	### The 1-9-90 Rule
67
68	In most communities:
69	- 1% create content (Creators)
70	- 9% engage with content (Contributors)
71	- 90% consume content (Lurkers)
72
73	Goal: Move people up the engagement ladder, not force everyone to create.
