Community has stages. Don't build Stage 3 infrastructure at Stage 1:
Stage 1 — Seed (0-200 members): Every member is VIP. Founder in every conversation. Goal: find the 10 most engaged members. They become the nucleus.
Stage 2 — Momentum (200-2,000 members): Members start helping each other. System starts replacing founder time. Goal: 10% of members are active weekly. Power users emerge.
Stage 3 — Flywheel (2,000+ members): Community self-sustains. Contributors bring in contributors. Goal: community creates more value than it consumes.
Discord structure (for developer communities):
Channels:
#announcements (read-only, low frequency — big news only)
#general (casual conversation)
#show-and-tell (members share what they've built)
#help (support questions — separate from community to prevent noise)
#feedback (product suggestions — searchable)
#integrations (3rd party integrations users build)
#jobs (only if community is large enough to sustain)
Category: Contributors (for open source projects)
#contributing (how to contribute)
#prs (PR discussion)
#roadmap (what's coming)
Rules:
- No spam, self-promotion without context, or sales DMs
- Help others if you know the answer
- Search before asking (link to docs search)
GitHub community health:
First-time contributor experience is a funnel:
Step 1: Find the project (star / fork / clone)
Step 2: Read CONTRIBUTING.md — understand how to help
Step 3: Find a "good first issue" — clear scope, complete before giving up
Step 4: Open a PR — follow template
Step 5: Get feedback quickly (target: 48h turnaround for first PR review)
Step 6: PR merged + celebrated (shoutout in Discord, changelog mention)
Step 7: Take on harder issue — they're now a contributor
Design each step to be frictionless. Drop-off at any step = fix that step.
Ambassadors are your best users who promote the product without being paid to.
Prerequisites before launching:
Ambassador program structure:
## [Product] Ambassador Program
**Who qualifies:**
- Active community member for [N] months
- Has shared the product publicly at least once
- [Role fit — e.g., developer, team lead, OSS contributor]
**What ambassadors get:**
- Early access to features
- [Product] credits / extended plan
- Direct Slack channel with team
- Speaking opportunities at [Product] events
- LinkedIn / Twitter recognition
**What ambassadors do:**
- Share honest product experiences publicly
- Run or attend 1 local event / meetup per quarter
- Provide product feedback monthly
- Help community members with questions
**Application:**
[Simple form — 3 questions max]
Design the community flywheel specific to this product:
VALUE (product solves a real problem)
↓
MEMBERS join community
↓
CONNECTIONS form between members (peer relationships)
↓
CONTRIBUTIONS increase (questions, answers, code, content)
↓
BETTER PRODUCT from community feedback
↓
MORE VALUE created
↓ (loop)
Identify the current weakest link in the flywheel. That's the one to fix.

[if applicable — criteria, benefits, expectations]
## Response SLAs

- Feature requests: Acknowledged [N] days, responded to in roadmap cycle
## Community Health Metrics
- Weekly active members (target: 10% of total)
- Questions answered by community (not team) (target: 60%+)
- Contribution rate (% of members who contribute code/content) (target: 5%+)
- Member churn rate (inactive 30 days) (target: <20%/month)
## Weekly Community Ops (30 min/week)
[ ] Respond to all unanswered questions
[ ] Highlight one community member or contribution
[ ] Share one piece of product news or behind-the-scenes
[ ] Check for new GitHub issues — label and respond
Produce the complete community playbook and GitHub health checklist. Every section should be immediately actionable — not theory.
Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose. If output exceeds 40 lines, delegate to /atlas-report.
