By name: canonical-content-sources description: When writing or editing substantive site content (copy, key points, FAQs, brief text), uses only approved canonical sources (docs/canonical/briefs/, docs/canonical/books/, content_constants.py, templates) and cites which source. Use when adding or changing copy on the legislator brief, The Issue, home, advocacy scripts, or any key points or messaging.
Canonical Content Sources
When you add or edit substantive content (copy, key points, FAQs, brief sections, email/call script wording), use only the approved canonical sources. Never invent facts, statistics, or messaging.
Quick reference
| What you're writing | Use only |
|---|---|
| Mission, vision, 5-point message | content.py: STRATEGIC_MISSION, STRATEGIC_VISION, STRATEGIC_FIVE_POINTS |
| Legislator brief page (any section or key points) | legislator_brief.html existing sections + STRATEGIC_FIVE_POINTS (for a key points block) |
| The Issue page / constituent narrative | the_issue.html prose + content.py STRATEGIC_* |
| FAQs | content.py: FAQ_LAW, FAQ_ADVOCACY (The Issue), FAQ_LEGISLATORS (legislator brief) |
| State table, bills, doc links | content.py: BRIEF_STATE_STATUS, BRIEF_*, BRIEF_SOURCES, BRIEF_DOCUMENTS |
One-pager and constituent brief continuity
- Legislator one-pager: Canonical text is
docs/canonical/briefs/legislator-brief.txt(loaded at runtime by content.py). The PDF at/static/advocacy/IL_Kei_Vehicle_Registration_Fix_Brief.pdfshould match. When writing anything “from the one-pager,” use that template text only. - Constituent brief: Canonical text is
docs/canonical/briefs/constituent-brief.txt(loaded at runtime for The Issue page). Key points from STRATEGIC_FIVE_POINTS. Rendered narrative is inthe_issue.html. The PDF at/static/images/Illinois_Kei_Vehicle_Registration_Constituent_Brief.pdfis the authoritative doc; if you don’t have its text in the repo, use the_issue.html + STRATEGIC_* and do not invent. If the user addsdocs/canonical/constituent-brief-extract.md(or similar), use that for exact wording.
Workflow
- Identify the audience — Legislator (brief page, one-pager refs) vs constituent (Issue page, email/call script).
- Open the right source — Brief text in
docs/canonical/briefs/; strategy books indocs/canonical/books/; site copy (STRATEGIC_*, FAQ_*, etc.) in content_constants.py and templates. Full list:docs/canonical/README.md. - Draft only from those sources — Paraphrase or quote; do not add new claims or points that aren’t there.
- Cite in your response — e.g. “Key point 1 is from STRATEGIC_FIVE_POINTS; key point 2 is a condensed version of ‘Issue in one sentence’ in legislator_brief.html.”
If the user asks for content that would require wording not in any canonical source, say so and ask them to provide the text or add it to content.py / docs/canonical/.
