Document role:
This page explains how users will later submit their own avatars into the WFGY 5.0 Avatar community layer.
What this page is for:
1. Explain the future submission path clearly and simply.
2. Show that custom avatars are expected to be real builds, not random files.
3. Help users understand what kind of avatar is worth submitting.
4. Connect submission to reusable builds, sample writing, naming, and community curation.
5. Keep the current page useful now while remaining honest about what is still work in progress.
What this page is not:
1. Not the final community registry page.
2. Not the final format specification page.
3. Not the final PR template page.
4. Not a guarantee that every submitted avatar will be accepted.
5. Not a claim that the full Awesome Avatar List is already fully built today.
How to use this page:
1. Understand the intended community direction first.
2. Prepare your avatar as a real branch, not a random experiment.
3. Make sure you can describe what the avatar is for.
4. Include sample writing later when the submission path opens.
5. Follow the future format and PR instructions when they are published.
Important boundary:
This page explains the intended submission philosophy and future path.
Some connected community pages are still work in progress.
That is intentional.

# 🌟 Submit Your Avatar
One of the long-range directions of **WFGY 5.0 Avatar** is not only to let people use official routes.
It is also to let people eventually build, refine, and submit their **own avatars**.
That matters because Avatar is not meant to stop at two official names.
The direction is larger:
- one shared runtime
- many possible avatars
- stronger branches over time
- a future community layer with clearer standards
This page explains that direction in a practical way.
---
## ✨ Why This Page Exists
If Avatar really supports:
- reusable builds
- custom branches
- named routes
- growing avatar families
then eventually there needs to be a path for users to share what they made.
But healthy sharing should not mean:
- random dumps
- unnamed files
- vague personalities
- zero examples
- no explanation of intended use
That would create noise, not a community layer.
So this page exists to make one thing clear:
**if you want to submit an avatar later, it should be a real build**
Not just a lucky run.
Not just a funny experiment.
Not just a file with a dramatic name.
A real build is stronger than that.
---
## 🧠 What Kind of Avatar Should Be Submitted
A future submission should usually be something with enough structure to stand on its own.
In practice, that means the avatar should have:
- a clear name
- a recognizable intended feel
- a real use direction
- enough tuning to feel distinct
- enough stability to reuse
- sample writing that shows what it does well
This does **not** mean the avatar has to be perfect.
It does mean the avatar should be understandable.
Someone reading your submission later should be able to answer questions like:
- what is this avatar trying to do
- how is it different from the base routes
- when should someone use it
- what kind of writing or interaction does it suit
- what makes it worth keeping or sharing
That is the standard direction.
---
## 🌱 Where Custom Avatars Usually Begin
A custom avatar does not need to appear fully formed.
A healthy path usually looks like this:
1. start from `avatar.txt`
2. boot an official route or `hello YOUR_AVATAR_NAME`
3. decide the intended vibe
4. tune through `WFGY_BRAIN`
5. test with real tasks
6. save stronger variants
7. keep refining until the route becomes real enough to name and describe clearly
That means submission is not the first step.
It is usually a later step.
The route becomes stronger first.
Then it becomes more shareable.
That order matters.
---
## 🪪 What Your Submission Will Eventually Need
The final format page will be published separately later.
For now, the intended direction is that a future submission will likely need things like:
- avatar name
- base route
- intended vibe
- ideal use cases
- sample writing
- optional tuning notes
- optional multilingual notes
- known limits if any
This is not the final checklist yet.
It is the current planning direction.
That means you can already prepare with the right mindset, even before the full submission format page is finished.
---
## 📝 Why Sample Writing Will Matter
A future avatar submission should not rely only on self-description.
It should also show itself.
That is why sample writing will matter.
Later, a stronger submission will likely include writing that helps other people quickly understand:
- how the avatar sounds
- how it opens
- how it explains
- how it responds
- how it carries its intended feel
- whether it feels reusable or only theatrical
This matters because an avatar is not just a name.
It is a behavior route.
And behavior is easier to understand when it is demonstrated.
---
## 🧱 Why Reusable Builds Matter Before Submission
A good submission usually grows out of a reusable build.
That matters because reusable builds already have some important qualities:
- they survived at least a few comparisons
- they were strong enough to keep
- they are easier to name honestly
- they are easier to explain
- they are easier to branch from later
A random experiment may still be fun.
But a future community submission should ideally be something with a clearer route identity.
This is one reason reusable builds matter so much.
They are often the bridge between private experimentation and public sharing.
---
## 🤝 What the Community Layer Is Trying to Avoid
The future community layer is not meant to become:
- a junk drawer
- a random persona graveyard
- a pile of unsorted character files
- a popularity contest with no standards
- a dumping zone for unfinished experiments
The healthier direction is something more curated.
That means submissions should gradually move toward:
- clearer naming
- clearer intended purpose
- visible examples
- better branch identity
- more honest boundaries
This is important.
A strong community layer depends not only on openness.
It also depends on readable structure.
---
## 🌟 About the Awesome Avatar List
The future **Awesome Avatar List** is part of this direction.
It will be the place where stronger avatars can later be surfaced more clearly.
For now, that layer is still:
**WORK IN PROGRESS**
That is intentional.
It is better to grow that list carefully than to fake completeness too early.
So at the current stage, you should read the Awesome Avatar direction as:
- a real future community surface
- a curated place for notable avatar branches
- not yet the final finished gallery
That is the honest position for now.
---
## 🛠️ What You Can Do Right Now
Even before the full submission system is finished, you can already do useful preparation.
You can:
- build a custom avatar branch
- give it a real name
- test it with real tasks
- save stronger variants
- write sample outputs
- note what makes it distinct
- keep track of its intended use
- prepare for a later submission workflow
This means the ecosystem can begin growing even before every community page is fully finished.
That is a good sign.
---
## 🧭 A Good Preparation Path
If you eventually want to submit an avatar later, a good preparation path looks like this:
### Step 1
Start from `avatar.txt`
### Step 2
Boot one route
Examples:
- `hello psbigbig`
- `hello minips`
- `hello YOUR_AVATAR_NAME`
### Step 3
Tune the behavior through `WFGY_BRAIN`
### Step 4
Run real tasks and compare results
### Step 5
Save stronger variants only
### Step 6
Choose one branch that feels distinct and reusable
### Step 7
Write a sample piece that shows the avatar clearly
### Step 8
Wait for the final format and PR path to open more fully
This is already enough to prepare in a disciplined way.

## 🐣 Why `YOUR_AVATAR_NAME` Matters Here Too
`YOUR_AVATAR_NAME` is relevant to submission because it reminds users of something very important:
the system is branchable
It tells the user, from the beginning:
- official avatars exist
- but your own avatar can exist too
That is a very strong design message.
A future custom submission may begin from:
- a modified PSBigBig route
- a modified MiniPS route
- or a renamed and shaped `YOUR_AVATAR_NAME` branch
That flexibility is one reason the community layer can become interesting later.
---
## ⚠️ What This Page Does Not Claim
This page explains the community direction, but the boundary still matters.
It does **not** claim:
- that submissions are fully open right now
- that the Awesome Avatar List is already complete
- that final formatting rules are already frozen forever
- that every user-made branch should be submitted
- that every named avatar is automatically worth sharing
- that curation standards are already fully finished in public
This page is about planned direction and healthy preparation.
That is enough for now.
---
## 🚀 Why This Matters for the Product as a Whole
A system becomes much larger the moment it supports not only use, but also contribution.
That is the direction here.
Avatar is not only trying to be:
- a better writing assistant
- a tunable persona tool
- a runtime for official routes
It is also trying to become:
- a place where stronger avatars can accumulate
- a place where branches can later be shared
- a place where custom work can become legible to others
- a future ecosystem instead of a sealed product
That is one reason this page matters.
It points toward a future where Avatar is not only used.
It is also built on together.
