| Corpus proposal (cited passage + eval case) | Propose a new species for the corpus — a cited passage in every supported language, plus the eval case that proves it answers a real question. | corpus-proposal |
This is the no-code path for research item E5. It asks only for the parts a
maintainer cannot supply for you; they transcribe your answers into a
proposals/<species>.yaml file and fill in the mechanical remainder — schema
version, submitter and date attribution, section titles, and the eval case's id,
cited sources, and provenance — before sprout propose check reviews it. So this
form is a deliberate subset of the proposal schema, not a field-for-field mirror
of it. If you are comfortable with YAML, run
sprout propose template > proposals/my-plant.yaml, fill that in, run
sprout propose check proposals/my-plant.yaml, and open a PR instead.
Two things to know before you start:
- Sprout never certifies a plant "safe." Write what a cited source says (and where
it is silent), and route serious ingestion questions to a veterinarian or a
poison-control line. A passage that certifies safety is rejected automatically. - Toxicity prose needs an expert. A proposal that touches toxicity or ingestion is
reviewed mechanically and then held for a licensed veterinary toxicologist /
poison-control clinician — and, for Spanish copy, a native horticulture reviewer.
That is a deliberate gate, not a backlog item.
Lower-case and hyphenated, e.g. parlor-palm. This becomes the corpus filename.
The publisher or title a reader would cite.
Use https://example.invalid/<species> if the prose is original placeholder text.
The passage must be redistributable under one of these.
The date you took this snapshot of the source.
"No" means it is transcribed from a real source, which requires a committed expert sign-off.
Use the corpus section headings — ## Watering, ## Light, ## Toxicity, ## Soil and repotting, ## Common problems. Name the plant in each sentence; that is what makes verbatim extraction unambiguous.
A translated mirror with translated headings and the same sections, in the same order.
A real question this passage should answer.
It must appear verbatim in your passage — that is what makes the case checkable.
Anything a maintainer or an expert reviewer should know — coverage gaps, disputed facts, translation choices.
