+
+## How to add new guides
+
+1. Create a new markdown file in this directory (`bioregistry/docs/guides/`)
+2. Use appropriate front-matter so that Jekyll can give it a permalink
+   (see
+   [here](https://github.com/biopragmatics/bioregistry/blob/fe2a685503ae2c9ff863908bf885c71fd240c21d/docs/guides/providers.md?plain=1#L1-L5)
+   for an example)
+3. Add it to the list above
+
+## What makes a good guide
+
+A good guide is able to educate and guide a curator through a new scenario.
+
+As a guide writer, you should assume a small amount of background knowledge on the Bioregistry
+and using GitHub, but effectively none about the internal structure of the Bioregistry repository
+nor its data schema.
+
+Your guide should do the following:
+
+1. Give some high-level motivation on what curation from your guide accomplishes
+2. Explain in what files curation should be done. Give links to that file on the GitHub main branch for the
+   repository, so they can navigate in the web browser and see it. 
+3. Explain how to do the curation 
+   - Give a step-by-step guide
+   - Illustrate your guide with screenshots, code blocks (with highlighting), 
+     permalinks to files or sections of files in the Bioregistry GitHub repository
