ELIXIR-UK Handbook

A living reference for who ELIXIR-UK is, how we sound, and who we talk to.

This site is the single source of truth for three things:

  • Brand – the visual identity. Logo, colour, typography, imagery, templates.
  • Style guide – how we write. Voice, conventions, do-and-don’t and the LLM system prompt that lets a language model draft on-brand copy on our behalf.
  • Communications strategy – who we’re talking to, why, on what channels, and how we know it’s working.

How this site is built

Every page is a markdown file in a public GitHub repo. That means:

  • the content is version-controlled – every change is reviewable
  • the same markdown that renders this site can be fed to a language model as a system prompt, so the model writes in our voice without us maintaining a parallel “prompt document”
  • contributions go through pull requests
