📖 Introduction

The Kai Project is an open-source project designed to break down information barriers by providing a centralized resource for sharing and discussing Japanese graduate school entrance exam answers.

"Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything"

Project website: Japanese graduate school entrance exam answers

👏 Contribution

The project encourages community contributions through multiple channels:

• Git Pull Requests: For contributors familiar with Git
• Email Submissions: For users who prefer to send content via email
• Community Discussion: Discuss the answers to the questions and your experience with the exam via the QQ group, or let us know if the answers are wrong via GitHub issues!

All Git contributions follow a standardized format that includes metadata, tags, and proper file organization to maintain consistency across the platform.

📝 Formatting guidelines

All contributions must adhere to specific formatting guidelines to maintain consistency throughout the project.

Document Frontmatter

Exam answer:

Each exam answer markdown document must include frontmatter at the beginning of the file, which provides metadata about the content:

---
sidebar_label: 'Title displayed in sidebar'
tags:
  - School-Name
  - Topic-Tag (optional)
---

Required frontmatter fields:

• sidebar_label: The title that will appear in the navigation sidebar
• tags: At minimum, must include the relevant school (e.g., Tokyo-University). Additional exam focus topic tags are optional but encouraged.

Blog:

Blog posts reference these author IDs in their frontmatter:

Every author should have at least the name attribute.

Single author:

---
title: Post title
authors:
  name: example author
tags: [Tag1, Tag2]
---

Multiple authors:

---
title: Post title
authors:
  - name: Joel Marcey
  - name: Sébastien Lorber
tags: [Tag1, Tag2]
---

File Naming and Location Conventions

Files must be placed in the correct directory structure and follow naming conventions:

1. Base directory: docs/
2. Hierarchy: school/department/major/academic year/
3. Filename: Should indicate the content's specific details (school abbreviation, year and month of the exam, subject, question number)

docs/
├── <university>/
│   ├── <department>/
│   │   ├── <specialization>/
│   │   │   ├── <academic year>/
│   │   │   │   └── <exam_file>.md
blog/
├── <category>/
│   └── <blog_post>.md

Example:

docs/tokyo-university/engineering/ap/2020/ap_201908_phys_3.md

This corresponds to:

• School: Tokyo University
• Department: Engineering
• Major: Applied Physics (ap)
• Year and month of the exam: 201908
• Subject: Physics
• Question number: 3

📧 Email Submissions

For contributors who are not familiar with Git, the project accepts contributions via email.

Steps for Email Submission:

1. Prepare your content following the formatting guidelines
2. Send your content to the project email address: 376672994@qq.com
3. Project maintainers will review your submission

This method is designed to lower the barrier to entry for contributors who want to share valuable content but don't have technical Git experience.
