+# Comms Tech Lead Role Handbook
+
+## Overview
+
+This handbook outlines expectations and responsibilities for Tech Leads as well as Contributor Comms team members who wish to contribute to technical efforts.
+
+Tech leads' contributions further the Contributor Comms team's efforts to communicate  contributors' stories by resolving technical issues and decisions around [contributor-site](https://www.kubernetes.dev/), social media automation tools [kubernetes-sigs/contributor-tweets](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/contributor-tweets), and [slack-bot](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/slack-infra/tree/main/slack-post-message). 
+
+[contributor-site](https://www.kubernetes.dev/) is a one-stop for Kubernetes contributor content and news. It brings important documentation scattered throughout the project into one central location. 
+
+Along with contributor-site there exist two automation tools that help:
+1. To create tweets (k8scontributors) via GitHub actions (see: [workflow](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/contributor-tweets/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml)) 
+2. To broadcasts messages across multiple slack channels (see: [slack-bot](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/slack-infra/tree/main/slack-post-message))
+
+The [contributor-tweets repo](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/contributor-tweets) utilizes open source Github action [twitter-together](https://github.com/gr2m/twitter-together) project to automate tweet approval from an issue.
+
+## Minimum Skills and Requirements

+- Are a member of the [Kubernetes GitHub Org]
+- Good knowledge of Node.js, Hugo(docsy theme and frontmatter)
