Cognitive Contribution Label (CCL)

A transparent tool to document how much AI contributed to your project — inspired by Creative Commons.

What is CCL?

The CCL helps students, researchers, and creators transparently document the role of artificial intelligence across all stages of their creative process. Inspired by the spirit of Creative Commons, the CCL promotes honest reflection, responsible use of AI, and clarity in collaborative, tech-assisted creation.

The CCL is not an audit — it's a reflective practice. The process of honest self-assessment is as valuable as the label itself.

CCL v2 — AI-first + Human-first

→ Open CCL Generator v2

v2 introduces two complementary perspectives:

AI-first

Rate AI involvement across 8 project phases (0–4):

Code	Phase
R	Research & References
I	Ideation
D	Design
C	Coding / Programming
P	Prototyping / Making
O	Documentation
M	Project Management
F	Reflection & Feedback

Human-first

Rate your irreplaceable contribution across 6 maker dimensions (0–4):

Code	Dimension	Grounded in
E	Lived Experience	Haraway, Kolb
L	Local Knowledge	Geertz, Rudofsky
R	Relationship	Lave & Wenger
B	Body & Making	Polanyi, Merleau-Ponty
K	Technical Risk	David Pye — workmanship of risk
J	Judgment	Schön, phronesis

Authorship Archetypes (Both mode)

Combine both scores to get your archetype:

Archetype	AI	Human
Augmented	High	High
Delegated	High	Low
Craft	Low	High
Routine	Low	Low

Setup — Google Sheets integration

Both v1 and v2 save labels to a shared Google Sheet and display a live counter.

1. Create a Google Sheet
2. Go to Extensions → Apps Script
3. Paste the contents of appscript_v2.gs
4. Click Deploy → New deployment → Web App
   • Execute as: Me
   • Who has access: Anyone
5. Copy the deployment URL
6. For local development: copy config.example.js → config.js and paste your URL
7. For production (GitHub Pages): the URL is already set as a fallback in script_v2.js

config.js is in .gitignore — never commit it.

Deploy on GitHub Pages

1. Fork this repository
2. Go to Settings → Pages
3. Source: Deploy from branch → main / root
4. Your site: https://<your-username>.github.io/ccl/
