Corp v1 Guild Establishment

Corp v1 Guild Establishment

Decision

On 2026-08-27, RootAtSkic (discord:1518725627845283888) established corp-v1-guild as the central improvement workspace shared with Hermes.

The approved implementation includes:

• Discord channel corp-v1-guild (1542596418215092264) under the corp-v1 category;
• central operating skill corp-v1-guild;
• private Gitea source repository home-v1-skills-code-agent/corp-v1-guild on default branch test;
• runtime installation of the published skill;
• Guild guidance linked and pinned in the channel;
• Corp v1 portal architecture updates that distinguish Guild improvement coordination from Board governance and the seven project delivery channels.

Evidence

The approving instruction is Discord message 1542596833266761748 in channel 1542596418215092264. RootAtSkic requested a skill similar in durability to corp-v1-main, defined the channel's purpose as improvements across channels, their skills, and reference skills, and required both portal architecture and Gitea publication.

Authority boundary

The Guild coordinates improvement discovery, impact inventory, ownership routing, implementation, rollout, and verification. It does not replace:

• the Corp v1 Board for project lifecycle, membership, corp-v1-main, or central channel-reference approvals;
• project Scope, Architecture, UI/UX, Kanban, Delivery, or Releases decisions;
• preserved project-local authorization overrides;
• repository validation, review, exact-head CI, deployed readback, or destructive-action safeguards.

The Guild is a central portfolio workspace, not an eighth project channel and not an additional project-adopted skill.

Consequences

1. Cross-cutting improvement work has one durable intake and coordination surface.
2. Every material improvement records exact evidence, affected surfaces, owner, required approvals, rollout boundary, and verification.
3. Central reference changes still follow Board approval and deliberate semantic adoption into every affected project copy.
4. Portal architecture and channel guidance must remain synchronized with the Guild operating contract.
5. No scheduler job is created for corp-v1-guild; project automation retains its separately recorded authority and is not changed by this decision.
