The old links pointed to a 404'd external principles page and an external GitHub-strategy page whose content already lives here as the DEV- rules. Point at the repo's own README instead of restating or dead-linking either.
zolotokrylin
changed the title
The exact percentage was visible in this repo's diff to anyone, clients and competitors included. Keep the structural fact that commission exists here and point to hr-internal (private) for the rate and how the PO salary component is sized.
Partner already means a seniority level two sections up in this same doc, so reusing it for account management would make the word mean two things on one page. Describe the responsibility instead of naming an undefined role.
The org already publishes Partner (marketing-website's jobs/partner.md) as owning a client relationship end-to-end on commission plus a possible base salary, the same shape as this account-management trigger. Point at that instead of a made-up description.
holdex/developers is the shared standard other rules systems adopt, so it shouldn't depend on hr-internal (private, would 404 for most readers) or marketing-website. Say 'ask your lead' instead of linking out, and use the Partner name without linking its job posting.
Documentation was a generic label for a file whose actual job, org-wide, is answering how work is proposed, built, reviewed, and shipped.
We already have per-file rules for how work gets done; advocacy was the one policy still living as a standalone doc outside that system. Split it by checkable behavior: DEV-510 is ongoing public conduct, DEV-520 is the one-time GitHub/LinkedIn/X profile setup.
Both docs/README.md sections restated what DEV-180 and DEV-390 already state as the rule. Keep the one fact not already owned anywhere, that docs/product/ is the only subtree meant to render as an end-user docs site, in DEV-180, and let the index just link to it.
holdex/trial now owns the whole application flow as a public issue-form and leaderboard; this static thank-you page describes a model that no longer exists and nothing links to it but this file's own index entry. Also drop the Product/Specs sections: docs/product/ and docs/specs/ don't exist in this repo, they're a convention DEV-180 defines for other repos to follow, so there was nothing left for these sections to index once trimmed.
holdex/trial now runs the whole flow as automated workflows: fork, open a profile PR, pass an automated check, then the trial goal posts on its own. docs/TRIAL.md still described the old manual process, Discord private threads, pinging Mark, forking holdex-venture-studio or truflation, none of which matches what candidates see today, and nothing referenced it but this file's own index entry.
Both files were titled Contributing Guidelines after the earlier rename, colliding with docs/CONTRIBUTING.md, the file 10+ other repos already call that by name. Rename the index to Guidelines, and move the 'developers are everyone creating value' framing there too: it explains who reads the index, so it belongs on the index, not under a For Developers heading in root whose real job is repo setup.

x.com/holdex.io and @holdexio were wrong; holdex/marketing's Channels table (the canonical brand source), marketing-website, and trial's live templates all agree the handle is @HoldexIo at x.com/HoldexIo. Also drop the @zolotokrylin tag: it isn't verifiable anywhere in the org, marketing's own Channels table lists Vadim's LinkedIn and Bluesky but leaves X blank. Kept the values hardcoded rather than linking to holdex/marketing: that repo is private to a small group, and DEV-520 is read by every new member.
Holdex's Bluesky presence (zolotokrylin.bsky.social) is already the third channel trial's live application template points candidates to alongside X and LinkedIn; the advocacy rules didn't mention it.
Every existing depends_on in this rules system points to a lower number; advocacy genuinely needs the profile to exist first, so the setup rule (foundational, no dependency) becomes DEV-510 and advocacy (depends_on DEV-510) becomes DEV-520.
Wizard's job-application/onboarding flow creates the social-profile Problem automatically on new-member onboarding (apps/webhooks/.../templates/PROBLEM_SOCIAL_PROFILE.md in holdex/wizard); completing and verifying the fields is still manual.

Authoring meant rule-authoring, but read as PR/code authoring; renamed to Rule Authoring. Contribution model implied it was the whole definition of contributing, with PR requirements and Review sitting outside it; renamed to Planning, and added a line stating the three are stages of one contribution, not separate models of it.
Both sentences restated content already owned elsewhere: the first just repeated the Rule Authoring list two sections above it, the second copied DEV-030's own Solution near-verbatim.
The prose narrating how the three pillars fit together existed before the docs were split into numbered rules, and got lost in that split. Each piece is still documented precisely (DEV-110 through DEV-180), but nothing narrated the end-to-end flow connecting them, so a first read meant reconstructing the mental model from ten files in sequence.
The overview paragraph used descriptive anchors ([Goal], [agrees], [graduates out of it]) instead of the rule ID, exactly the pattern DEV-040 calls out as bad in the file that governs citations for this very rules system. Switched to the repo's own 'per DEV-XXX' style.
'per DEV-XXX' as a trailing citation reads awkwardly in flowing prose. Append the ID inside the existing anchor text instead, e.g. 'a Goal (DEV-110)', still satisfying DEV-040 (the ID is part of a link) without breaking the sentence.

…luesky Resolves review feedback on PR #155: - reviews juniors' work was leftover pre-rewrite wording; this doc uses Entry/Intermediate/Lead/Partner throughout, fixed to match - Intermediate's problem-breakdown read as identical to Entry's; made the actual distinction explicit (DEV-150 barrier-mapping is Intermediate's addition, not something Entry also does) - added Pay by Level: Entry is the unpaid holdex/trial phase, Intermediate/Lead are a fixed hourly rate per each contractor's own Rate Card in holdex/contractor-terms, Partner is fixed plus a percentage per BD_COMPENSATION.md (private); compliance with the Developer Guidelines is a condition of every level above Entry, not a one-time bar - docs/rules/DEV-510.md pointed at zolotokrylin.bsky.social (personal) instead of the official holdex.io Bluesky account; verified directly against the Bluesky API (238 posts, genuinely Holdex-branded content, distinct DID from the personal account) and fixed
…the prose pass Core Rules said growth 'doesn't get renegotiated case by case' while Two Tracks said the Partner salary component is 'set... case by case' two paragraphs later, same phrase, opposite claims. Partner's pay mechanism was also described twice with different framing (a salary component vs a fixed rate). Point Two Tracks at Pay by Level instead of restating it. Also finished the prose rewrite this doc never fully got: Growth Path was still three-word table fragments (learn, execute, ask) left over from before the table became prose.
Reintroduced the exact issue already fixed once in this PR: this repo must stay self-contained, no links to hr-internal (private). Match the same 'ask your lead' pattern already used for Two Tracks, worded to avoid the 'case by case' phrase that collided with Core Rules.

'independently' was vague and could misread as an employment classification (contractor vs employee) rather than the intended 'on your own initiative'. Drop it and let the doc's own detail (Core Rules, the DEV-440 citation in Two Tracks) carry the nuance.

-
the description says this adds "the 10% commission rate, and the Product Owner
salary condition." but I can't find those points. -
#154 also calls it the "Product Owner salary condition" and the doc calls the
role Partner. Is it the same thing? if yes, one of the two should change name.

Once this merges, BD and sales hires can read their compensation model directly in docs/COMPENSATION.md instead of getting it explained live per hire.
Folds the delivery-level tables into prose and adds the acquisition track: the delivery/acquisition split, the 10% commission rate, and the Product Owner salary condition, none of which had a written home before.
