Build Guild
We're building tools that help people protect themselves, create things, and connect with each other. Everything here is open. You don't need permission to start — just read, sign, and pick something to work on.
This isn't a tech company. It's a community building expansion packs for reality. We follow nature's pattern: everything connects, nothing exists in isolation, and the system gets stronger every time someone contributes.
Who builds here
Coders
HTML, CSS, JavaScript. No frameworks, no build step. If you can read a web page, you can build one here. Every page follows the same template.
Designers
Dark theme, big buttons, mobile-first. Our design system is locked — you just apply it. Screenshots of every finished page are in the blueprint.
Writers & Counselors
Case studies, legal templates, educational content, community moderation. The Guardian Forge needs people who understand human problems, not just code.
Testers & Reporters
Use the tools. Find what's broken. Report it. Every bug you find makes the system stronger. No coding needed — just attention to detail.
Connectors
Know people who need these tools? Know communities that would benefit? Help us reach the people who need this most.

How We Build
Everything follows one pattern. Learn this and you can build anything on the platform.
This is a condensed version — the full document lives in the repo at DNA/GOLD_STANDARD_TEMPLATE.md.
🛠️ Get the code
The whole platform is one repo. Clone it, and every doc referenced in the missions below (Gold Standard, MASTER_REGISTRY.json, the audit tool) is inside it.

One script loads everything
Every page includes one line before </body>. It auto-loads the header, sidebar, toolbar, footer, auth, notifications — everything.
Three meta tags identify every page
The header reads these to know what module this is, what color to use, and what to show in the breadcrumb.
Dark theme, always
Background: #0a0a0f. Cards: #12121a. Text: #e8e8f0. No light mode. No exceptions.
Nothing navigates away
Every interaction is a panel switch or a widget overlay. The user never leaves the page. Buttons on the right side switch content in the center.
Phone first
44px touch targets. No horizontal scroll. Test on a 375px screen before calling it done.
No frameworks
Vanilla HTML, CSS, JavaScript. No React, no npm, no build step. Copy-paste deployable. If you can write a web page, you can build here.
Demo mode is the sales pitch
Non-signed-in users see sample data that shows the tool at its best. Never a "sign up to continue" wall. The demo sells itself.
The layout every page shares
You're looking at it right now. This page follows the Gold Standard. The buttons on the right switch panels. The toolbar at the bottom is the same everywhere. Build your page the same way.
Open Missions
Pick something that matches your skills. Claim it in Team Chat (button below), finish it, submit it, earn XP. Start with an easy one.

Hard — for experienced builders
Build a new module from the Gold Standard
HardCopy the template. Pick a problem. Build a full module with right-side tools, demo data, API endpoint, and mechanics log. +500 XP.
Wire Work Mode to GitHub commits
HardThe browser-based code editor (Work Mode) can read files but commits are broken. Fix the pipeline: UI → github-commit.mjs → GitHub API. +300 XP.
More missions get posted as the team grows. Check back or ask in comms.
Forge Masters
The Commander can't hold every brand alone — and shouldn't. Each brand below is a Forge. A Forge Master owns one: keeps it alive, posts about it, finds its first users, makes it better. Pick one and claim it. You don't need to be technical for most of these — you need to care and show up. This is how we stop being a one-man ship.
⚓ How claiming works
Tap Claim this Forge on the one that pulls you. It opens the team chat with your claim pre-written. Commander confirms, you're the Forge Master. Start with one duty from the list — done is better than perfect. Every Forge claimed is weight off the Commander's back.

Not sure which Forge?
That's fine. Start in Community Chat, say what you're good at and what you care about, and we'll find your Forge together. The only wrong move is staying on the shore. Every hand on deck is one less thing the Commander carries alone.
Talk to the Team
We're a small crew right now. Here's how to reach us and how we stay in sync.
ARAYA
The AI that knows the whole codebase. Ask her anything — how things work, where files are, what to build next.
Team Chat — the main room
Where the whole crew actually talks. Claim missions here, ask questions, share what you're building. Ryan's already in. Sign in with Google and jump in #General.
DM the Commander
Need Darrick directly? DM him in Team Chat — it texts his phone. For things that don't need the whole channel.
How we work
Sessions. Each work session starts with a boot (read the terrain, check what's broken) and ends with a bootdown (log what you did, post it to the board).
Bootdowns go to the board. When you're done working, write a short summary of what you built, what's still broken, and what should happen next. Everyone reads these in the morning.
Grab tasks in the morning. Check the missions panel. Check the bootdown board. Claim something and go.
