Why this is useful
Our mission and values mentions conviction voting, and Navigating core community infrastructure refers to the covenant and proposal challenges. The inspected pages do not explain those terms where they first appear. A newcomer should not need to understand a governance system before they can read its introduction.
Scope and sources
Choose one term on one page. A good starting point is “covenant” in the infrastructure map. Read that paragraph and the Celeste documentation to explain the general design. You only need to check the covenant linked by the documented Gardens v1 deployment if your proposed wording makes a claim about its current rules. A sourced general definition is useful without that claim.
Prepare a one- or two-sentence explanation and an original-source link at the point of use. Keep technical detail in the linked source rather than adding a full glossary or duplicating it across pages.
Evidence basis: The infrastructure page at commit 654576b, inspected 10 November 2026. Current source availability and the proposed definition still need verification.
Done when
- A reader can explain the term’s purpose and where to learn more without already knowing DAO jargon.
- The definition has a source and distinguishes general design from current rules.
- You return the original passage, proposed replacement, source checked, and one sentence explaining why it helps.
- Any local edit passes the contribution-guide checks, or you clearly report what could not run.
Coordinate and stop
Check existing issues and pull requests for definitions or edits to the same page. If no source supports a general definition, return the question and evidence instead of making one up. If the deployed covenant cannot be checked, keep the definition general and flag current rules as unverified. Do not resolve conflicting rules, change the covenant, imply a new policy, or publish without authorization. This is a candidate, not an assignment or reward offer.
Copy a starting prompt
Read https://1hive.org/AGENTS.md and the contribution guide.
Help me explain the word “covenant” at its first use in the
infrastructure map. Check the latest page, existing work, and
original sources. Prepare one short replacement passage with
links and a checked date. Explain general design from the Celeste
documentation; verify the deployed covenant only for a claim
about current rules. Flag unavailable or conflicting evidence
instead of inventing it. Keep this a private draft;
do not publish, contact anyone, connect a wallet, or transact.
