Your Reading List 2026-07-14

Objective

The ordered path through Akash's docs — what to read, in what order, and why each one matters to you.

Why it matters

Read before you build. Everything you produce must match what's already locked here.

You need to

Read Day-1 list before you touch anything. Week-1 list over your first days. Reference on demand.

Your job

Creative production + onboarding automation

How to use this Read top to bottom. Don't build from the older files — where anything conflicts, the newest doc wins. Batch your questions into one list and bring them to the 1–2 PM hour.
Not on this list Pay, contracts, credentials, and money docs are handled with Akash directly — they're kept off this reading path on purpose. Older EyeFly-era files that don't touch your job are skipped too. Curation is the point: these ~20 are what matters.

Day 1 — must-reads read first, in order

Five docs. Read these before you open anything else or build a thing.

  1. Builder Vision Handoff Recruiting/Collins-Onboarding/builder-vision-handoff-2026-07-13.html

    The source of truth for what the company is and where all 7 systems stand today. Read this first — it frames everything else and tells you what "the machine" you're running actually is.

  2. Your Start Plan (6-week map) Recruiting/Collins-Onboarding/collins-start-plan-2026-07-13.html

    Your mission in one line + the daily slate. What you ship every day (newsletter, posts, AI-UGC video, carousel, statics) and the week-by-week path. This is your day-to-day.

  3. Daily Operating Rhythm Recruiting/Collins-Onboarding/daily-operating-rhythm-2026-07-13.html

    How the day runs: the huddle, the scoreboard you're measured on, and the end-of-day report. Pairs with your Slack guide.

  4. Canonical Brand 01-Projects/StPierre-GTM/canonical-brand.html

    The one-page brand + offer lock. The positioning, the audience, the proof, the offer. Every reel, post, and page you make has to match this. If a claim isn't here, don't use it.

  5. Content OS v2 01-Projects/St_Pierre_Digital/Content/content-os-v2.md

    The binding content playbook. Format specs, the voice, the CTA rule, and the only pricing allowed to appear in content. This is the rulebook for everything you produce.

Week 1 — read over your first days read soon

The working detail behind the daily slate and your first build.

Reference — grab when needed on demand

Don't read cover to cover. Open these when the task calls for it.
