New reference documents:
references/bilingual-output-guide.md— schema YAML config completo para bilingual (es/en) output, translation preservation rules (NO traducir "Delaware Tostada", "Cayman Sandwich", nombres legales de jurisdicciones, acrónimos financieros), implementation roadmap per skill (v1.3+)references/mcp-integrations-guide.md— qué MCPs enhance qué skills (Linear, Context7, GitHub, Slack opt-in, Figma, Playwright), pattern de integration recomendado (MCP detection + manual fallback), roadmap de implementation
La v1.2 establece el framework para bilingual + MCP integration pero NO implementa todavía en skills individuales. Implementation gradual en v1.3+ basado en dog-food demand. Documentation-first approach para design validation antes de touching 22 skills.
Driven by dog-food of v1.0 (DOJ-3190) against @lapc506 4-venture portfolio. Reveló gap: users con 3-5 ventures wanting shared services + independent VC raises per venture no tenían pattern — skill saltaba de Multi-LLC (pattern #2/#3) a Multi-LLC+Holding (pattern #7) sin middle ground. Services Hub llena el gap.
Parent Epic: DOJ-3193
New skill:
services-hub-setup(DOJ-3195) — implementa Services Hub Model: Services LLC central + N independent Venture LLCs + bilateral MSAs. Genera MSA template + SOW template + transfer pricing methodology (cost-plus 10% default, OECD-defensible) + IP assignment rider + billing calendar. Strong legal disclaimer requiring lawyer review.
New reference document:
references/lapc506-services-hub-canonical.md(DOJ-3199) — canonical example aplicando Services Hub Model a @lapc506 4-venture scenario (Altrupets, Vertivolatam, Habitanexus, Aduanext). Concrete numbers: $6k setup, $4.4k annual. Referenced porservices-hub-setup,structure-decision,when-to-become-studio.
Updated skills:
-
structure-decision(DOJ-3194) — added pattern #6: Services Hub + Independent Ventures. Shifted previous #6 (Multi-LLC + Holding) to #7. Updated decision tree Regla 2 to route 3+ ventures con shared services + independent VC raises + no-fund a Services Hub. Added canonical case 4 (@lapc506 Services Hub). -
when-to-become-studiov1.1.0 (DOJ-3196) — refactored from binary (ready/not ready) a 3 operating modes:- Mode 1: Serial entrepreneur puro (0-4 signals) → Multi-LLC sin hub
- Mode 2: Services Hub operator (5-7 signals) →
services-hub-setupskill (NUEVO) - Mode 3: Formal studio con fund (8+ signals + plan fund) →
attached-fund-structure
-
shared-services-ledgerv1.1.0 (DOJ-3197) — added operating mode selection: Services Hub (bilateral MSAs, independent cap tables) vs. Full Studio (centralized via holding). Cada mode con distinct billing, reporting, transfer pricing implications. -
attached-fund-structure(DOJ-3198) — added upfront "¿Este skill es para vos?" section clarifying it's for studios con fund-attached plans, NOT serial entrepreneurs. Routes users aservices-hub-setupowhen-to-become-studiosi no aplica.
- Naming consistency: patterns #1-#7 explicitly numbered across all skills
- Cross-references updated: all skill integrations sections reflect new pattern #6
- Case study
dojocoding-labs-canonical-thesis.mdreferences unchanged (DojoCoding Labs es Skip-CR pattern #1, no Services Hub)
- Cross-plugin: update
business-model-toolkitFase 13 con Services Hub reference (DOJ-3200) — requiere separate PR enbusiness-model-toolkitrepo - Dog-food the new Services Hub pattern con real-world user outside @lapc506 case
- Implement bilingual output (es/en) per YAML config (deferred from v1.0)
- Add MCP integration for Linear / Carta / Mercury (deferred from v1.0)

- Bilingual output (es/en) framework defined in README; implementation per-skill pending actual dog-fooding (users will validate)
- No GitHub CI/CD yet (Greptile install pending DOJ-3192)
- No MCP integration (no external tool calls from skills yet)
vertical-charterLinear integration is manual — no direct Linear MCP reads yet
v1.0.0 marks feature-complete scope per the original SPIKE DOJ-3190 plan, but is NOT battle-tested. Breaking changes possible in v1.x as dog-fooding reveals issues. v2.0 will consolidate lessons learned.
Initial scaffold — see commits for details. This version was the "scaffold + first 3 skills" milestone from SPIKE. Consolidated into 1.0.0 upon completion of the full scope.
