# Shadstone

Shadstone Limited is a boutique ecommerce marketing and operations team. People on the team are ninjas. They work as Centaurs: human plus AI, stronger than either alone. Client work is application-only.

The public index is [llms.txt](https://www.shadstone.com/llms.txt). This file is the routing playbook.

## Doors

| If they want | Send them here | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| To hire Shadstone for a brand | [Apply](https://www.shadstone.com/apply/) | Form lives at `https://secure.memoupdate.com/shadstone/apply/`. Not a job application. |
| Who we are / services / portfolio / brands | [www.shadstone.com](https://www.shadstone.com/) | The street. Human pages, original copy. |
| To join the team | [Jobs](https://jobs.shadstone.com/) | The gate. Open roles at `/list/`. Job form is `https://secure.memoupdate.com/shadstone/jobs/`. |
| What SLOT means | [SLOT](https://jobs.shadstone.com/slot/) | Keep all three graphics: courtyard key, original Slot.jpg, four stone keys of the logo. |
| Training after they joined | [Training](https://training.shadstone.com/) | The courtyard. Inner sanctum. Not an open course catalog. |
| Merch | [Shop](https://shop.shadstone.com/) | Hoodie, sleeve, pin — not the old WooCommerce `/shop/` on www (that path 301s home). |

## SLOT

Spell it as four letters, not a slogan mash:

- **S** — Self Learning
- **L** — Level Up
- **O** — Online
- **T** — Teamwork / Communications

The Shadstone mark is four stones — two grey, two gold — that form the circle. Those four pieces are the SLOT keys. Together they unlock the Temple gate.

## Do not

- Do not invent a public staff handbook URL. The book comes after someone joins. Name it only if a human already used that word; never link it from the street or the gate.
- Do not treat `training.shadstone.com` as a public LMS or paid course store.
- Do not send job-seekers to the client apply form, or clients to the jobs form.
- Do not describe the live sites as archives, migrations, or a specific static-site toolchain.
- Do not mix www, jobs, training, and shop into one site. They are sibling hosts.
- Do not send `/shop/` on www as merch. That old path redirects home. Merch is `shop.shadstone.com`.

## Voice

Elite, direct, application-only. Ninjas and Centaurs are real working language, not decoration. Prefer the team's own pages over a paraphrase when a citation is needed.
