GUIDE — Social Accounts

Status: law — v1, 2026-08-28 Applies to: every profile Relay holds on an external platform — X, LinkedIn, GitHub, Bluesky, Instagram, YouTube, product directories — and every post published from one Parent: GUIDE.voice.md — the voice law applies wholesale here; this file only adds what a profile surface needs on top Vocabulary canon: ../_vocab/_VOCAB.md

A profile is the one surface where the whole brand has to survive in a name field, an avatar, one line, and 160 characters — written once and then read for months. This file locks that material so no account drifts on its own.


The brand line

Context that moves.

Adopted by EC, 2026-08-28 — resolving the brand-line question open in the Relay Creative stream since 2026-06-03 (item DFF139). Why this line holds where the candidates fell:

Also retired: "When you need it. Where you need it." — an availability claim with no mechanism in it; either half is true of any memory product.

Setting the line

The line vs. the cover line — both live, different surfaces

DFF139's tension resolves as a split, not a winner:

Surface kindCarriesWhy
Standalone — bios, taglines, directory one-liners, boilerplateContext that moves.Must work with zero setup
Cover — banners, deck covers, pinned-image headlinesThe session ends. The context shouldn't.A cover has a reader mid-scroll; the two-beat earns its turn there

Never both on the same surface — the two-beat budget in GUIDE.voice.md is one per surface, and the line counts as the display moment in a bio.


Identity block

FieldValueNotes
Display nameRelayCTXThe registrable brand form. "Relay" alone is unownable in a name field; prose inside posts says Relay
Handle@relayctxEverywhere. If taken on a platform: @relayctxcom (domain echo). Never underscores, suffixed years, or per-platform variants
AvatarOpen Signal mark on an app-icon tile — ../brand/app-icon-teal.svg / app-icon-light.svgPlatforms can't theme, so the tile carries the contrast the currentColor rule normally handles. Never the wordmark as an avatar
BannerNeutral surface (ink #111111 dark tile or true-neutral light), wordmark in Outfit 600, cover line in Cormorant GaramondA cover surface — it carries the two-beat, per the split above. Teal as touch point only
Linkhttps://relayctx.comThe link field is the CTA; bios don't repeat the URL
Company / about fieldsRelay Context Inc.Legal name only where the field asks for one. Location where offered: Ontario, Canada

Bio copy — locked tiers

Defaults are law; alternates are the approved rotation. Anything else is new copy and clears GUIDE.voice.md + check_vocab.py before it ships.

Approved alternate (standard bio, two-beat build) — only where the banner doesn't already run the two-beat:

The session ends. The context shouldn't. Package it, relay it with a Code, resume anywhere. You own what travels. Context that moves.

About / description fields — two modes, gated on the stealth period:

Stealth (current — while relayctx.com is the stealth page). One sentence, and it's done (EC, 2026-08-28). ™ rides the first use of the wordmark, per the brand brief (first-use only). The brand line is not repeated here — the tagline field above it already carries it, and the line appears once per profile:

RelayCTX™ is the context layer for AI.

Where a platform demands more than one sentence, the approved extended stealth:

RelayCTX™ is the context layer for AI. We're in early access, working with a small group of teams and operators. If we've already talked, you've seen more than this page — an invite code fast-tracks your request. Relay Context Inc., Ontario. Get access at relayctx.com.

Full (activates when the marketing site replaces the stealth page):

Relay is the context layer for AI. You package the substance of where you are — decisions, state, intent — and relay it with a short Code. A new session, a different tool, a teammate, an agent: work resumes where it left off. Context is stored so it can move — on demand, and you own it. Built by Relay Context Inc. Get access at relayctx.com.

Boilerplate (press, directories, app-store "about the developer"):

Relay Context Inc. builds RelayCTX, the context layer for AI — infrastructure for portable, user-owned context that moves between sessions, tools, agents, and people via short Codes. Receiving is always free, export is always free, and your context is never hostage.

The closing commitments are the ratified public set (pricing-commitments, 2026-08-13) — they ship verbatim or not at all.

Personal profiles (founder, team): own text first, the line last, same setting rules.

Building RelayCTX. Context that moves.


Posts

Marketing register per GUIDE.voice.md: headline + one or two sentences, one display moment, mechanism first, close on the action. On top of the voice law:


Naming contingency

The line contains no product name, and every bio names the product face exactly once. If the naming brief (../brand/BRIEF.name-alternatives.md) lands a rename, only the identity block changes — handles and display names then follow relay-board/rebrand/REFERENCE.rebrand-surface-index.md. The copy tiers survive as written.
