BY ROLE
WHO ARE YOU?
Start by choosing what kind of creative you are
Everyone’s creative work looks a little different. Some people work solo. Some run small teams. Some build platforms and communities. Your identity simply helps the Codex recommend documents that fit the way you work.
Pick the description that feels closest to what you are doing right now. The templates you see might include options tailored to your collaborations, your business structure, or the kind of audience you serve.
BY CATEGORY
WHAT KIND OF TOOL DO YOU NEED?
Not every document serves the same function. Some set rules. Some grant permission. Some define collaboration. Others exist to be referenced only when something goes wrong.
This path organizes the Codex by document type, grouping templates according to the role they play in a creative or business relationship. Use this view if you already know the kind of instrument you are looking for, even if the exact scenario is still taking shape.
Each category reflects a distinct legal function, from governing conduct, to allocating rights, to establishing procedures that operate quietly in the background until they are needed.
Choose the category that matches the kind of structure you need to put in place.
✦ Pacts. Agreements that define shared obligations and collaboration
✦ Policies. Rules governing conduct, use, or internal operations
✦ Waivers. Risk acknowledgments and releases of liability
✦ Grants. Permissions, licenses, and rights allocations
✦ Clauses. Standalone provisions for targeted use
✦ Protocols. Procedures for handling specific processes or events
