RinDig/icm-architect It runs in pretty much any agent now: Codex, Gemini CLI, Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor. Or hand the folder to any model and tell it to use the skill. Workspaces now start from an AGENTS .md file, so they aren’t tied to one company’s tools. It would work with others before just not as reliably, should be better now. I also cleaned it up a lot. The whole method comes down to three building blocks now: a sequence of steps, a shelf of same-shaped files, and a small map that points to everything. Every step ends at a check, whether that’s you looking at it or a small model doing it, so a mistake gets caught before the next step builds on it. There are also some small scripts that check your links and draw your whole workspace as a graph you can click through (very basic graph, obsidian is better for viz ill make a nicer one later) github.com/RinDig/icm-architect Install steps for each agent are in the README. Try it on something you do every week and tell me where it breaks.

Hey y’all, I am just a single dad working in the tech field right now. On the side I am trying to build a company at first I was building custom software for like 2 people and at this point. I do not know how to talk to people very well, sell a thing or find the right idea to build. What do you all think? I work like 50+ hours on top of parenting Hahaha. I did use AI to reverse engineer the Microsoft Zune so I could use it on Linux. But for project and income I am lost, I am very into AI , just not sure how to turn it into actual profit.

Hi everyone! I had to share my latest project. I am so proud of it and hope you enjoy it! Thanks to @Jake Van Clief and his crew for creating the community. I feel like nothing is impossible to create. I had Claude code write the next part: I gave Claude one sentence. Two days later it was a 9.5 minute animated film. My idea was one line: "a child's room where different art styles are used." What came out is "The paper plane": a 9 minute 31 second animated film with 25 art styles, 8 narrator voices and an original soundtrack. Not one image or video generator was used. Every frame is drawn in code. Here is how it came together, and why ICM is the reason it worked. THE IDEA I had a folder of 84 reference art styles (sumi-e ink, claymation, film noir, Win95, synthwave and so on) and one picture in my head: a child's room where every object is a door into another style. The camera dives into the TV and you are inside a video game. The poster on the wall turns out to be a whole world. One style draws an arcade machine, and inside it the next style is already playing. THE BRAINSTORM Claude ran a structured brainstorm with me (the superpowers brainstorming skill): one question at a time, and a quick mockup of the room so I could see the camera route. Out of that came four "hand-off moves" that join one style to the next: - Dive in: through a screen into its world. - Drawn doorway: my arcade idea. - Pull back out: the world was the poster on the wall all along. - Carried thread: something crosses the seam from one style to the next. Then Claude pitched me three stories: 1. The paper plane: a plane that flies from style to style. 2. The bedtime question: a child asks something, and the room answers. 3. How pictures learned to move: from shadow puppets to 3D games. I loved all three and could not pick one. So I asked Claude to weave them into one story, and to drop the 2 to 3 minute limit we had planned, because a great story needs time to play out.

Hey everyone, gather round. This one matters. 👋 We've been watching something, and it's time to name it. 🧭 The ICM posts, the AI breakdowns, the promo threads: solid work. Real value. No fluff. But some of those posts have a quiet second job: funneling traffic to something the author gets paid for. 🚨 Let's be precise about the line: Someone shares a great external resource? Fine. That's the good stuff. Someone shares their own work with no money in it, a free repo or an open tool? Fine too. That's building in public. Someone links their own COMPENSATED property (affiliate, referral, lead capture) so they personally benefit? Different animal entirely. 🐍 That's not sharing. That's extraction with a costume on. And it costs us. Every time: 📉 Trust drops. 🤐 High-quality members post less. 🔍 The signal gets harder to find. 📉 The feed gets noisier and less worth showing up for, even when the writing itself looks good. ➖➖➖ 📏 THE RULE, NOW OFFICIAL Simple. And let's be clear about what it is NOT. 🔗 Sharing useful external resources like a YouTube video, a guide, a tool you love? TOTALLY FINE. Keep them coming. That's the good stuff. What's NOT allowed: 1️⃣ LINKING ANYTHING YOU PERSONALLY BENEFIT FROM: affiliate cuts, referral bounties, lead capture. If personal gain is the engine, it doesn't fly here. 2️⃣ POSTS THAT ONLY EXIST TO FUNNEL TRAFFIC TO THAT STUFF. If the value lives behind your link instead of in the post, that's an ad, not a contribution. This applies to posts and comments, everywhere except the Connection Hub. Wanna pitch or network? Take it to the Connection Hub, and keep your links in your PROFILE. People click your name. They find it. That's the clean path. Think you're the rare exception? Ask a moderator first (@David Vogel or @Shirsho Guha). ⚠️ Fair warning: the default is no. ➖➖➖ ⚖️ WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU CROSS THE LINE No drama. No mystery. Just math: ⚠️ FIRST TIME: a moderator reaches out, and you edit or remove the post yourself. ⚠️ SECOND TIME: the post comes down, and you get a formal warning.

But it's up to you to make a map for those who come after and if there is no map, you must get lost to make one. Build a folder-based cartographer that can walk a body of work and leave a map a later reader can wander and show what that map is. The later reader is often an AI. Sometimes it is a new person. Same map. Same job. Not why it failed. Not how to fix it. Not a tour of how the week goes. What the nouns are. How they move. What else moves if you touch one. What is live, what is leftover, and what is a ghost with a name and no wiring. This week's deliverable is one cartographer folder someone can drop into a Claude project, point at a real body of work, and get back a map a cold reader can enter without reading the whole thing. 🎯 PICK YOUR TERRITORY Pick a body of work you have actually been inside. Something a new person or a cold model would get lost in. Something someone will change, not something you will only describe. A few sparks: 💻 A repo you own. Even a small one. The map is for the next developer, or the next session, that has never seen it. 📂 A client delivery folder a VA or a contractor has to inherit next month. 🧩 A Make, GHL, or n8n pack someone else will edit without you on the call. 📒 An Obsidian or Notion vault a collaborator has to add to without breaking the spine. 🧾 The live records behind how a job gets quoted, approved, and invoiced in your shop. The files. The objects. Not the story of a bad month. 🎓 A course or L&D library someone will update after you. 🏭 The asset and work-order objects in a plant system you actually touch. The more specific, the better. Maps how our business works is too broad. Maps the five objects a new hire has to understand before they touch the invoicing folder is right. 🧠 WHAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY LEARNING ICM has six forms. You have been living in the first ones. Pipeline. Coach. Editor. Diagnostician.
