New and need some advice
Hi guys, I'm new here. I introduced myself a little bit ago but I build crazy custom cars. I own Big Shot Rides in Coconut Creek, Florida, and I'm learning AI and file structures through this community. I have a lot of open projects and I would like to restructure them correctly. I learn by visually seeing how things are built, hence why I build cars. I'm wondering. I'm sure many others have done this but I tried looking it up. I didn't see any responses to this question or anything listed. I had clude read Jake's ideology paperwork amd the course that explains the ICM to Claude and I started a new code session with claude using ICM method it learned, and teach me along the way? Is that a good idea or a bad idea? What do you guys think? I was going to have it start going through my other projects and see if I can get my system organized better and explain to me along the way the reasoning it classified the information and routed it to the ICM file structure it created.

@Chris Joerger hey Chris, good idea, thats pretty much how i moved my own setup into ICM. a few things i wish i knew first though. make a copy of everything before Claude touches it, or have it copy files into the new structure instead of moving them. if something lands in the wrong place u still have the original. do one project at a time Chris. ask Claude to show u the plan first, the full folder tree it wants to build and why each file goes where, before it moves a single thing. since u learn visually, have it draw the tree out so u can see the whole thing like a build sheet. u approve it, then it does it. if any project has live code or a website running, be careful there. moving those folders can break paths, so let that one wait till ur comfortable. and have it write a short CLAUDE.md in each folder explaining what lives there, thats ur map later. ur on the right track Chris.

@Chris Joerger hey Chris, i get the overwhelmed part, i had stuff spread across diff machines too when i started. something that worked for me was not moving anything yet, just making a list first. pick one computer as ur home base. then go machine by machine and write down every project, where it lives, if its local, git or cloud, and if its still active. have Claude turn that into one inventory file so u can see it all on one screen, like a parts list before a build. then pull it in by type Chris. git ones r easy, u just clone them onto the home base. cloud ones u download or export. local ones copy over on a drive. dont try to do all of it in one day tbh. get the list done first and the rest gets way less scary. Also, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or confusion, or if you need a technical hand. Here's my Email: mofedulalamjoy09@gmail.com

I've noticed something lately — there's this weird barrier when I'm reading AI-generated text. I just don't want to read it. But if it's human-written? No problem. It's not that the AI is giving me bad information. It's more like... the writing style itself creates friction. Too polished, too formal, or just predictable in a way my brain picks up on. I'm curious if anyone else is running into this, especially if you're using AI for client work, internal docs, or anything people actually have to read. And if you've found ways to fix it — whether that's prompt tricks, editing workflows, or just accepting that AI is better for structure than final copy — I'd love to hear it.

@Abdulrehman Sagheer hey Abdulrehman, same here. my brain skips anything that sounds like a press release. what fixed it for me was a rule file, not prompt tricks. i keep output rules in my global CLAUDE.md. lead with the answer, short sentences, plain words, no recap, no em dashes, and a list of banned phrases. every session follows it without me asking. its loosely based on the Karpathy style guidelines people share on github, andrej-karpathy-skills is the repo. those r written for code, but the same idea works for writing. say the simple thing and stop. for client copy Abdulrehman, Matt Pocock's skills repo on github, mattpocock/skills, has writing skills like writing-shape and writing-beats. they dont write from nothing. u dump ur own messy notes and it shapes them, so it still sounds like u. last thing, i always do one edit pass out loud. if i wouldnt say it, it goes.
What Would You Pay to Reduce Your AI Token Costs by 30–70%?
Serious question for everyone running Claude, ChatGPT, AI agents, or automated workflows: **What if I could help you reduce your token consumption by 30–70% without sacrificing output quality or productivity?** Not by simply using fewer features, but by analyzing and optimizing your actual system architecture, agent orchestration, context management, model routing, and workflows. I'm developing something called **THE GERMAN STANDARD — German Agentic Systems Assurance (GASA)**. A structured technical audit and optimization framework based on established engineering principles and aligned with relevant international ISO standards. The idea is simple: 1. Audit your existing AI setup. 2. Identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and unnecessary token consumption. 3. Establish a measurable performance baseline. 4. Optimize your system. 5. Run identical benchmark tasks before and after. 6. Document the actual savings and verify that quality hans't declined. The 30–70% range is a proposed optimization target, not a guaranteed result. Actual savings would depend on your setup and would need to be demonstrated. **Now here's my question:** If I could demonstrate a measurable 30–70% reduction in token consumption on your actual workloads, with comparable results, what would that be worth to you? Would you prefer a one-time audit fee, a complete optimization package, or a performance-based model where I receive a percentage of the money you actually save? I'm not asking what you'd pay for another AI course. **I'm asking what you'd pay for a measurable improvement to a system you're already spending money on.** Would love to hear actual numbers.

@Pascal Pollack hey Pascal, honest answer from a solo builder. im on a flat Claude subscription, so cutting tokens doesnt save me money, it only means i hit the usage limit less. for me thats worth a one time audit at most, maybe a couple hundred dollars, not a monthly fee. the percentage of savings model makes more sense for teams paying API bills. if a company spends a few thousand a month on tokens, 30% back is a real number they can see on an invoice, and paying u a cut of that is an easy yes. on a subscription there is no saving to take a cut from. in my experience the before and after benchmark is the part that would actually sell it Pascal. most people dont know where their tokens go at all. even a free mini audit on one workflow would prob get u ur first case study faster than pricing questions. id aim it at API spenders first Pascal.

@Pascal Pollack You are welcome, brother. About the one thing I would really take a look at: using the smartest zone of my agent (that is, the first 10% to 15%), my initial skill files and the other files (Claude.md-type files) are not bloated.
Camera to YouTube / Instagram pipeline??
I've had a couple of my content creator clients reach out using ICM as our default staging architecture and process. Does anybody have an existing working/functional pipeline and which tools are you using? I'd love to know what others are doing before I try to build this myself. Mind you we don't want to be building video content out of nothing. We want to be editing video so that's the clarification. I see a lot of posts and a lot of content around building AI videos and I really don't want to do that necessarily in this use case. I want to manipulate our existing video files. We started looking at connecting to CapCut via a CapCut extension/MCP. That's not really supported by CapCut but is community-supported. Anyway just wondering whatever others are doing before I go headfirst into trying to solve this problem myself. I appreciate any and all feedback, thoughts, and considerations.

@Ron Davis hey Ron, id skip CapCut. no official API means the community MCP can break on any update and ur stuck mid client project. my own shorts pipeline runs on Claude Code + Remotion, and for real footage this is the stack id use. Claude Code is really good at driving ffmpeg, so cuts, 9:16 crops, joins and audio levels all happen from plain commands. heres how id stage it in ICM Ron. stage 1, Whisper makes a transcript with word timestamps. stage 2, Claude reads the transcript and picks the cuts, writes them to a file. auto-editor is a nice free tool here for removing silences. stage 3, ffmpeg cuts, Remotion adds captions and graphics on top of the real clips. stage 4, a human watches it, dont skip that. stage 5, upload thru the YouTube Data API and the Instagram Graph API, both support posting video. the transcript is the trick, Claude edits text way better than it edits video. lmk how far u get Ron.
Looking for experience: Claude Code + WordPress relaunch for a non-profit
I've been asked to rebuild a non-profit's website with Claude Code. The current site runs on Drupal (swiss hosting): multilingual, several hundred pages. The plan is to cut the content by a quarter to a third, rebuild in WordPress with the Avada page builder (the client already works in it), and hand it over so their communications team can edit it on their own. An existing job platform and a chatbot need to be integrated. The timeline is tight, with most of the work in December. I'm comfortable with the content and structure side and with directing Claude Code in an ICM-style folder setup. I'm less sure about the WordPress side, and I'm honestly not yet sure I should take this on. Has anyone done something similar? I'd be glad to hear: - How well does Claude Code work with a page builder like Avada or Elementor, compared with a block theme? - How did you migrate content: WP-CLI, REST API, the MCP adapter? - How did you split hosting, updates and maintenance after handover? - What took longer than you expected? I'm really temptaded to to take this job. Because it is also for a good cause. budget is 15k (CHF) - most of it needs to be spend in 2026 and launch of the website is planned for April/May 2027. Grateful for any feedback/advice. Cheers, Till

@Till Trojer hey Till, id take it, the timeline is actually comfortable if launch is April/May. on the page builder part, Avada saves pages as long fusion shortcodes inside the post content. Claude Code can write those but its fragile and hard to review. what id do Till: build 4 or 5 page templates by hand in Avada using its Layouts, then have Claude only push clean content into them. the comms team then edits text inside templates they already know. for migration id pull from Drupal with its JSON:API module, let Claude write a script that maps fields and cuts the content, then push with WP-CLI. its faster than REST for several hundred pages and easy to rerun. the parts i would budget extra time for: linking translations in WPML or Polylang, a full 301 redirect map for every old url so u dont lose google traffic, and the client review rounds on content. for handover, put hosting and updates on a small monthly care plan, seperate from the 15k. good cause and a good project Till.
