📦 EVERY ENTRANT GETS A FEEDBACK FILE 📦 🔍 HOW WE READ THESE Every repo was cloned and pinned to the last commit that was public at the deadline, so nobody was judged on work that landed after the clock. Six repos had later commits. We read the earlier ones. Then we read file by file. Identity, rules, examples, the reference layer, the code. Every self-test in the field was executed on our machine, not taken on trust. And for five folders we did the thing the brief describes: dropped the folder in, wrote a draft that appears nowhere in the repo, worked it through as the specialist, then ran the entrant's own checker on what came back. All five passed their own gate. The landing pages were the doorway. The judging happened inside the folders. 📦 COMP #9: THE EDITOR - THE VAULT 📚 WHAT THE FIELD TAUGHT Three lines split forty-two builds: ✅ Enforcement moved into code. Comp #8's lesson landed hard. Nine entries ship a checker you can run without an API key. Across forty-two rules files, the phrase "use good judgment" appears zero times. ✅ The disguised ask is the real test. Almost everyone refuses "just rewrite it." The builds that went furthest anticipated the request wearing a disguise: ask me questions and assemble it, give me two options, tell me what it should say instead. ✅ The examples file is where methodology broke. Six entries shipped an examples.md larger than their rules.md, holding voice, philosophy and calibration that belonged in identity or reference. Last cycle it was the empty memory. This cycle it was the overloaded examples file. 📦 COMP #9: THE EDITOR - THE VAULT 🥇 THE WINNER @Marcelo Michelsohn. The FICC editor, a proposal editor for one municipal culture fund in Campinas, Brazil. Here is why. Three real proponents ran it on real proposals, with consent, on 22 July, inside the fund's live submission window with money on the line. The method was written down before the rounds ran, so the receipts could not be shaped afterward. Inputs are preserved byte for byte, outputs pasted verbatim, and the errors are still in the transcripts because the method said to leave them there.

I did my first jump into video last week, and I thought I would share the basic journey. I took about seven images down here in San Diego, and then did my best to find a way to have a video of my car accelerating forward - this is probably not as simple of an ask as I thought it was. Basic Lessons: ============ - There is no substitute for the time it takes to work through a few of the video models. - I had a few - oh that's what the kids use moments. - I am glad I use google workspace because I had some free tokens for google labs. - This got me connected to using Claude connected to Chrome - straight from the classroom here. - I also bought some api credits into Higgsfield.

Gather round, Clief Notes crew — we’re opening The Legends: a classroom on the Frontier built around two gunslingers who deliver real systems, not hype. Each legend has a dedicated folder packed with signature builds, frameworks, and battle-tested wisdom. Start where the dust is thickest for you. 📐 Bas Rosario – The Wise Architect’s Library Master planner and blueprint boss. Bas designs for deep understanding and human–AI collaboration so you stay in control — frameworks, systems thinking, responsible AI, and work that still feels human. 👷‍♂️ Don Roy – The Master Builder’s Forge Hammer in hand, fire in the forge. Don turns ideas into working tools: automation, quality control, content systems, Remotion + AI builds, and anti-slop standards that keep what you ship durable. These two are the heartbeat of this classroom — grinding, growing, and lifting the whole crew. Your move: Pick a folder. Open it. Start forging. https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/b5143824?md=61c684c877384eefbd11c804f83aac05 Who are you riding with first — Architect or Builder? Drop a 🤠 below and go make something that lasts.

The other day I went to make a presentation and I thought to open PowerPoint. Then I considered all the work I’ve been doing lately with the same content system that the presentation is about. I opened Claude and sent it this prompt: “can you make a presentation about five minutes about how my content engine works? styled in my branding and aniamtion style. im thinking html based maybe? something i can open and click through like slides but i want clean smooth transitions between slides not fades and nothign choppy or abrupt. each slide should have active assets or animations to draw interest and highlight the topics” A few minutes later i had the presentation in the video. I don’t know if PowerPoint will die, but they have some catching up to do.

A little over a month ago i quit my job to fulltime pursue creating a web based character creator for AI agents and humans to quickly and easily deliver human characters to their games! You can now send your agent to creategamecharacters.ai and it can create realistic looking characters for your games. You can use AI to create outfits for your characters as well as upload a picture of yourself to make yourself a character in your game! Not only that, but the site is filled with docs so agents can easily make in-game character creators so your players can make their own characters like in skyrim or the sims. This would not have been possible without first a good understanding of context routing techniques and the documentation the agents get from the tool is based around that same principle. I will be continuing development on this and I hope it is a tool people find useful!
