🏆 WEEKLY COMP #10: THE DIAGNOSTICIAN 🏆
🎟️ PRIZE: FREE SEAT IN THE LYCEUM 🎟️ Pick your cohort. Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. 📋 THE CHALLENGE Build a folder-based AI diagnostician that reads something broken and tells you WHY it's broken. Not how to fix it. Why it failed. This week's deliverable is one diagnostician folder that someone could drop into a Claude project and use to figure out why something in their world isn't working. 🎯PICK YOUR DOMAIN The domain is yours. Pick something specific. Pick a failure you've actually seen happen. A few sparks to get you thinking: - 📉 Why a landing page isn't converting - 📧 Why cold emails to a specific buyer aren't getting replies - 📋 Why a product spec keeps getting pushed back by engineering - 📄 Why a resume isn't getting callbacks in a specific industry - 🚪 Why users drop off at one step of an onboarding flow - 💸 Why a pricing page isn't converting trials - 🎥 Why a YouTube video underperformed the channel average - 🤝 Why a sales deal stalled after the demo - 📱 Why an app's retention craters in week two The more specific, the better. "Diagnoses marketing problems" is too broad. "Diagnoses why cold emails to enterprise IT buyers get opened but never answered" is right. 🗂️THE METHODOLOGY If this is your first comp, welcome. Here's what you need to know: This week (and every week) you're learning interpretable context methodology. Folders as architecture. Each file does one job well. Your diagnostician is a folder with five things: - 📄 identity.md (who the diagnostician is, what they diagnose) - 📐 rules.md (how they diagnose: what they look at, how they separate cause from symptom) - 💬 examples.md (2-3 example diagnoses showing the reasoning) - 📚 reference/ (common failure modes, diagnostic frameworks, benchmarks) - 📖 README.md (how to use it, what to feed it) Drop the folder into a Claude project. Claude becomes the diagnostician. Reusable. Shareable. Portable. 🔥 THE ANGLE THIS WEEK A diagnostician is NOT an editor. Last comp was The Editor. That one critiques craft. It looks at a draft and says "this part is weak, go fix it."

this was so hard for me to even wrap my head around as i feel like ive got no concrete knowledge base in any industry at all and literally nothing to go off, but i tried to build something for the experience anyway, they're fun! Repo: https://github.com/DooceyBoy/conversion-autopsy Live demo: https://dooceyboy.github.io/conversion-autopsy/ Conversion Autopsy diagnoses one thing: why an indie or solo-founder SaaS product got real trial or freemium signups and none of them converted to paying. It's for founders who have some evidence of what happened, even messy or incomplete, and want the one real cause instead of a checklist or a fix.
Weekly Comp #9 - The Editor Compilation.
The week's editor competition has been been, i wanted to go through the comments to learn from other peoples work but 174 comments read was much for my attention span 😀. So i decided to build a compilation of the submissions and share here. Hope you find it as helpful as me. 1. @Ron Rath - GitHub Link: https://github.com/ronrath/engt581-artifact-editor - Link: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/weekly-comp-9-the-editor?p=3548224b - What it does: The Review Gate is an artifact editor designed for ENGT 58100, a graduate AI-in-manufacturing course at Purdue. Built using the ICM methodology, it acts as a human review gate for the course's own student submissions. It evaluates weekly artifacts such as cited workplace briefs, annotated bibliographies, AI workflows, and capstone projects to ensure they meet course standards. 2. @Toby Iverson - GitHub Link: https://github.com/BytesFromToby/for-the-record - Link: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/weekly-comp-9-the-editor?p=3548224b - What it does: "For the Record" is an objective editing tool designed to help individuals prepare oral testimony for city councils, school boards, or zoning hearings. It helps users stay on time and focused when delivering emotionally charged or frustrating public speeches. The editor reviews draft testimony to ensure the message remains clear, concise, and impactful within strict time limits. 3. @Natalee Champlin - GitHub Link: https://github.com/nataleechamplin/the-constraint-editor - Link: https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/weekly-comp-9-the-editor?p=f5ad4805

🏆 WEEKLY COMP #9: THE EDITOR 🏆
🎟️ PRIZE: FREE SEAT IN THE LYCEUM 🎟️ Pick your cohort. Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. 🎯 PICK YOUR DOMAIN The domain is yours. Pick something specific. Pick something you'd actually use. A few sparks to get you thinking: - 💻 Code review editor for a specific language and level (junior TypeScript, senior Python) - 📊 Pitch deck editor for pre-seed founders - 🎨 Grant application editor for arts nonprofits - 📄 Resume editor for career switchers into tech - 📰 Op-ed editor for policy publications - 🎙️ Podcast script editor for interview shows - ⚖️ Legal brief editor for civil litigation - 📋 Product spec editor for early-stage PMs - 🎓 Academic paper editor for one specific field The more specific, the better. "Writing editor" is too broad. "Op-ed editor for tech policy publications targeting a policy audience" is right. 🗂️ THE METHODOLOGY If this is your first comp, welcome. Here's what you need to know: This week (and every week) you're learning interpretable context methodology. Folders as architecture. Each file does one job well. Your editor is a folder with five things: - 📄 identity.md (who the editor is, what work they review) - 📐 rules.md (how they critique) - 💬 examples.md (what good critique looks like) - 📚 reference/ (style guides, checklists, frameworks the editor uses) - 📖 README.md (how to use it) Drop the folder into a Claude project. Claude becomes the editor. Reusable. Shareable. Portable. 🔥 THE ANGLE THIS WEEK An editor is NOT a rewriter. An editor doesn't do the work for you. An editor surfaces what's weak and pushes you to fix it. That distinction is the whole assignment this week. When someone hands the editor a draft, the editor shouldn't produce a "fixed" version. The editor should point at the three lines that don't work, explain why, and hand it back to the writer to solve. ✍️ Generic feedback like "consider strengthening your intro" is a fail. Specific feedback like "your intro assumes the reader already knows what a Series A is, but this pub is read by generalists, so lead with the stakes instead of the jargon" is what a real editor does.

Need feedback on first thing ive built
Hello everyone, i jus wanted to make a post about something i built for the comp #9 but really its more than for the compeititon for me as its my first time building and pushing something to github as like public and you can all see it, its been really fun and exciting i recommend everyone get involved when you can, i posted a longer explanation in the competition section so i dont want to write a huge paragraph here also, i just want some honest feedback on how easy it is to follow and understand, its called cold-read, it analyses existing ICM structure, identifies weaknesses in its instructions, routing, responsibilities and handoffs and then explains what the builder needs to decide without rewriting it. longer explanation : https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/weekly-comp-9-the-editor?p=3548224b landing page : https://dooceyboy.github.io/cold-read/ appreciate everyones time and feedback so much , thank you :)

so before starting any kind of project, the folder system and .md files are basically mandatory to increase your functionability all round? better input, better output, more understanding, improving the space claude works in basically giving it a catalogue of instructions and decision making tasks making it function better, but then how would you go about implementing this into a business for a client? does it work better in one kind of niche compared to others? in my mind it feels like it would benefit a more established kind of industrial sized company compared to like a roofing company for example, are there some companies or places where youd steer away from this concept?

@Amber Holden Hey amber thanks for spending the time messaging i appreciate it 🙏, I like your thought process behind it and good analogy, the way I perceive it is like, there is only one ai at any given time, inside the project, its the same ai, same LLM, so in this case well say claude is the ai/LLM but it takes on the role of whatever room it steps into (rooms are folders) so say you walk into a working office space(load up claude in your folder/project), theres one floor , first you just see a desk secretary (root agent), you haven't entered any rooms yet, the desk secretary (agent) already has an entire map infront of him, he knows it every single time you walk into the office (load up claude) this map (depending on how you structure your agents.md) contains precise and accurate information of the entire floor, what departments there are, who works in there, what their roles are, what they should be relied on for, routing tables, rooms, governance etc, you ask a question, or tell it an idea or give it an instruction, within seconds the secretary refers to its map infront of it, understands how your input is relevant to a specific room, claude then enters that room, and becomes the agents.md within it (a new role instead of the secretary) it doesn't bring along the information from the desk, it doesn't need it at all times, only when its relied on, if it doesnt belong in the room its currently in, it will go back to the desk to find out where it should belong. Inside the new room it entered, it becomes this new agent, with a whole new personality, skill set, instructions within that department (could be lead generation for example), you then complete some tasks that belong there in accordance with its instructions and guard rails, if you then , inside the lead gen room, asked something about marketing skills for example, the lead gen agent doesnt guess, it acknowledges it isnt within its skill set or capabilities (doesnt contain enough information to assist inside the agents.md file) and simply sends claude back to the secretary, same ai, same LLM, taking on different roles as it reads different agents files within certain rooms, the secretary will then route claude to the marketing room, where it then reads the agents.md file within that room, and takes on the role of that space, its one ai, one model, becoming multiple "agents" "workers" whatever you want to call them, as it moves across the project, its not multiple different agents all living and working at the same time, just pure organised calculated orchestration, but the true value and power of the system comes from the Intel and input you provide the agents within every area , so where im at now with it is basically realising I am not a proffesional in any department or skill or trade , so I dont really have enough intelligence to provide an agent with proper true specific work skills and that to make it the best possible thing, so I do think yhe more skilled and educated the human behind the system, the more talented and capable agents they will build for sure.. so using these principles i think i now realise that they can be applied into anything as long as theres a good enough understanding on the way that business or even individual thinks or runs processes, what we learn in here I think is to bring value from a source , one person, 10 people, a whole business, and use ai to amplify and better the tasks that already exist as effectively as we can to improve their workflows and prioritise their time and skill where necessary , bit of a long answer sorry I kind of got carried away lol
