🏆 WEEKLY COMP #3: THE SPECIALIST 🏆
💰 $325 CASH PRIZE 💰 That's a full year of Premium. Win this and your membership pays for itself. 📋 THE CHALLENGE You just got hired again. Different client this time. Meet Sarah, a freelance copywriter who's drowning in context-switching. 📎 Download the full client brief attached to this post. Short version: She works with three types of clients (SaaS founders, ecommerce brands, local service businesses) and starts from scratch every project. She doesn't need another tool. She needs a system. Your job is to build her a folder-based AI specialist she can drop into any Claude project. The folder IS the deliverable. 🗂️ THIS WEEK YOU LEARN ICM Up until now, comps have been "build a thing." This week you utilize the methodology taught throughout the community. 🧠 Folders as architecture. That's it. That's the whole concept this week. Your specialist is a folder with five things: - 📄 identity.md (who they are) - 📐 rules.md (how they respond) - 💬 examples.md (what good looks like) - 📚 reference/ (source material) - 📖 README.md (how to use it) Drop the folder into a Claude project. Claude becomes the specialist. Reusable. Shareable. Portable. 🎯 PICK YOUR SPECIALIST Don't pick copywriting. That's Sarah's example. Pick something YOU would actually use. A few sparks to get you thinking: - A salary negotiation coach - A meal planner that knows your dietary restrictions - A code reviewer for your stack - A real estate market analyst for your city - A technical recruiter screener - A grant writer for nonprofits in your space The more specific, the better. "Marketing expert" is not a specialist. "B2B email expert for enterprise SaaS targeting CFOs" is. 💼 WHY THIS ONE LANDS ON YOUR RESUME Real talk. Winning a comp in a Skool community doesn't get you a job by itself. But shipping a working folder-based AI specialist with a clean README and a public repo? That's a portfolio piece.

So, I just used this specialist for a tool i am looking to develop, and after running an analysis on the idea, and asking a few question, it just started building (which while the result was good, it wasn't what I wanted first up). So I edited to rules.md to add a line to "what I don't do : just start writing code. this environment is for exploring. If the user want's to start building they will confirm, or I can chack if they would like to start building something." I was surprised that it had just started building without really seeing if that was what I wanted to do, but that's when I realised I hadn't given it the guardrail!

@Alyshia Perri yeah, I think so. Either way it doesn’t change the build or folder structure. I used my specialist in both Claude ai just in its own ‘project’ by just dropping all the individual files into the instructions. And then I also used it in Claude code not inside any Project as its own specialist.
What I 'got' from upgrading to premium...
background: SO, I've been in this community for about 3-4 weeks now. I started getting deep into Claude a few months ago, and build a web app game, and a sales pipeline for it. every post on my instagram feed became some hype merchant trying to draw you in with some impressive and not realistic way that they were using claude. Then I saw a post from Jake about folder structure, and I thought "my Ai usage is a mess, anything that can help me systemise it is great". I still didn't know what Jake was actually offering, but he wasn't hyping it up, just talking real. So i jumped into this 'course' and started at the beginning. Straight away, I got so much value from really understanding what Ai actually is! I finished the first 2 modules, and then Jake put up a 5th May sale, which just made the premium pricing totally worth it! I jumped on board, mostly because I had already gotten so much value from the free content. but then before I even dove into the next level of content, my brain had a slight shift. I suddenly saw this place for what it was; a community! it became a place to not only get, but to give back. my comments on other peoples posts went up and my general interactions with the community. Now, you don't need to pay to become a part of the community, but for me, that created the biggest mindset shift. probably in a few weeks I would have got it anyway. so, thus far, that has been the biggest piece that I have 'gotten' from upgrading to premium... a mindset shift to actually invest into this community!
🏁 60/30/10 Lesson 1.1 Check-In
Five agents. 160 hours down to 5 minutes. $7,500/month against a $39K-$59K traditional team. And the AI? Maybe 20 lines per agent. This lesson breaks open a real system I built for a mining compliance client in the DRC. Every component mapped to the ratio. Every pricing decision shaped by the architecture. The course companion has five exercises you run with Claude using your own work. Not hypotheticals. Your actual systems. Your actual pricing questions. If you've gone through it, which exercise hit hardest? 👇

@Florian Paul I agree. I also haven't run the prompt yet, but the reference to VigilOre doesn't have a 'reference' point...
2nd update: WEBSITE HERO DESIGN DONE!
This was such a challenge. I had a idea for a hero landing page design but it was not coming together as I hoped. It got to the point where i was using GEMINI, CLAUDE and CODEX to "just get something close it". Alot of back and forth prompting, folder structure fell apart the first time. I just had to keep engineering it. Tried it forward and reverse engineering it. I was patient but very persistent. I COULD HAVE BEEEN BETTER ORGANIZING AND STRUCTURING MY FOLDERS. It seemed like there was no hope. It seemed no matter how good i got them, the design was just odd, not as direct and very confusing. WHAT DID THIS DO....? ACTUALLY, it inspired me to create my own tools and workflow systems so my designs can manifest exactly how i please and i can have more control of the details. Something ill be speaking and following @Ari Evergreen and @David Vogel about. And of course more videos from @Jake Van Clief. I went into gemini and created parts of the design and had it add controls for it so i can get it looking how i wanted, then took the code and added them to my files or my prompt. This seemed to really advance the design forward. i need to find a better way to update the files. This design was not easy! I want to thank @Shirsho Guha @Marcos Accioly and all others for the feedback on the my other post for my first website. You can see the old version and 1st post about it here: https://www.skool.com/quantum-quill-lyceum-1116/project-2-personal-website-sheesh?p=8319ce31 Definitely learned alot and look forward to adjusting for better workflow and designs. V5 with HERO DESIGN https://www.koachkev.io/

Really love the design of the site! one critical thought about the content is that it's not super clear what you are actually offering. and maybe that is part of the coaching space, but i'm left feeling a little confused if you are offering coaching for mens' wellbeing/life coaching or coaching for building tools. maybe it's the overuse of the word 'systems' that's throwing me off a little. Because it is a very Tech looking site, having the words about 'building systems' immediatley makes me think about building software systems. I know that it's not the only use of the word, and systems are just repeatable processes to acheive a goal, but there's just something that is throwing me off a little. Anyway, that's being super critical, and you can take it or leave it with no offence from me. But, I do LOVE the dodecadon? animation!

@Kevin Carrasco Maybe "Frameworks"? or "principles". I feel like they are more aligned with personal development. or even the word "Code" has a strong masculine alignment. "Men's transformation through spiritual alignment, discipline, and self-awareness — a code, not a course."
🏁 Playbooks 3.1 Check-In
You watched Jake build and deploy a full website in under 10 prompts. Let's see what stuck before you try it yourself. 💬 Drop Your Answer in the Comments 1. What's one thing you'd include in your first prompt that the video showed gets missed? (Logo format? Image direction? Color palette? Form handling?) 2. Which "Key Moment" timestamp are you rewatching before your first build? 3. If you've already built something: How many prompts did it take you? The video benchmark is under 10. If you hit 15+, what would you front-load next time? ✅ Action Step Post your live GitHub Pages URL in the comments when you finish. Include one sentence about what you'd change on the next iteration. Stuck on a deployment error? Screenshot it and post here before burning tokens. Someone else probably hit the same one. Quick Gut Check Where does the build actually start?

Great Video, I really learnt a lot from it about Github and also better prompting! I have a question: Why did you do the initial prompt in claude ai, and not just straight in Claude Code from the outset to build the md file? I'm still trying to work out when is the best time to use each interface.
