Buzz
Has anyone here been using Buzz yet? The idea of having humans and AI agents working together in shared channels (instead of jumping between Slack, GitHub, and separate chat windows) seems really interesting. I’m curious about real-world experience though: - Is it actually useful? - What workflows are you using? - Any surprises, limitations, or things you wish you knew before trying it? Would love to hear from anyone who’s spent some time with it.

@Peder Halseide yeah I thought it was a cool idea but stopped using it after it was taking forever to respond
Splitting a project into separate folders per function, or keeping it all in one?
I organize in folders like everyone else here, but I'm stuck on something. What I'm really trying to get to is being able to have one agent working on one task/department while another agent works on a completely different task/department at the same time — without either one pulling in the other's context, and without burning through tokens re-explaining or re-loading things that aren't relevant to what it's actually doing. I'm about to add a landing page, Terms/Privacy, and marketing on top of an existing app, and I want to know whether to give each its own folder or fold them into the app's existing one. My app is set up with its own folder, its own running notes, one thing actively being worked on at a time. I now need to add work that isn't the app itself: a landing page, Terms/Privacy, and marketing copy. Different content, different audience, different pace of change than the app — and importantly, nobody's touching the same files for these at the same time. That's exactly the situation where I'd want to point a separate agent at each one in parallel — one working on the landing page, another drafting the Terms of Service, another on the app itself (keeping their own feedback loops) — without any of them needing to load or wade through the others' notes and files just to get started. My instinct is that this argues for giving each one its own folder, all sitting side by side, rather than cramming all of it into the app's existing folder and juggling several things "in progress" there at once, where one agent's context ends up mixed in with another's. Two things I'd like input on: 1. Shared facts. A few things are true everywhere — the product's name, a one-line description, what it does, who it's for, pricing, what data it collects. My plan is to write those down once, in a shared folder that each department can read, and have the isolated department folders point back to that shared context if there's something worth sharing across functions. When one folder finishes something the others need (like the legal folder finishing the Terms of Service, which the landing page then needs to link to), it gets handed over once as a finished document, not kept magically in sync. Does that "write once, hand off when done" approach hold up in practice, or does it fall apart over time?

@Aaron Kruger it’s going to take me a second to digest this. Thank you for taking the time to make a thoughtful response.
Does a strong ICM layer make new model releases less important?
If your system already does context management, retrieval, memory, and orchestration well — does upgrading from Model A to Model B actually move the needle? Or are we hitting a point where the system around the model matters more than the model itself? Personally, I’ve started caring less about which model is “best.” I often run two models at once when I get stuck on something — not because one is smarter, but because I end up acting as a mediator between their ideas, pulling the best parts from each to solve the problem. The model feels less like the bottleneck and more like one input into a process I’m steering. Curious where you land Are you still upgrading models the day they drop, or has that urgency faded? Has better context/retrieval ever made a “worse” model outperform a “better” one in your stack? Anyone else running multiple models side by side and playing mediator like this?

@WishRig Computer Valid point, and it’s probably true at the frontier — serious autonomous coding and automation likely does need the latest models. But I think for most people, this isn’t purely a capability question, it’s an adoption question. Trust in AI varies a lot depending on who’s using it and how much control they want to keep. Example: small business owner who’s satisfied with a good ICM setup because they’re still the one making the calls and guiding each step That connects to a bigger point: most valuable business tools aren’t solving novel, cutting-edge problems. They’re eliminating repetitive, error-prone, well-defined work — data entry, formatting, sorting, first-draft writing, scheduling, categorization. That kind of work doesn’t need frontier reasoning. It needs reliability, consistency, and speed. A well-scoped ICM system running on a “good enough” model can nail that — or better yet, help you build something deterministic around it, with tests in place that flag when something’s off and needs your attention. That often beats a frontier model that’s overpowered for the task and harder to control predictably. Simple example: document generation. You could have a model generate the same type of document from scratch every time — burning tokens, re-reasoning through formatting and structure on every run, with some variance each time. Or you could build a tool once that handles the deterministic parts — template, formatting, structure — and only calls the model for the piece that actually needs judgment, like drafting specific language. No tokens spent re-solving a solved problem, consistent output, and if something breaks, you know exactly where because the deterministic parts are testable. So maybe both things are true at once: model capability is still the ceiling at the frontier, but for most people and most tools, the system around the model — and how much control they want to keep — is the actual bottleneck.

@Alex Brown great short summary!
Claude Tag
Do someone have tried claude Tag. I would like to know the difference between Claude Tag and the ICM methodology. Maybe antrhopic with Claude Tag has find a scalable solution for a clear context, and memory that evolve with time ? By the way, how did you do to make an memory evolve with new information? For exemple : T0 : your knowledge.md contain a specific information about something so this information is true 👍 T1 : after some research your knowledge.md evolve but the specific information that you find in not correct T2 : how does your system know which information is true and accurate ? Do you understand what i mean ?

@Eytan Levy Let me get that Git link when it’s created. Been trying to make this but I don’t have a business so it’s kinda hard todo with the scalability part

@Scott Smith I’m definitely jelly! The organization I work for just got Claude enterprise and all the trainings have been about prompting and most of the people use it like Google. i’ve been working on multiple projects myself, but they’re limited because I don’t have a validated problem to sololve or at work were I do have one that I could solve there is to much red tape in the way since IT hasn’t let me get next.js. Having people to bounce ideas off of with the same context or environment would be invaluable.
How Did You Discover This Way of Working?
Hey everyone, Before finding Clief's content, I had gradually stumbled into my own version of this way of working. I/ my agent, was capturing ideas, building systems, and connecting notes across different projects, but I didn't really have a name or framework for what I was doing. One reason the content here resonated with me is that I come from a completely non-technical background. I have no formal computer science or coding education. As I've worked on more technical projects, a lot of the discussions/videos in this community have helped fill in foundational gaps and given me better mental models for understanding the larger systems and concepts behind the technology. Finding Clief's content felt less like discovering something entirely new and more like finding language and structure for something I had already been doing. I'm curious—what was your path?
