Am I trying to reinvent the wheel for my first ICM project? I'm working on building job search tools/workflows to support my own job search. I've jumped in head first and: - I'm burning through my CLAUDE PRO tokens - why? My sense is I've setup my root CLAUDE.md file poorly. I switched from Sonnet to Haiku and never used Opus. (I know there are other ways to access LLMs, but I want to spend some time mastering the Claude Code extension interface before jumping into openrouter, Claude API, etc.) - I'm iterating the folder/workflow/skill design but still getting really poor draft outputs (I got better outputs just prompting in the free version of Claude) - I'm still learning the Classroom content and am hoping to get some insights as to any red flags for being newer to this (i.e. I'm just biting off too much for my first project) ## Workspace Structure ``` jobbot/ ├── CLAUDE.md ← You are here (always loaded) ├── CONTEXT.md ← Task router ├── _config/ │ └── story-bank.md ← Master STAR narrative library (shared across workspaces) │ ├── linkedin-optimizer/ ← Build and maintain LinkedIn presence + content │ ├── CLAUDE.md │ ├── CONTEXT.md │ ├── profile/ ← Profile optimization pipeline │ ├── content/ ← Content creation pipeline │ ├── growth/ ← Analytics and growth tracking │ └── _config/ ← Stable reference: profile, voice, keywords, pillars │ ├── resume-optimizer/ ← Master CV + JD-tailored resumes │ ├── CLAUDE.md │ ├── CONTEXT.md │ ├── master-cv/ ← Full CV maintenance pipeline │ ├── tailored/ ← Per-application tailored resume pipeline │ └── _skills/ ← 6 skills: audit, rewrite, jd-decoder, match, tailor, ats-check │ ├── cover-letter-optimizer/ ← Per-application cover letters │ ├── CLAUDE.md │ ├── CONTEXT.md │ ├── pipeline/ ← intel → narrative → draft → review │ ├── final/ ← Approved cover letters │ └── _skills/ ← 4 skills: company-intel, narrative-select, draft, review │ ├── application-engine/ ← Application prep, ATS forms, tracking, analytics

Curious how you all gather all the sources of information coming out on new agentic frameworks, concepts, AI news, youtube and podcast videos, blog posts etc? Are you building a scraper that ingests all this into your own knowledge wiki? Are you using the ICM approach to synthesize the raw sources?

Just saw this on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/s/ykcxUvMkLa Apparently Anthropic has shipped an update this week that allows you to divert Cowork from using Anthropic cloud service models, and instead run them through other services that include local systems. For anyone who doesn’t access Reddit or can’t see the post, the author comments “Anthropic just shipped the most important enterprise update Claude Code has had in years. No release notes. No blog post. No announcement. Buried in the support documentation for this week's Claude Apps for Windows and Desktop. It is third-party gateway support inside Claude desktop app. In plain terms, the desktop app can now point at a gateway you run, instead of Anthropic's servers. No cloud login. No prompts leaving your perimeter. Your inference, your infrastructure, your compliance boundary. The client stays the same.” Is this a development people are talking excited by? I can’t use Cowork currently so don’t know if I’m missing out. This is GitHub repo used to build integrate Cowork to other services - https://github.com/systempromptio/systemprompt-template (this is not mine and not tested, just making the community aware)

I want to start off that I may not be using the right terminology here, so bear with me... The more I interact with claude and other LLMs and then interacting with the people/users that are pretty far away from anything on this community (I do share the youtube channel all the time), the more I see an opportunity to find a way to use these open source models to create a 'co-work' that can be used inside a closed environment (offline) for two reasons: no real issue with token usage/cost (other than the set up and build and you can swap out models) and then most ppl that I connect with that want to learn how to use AI they are not able to use claude or some other model bc of IT and security reasons. I guess my question is, does this make sense or what am I missing? I am in the process of building this for myself to see whats possible but would be interested to get others input and thoughts, because I am not from the developer world, but i like it here, ppl are nice :)

First, thank you to everyone. Three weeks ago this community had 1,600 people. Today we're at 11,700. That kind of growth only happens when people show up, engage, and tell others about what we're building here. So before I get into the details: thank you for being here. Thank you for the questions in the comments, the builds you're sharing, the conversations in Discord. This community is what it is because of who's in it. Now, the news. Premium is going from $7 to $27. VIP is going from $49 to $97. Free stays free and it always will! Ready to join? Head to Classrooms and click "The Vault" for Premium or "The Drawing Room" for VIP. It'll walk you through the rest. Why the price is going up: The content scales. The courses, the templates, the frameworks. All of that can reach 10,000 people as easily as 100. What doesn't scale is Jake. The live sessions, the critique queue, the bespoke builds. That's Jakes time, and there's only so much of it. The price increase reflects that. Grandfathering If you sign up for Premium or VIP before April 4th at 11:45 pm EST, you lock in the current price. $7 for Premium. $49 for VIP. That rate stays yours as long as you stay subscribed. This applies to new signups and upgrades. If you're already in a paid tier, you're already locked in. April 4th, new prices take effect for everyone who joins after. The free tier is still free and always will be!! And here's the thing: the paid tiers are what keep the free tier free. When Premium and VIP members invest in direct access, it means Jakes doesn't have to paywall the fundamentals. The Foundation can stay open. The courses can stay free. The community keeps growing without anyone getting locked out of the basics. Everything in The Foundation stays open. The courses, the community, the conversation. The free tier remains a full learning environment with more content than most paid communities offer. We'll also keep sending out community questionnaires like the one I sent last week. When Jake goes live to talk through the results, those recordings get posted for everyone. Expect these every month or two.
