Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

Companies want to hire from Clief Notes. So we're building this.
Been sitting on this for a few weeks and figured it's time to show you. 👀 Over the last month, three companies have reached out asking the same thing. How do we hire people from Clief Notes. They've seen what folks here are building with ICM and they want that on their teams. Not LinkedIn AI experts. Not Coursera grads. People who can actually ship. So we're building it. 🛠️ talent.eduba.io Heads up, that's a demo. No real backend, no signups, no live data. Click around and you'll see what the full thing is going to be. A private platform where you list yourself with a real portfolio, companies browse, and they request an intro through us. We make the intro. You take it from there. Few things worth knowing. 🔍 Every profile gets reviewed by the Eduba team before it goes live. The quality bar is the whole point. 🔒 Companies don't see your last name, your employer, or your contact info until we make a formal intro. You can block your current employer too, plus five more companies if you want. Nobody you don't want seeing you sees you. You can list as actively looking, open to offers, or not looking. Passive welcome. Honestly most of the strongest people we've trained are employed and plan to stay that way until the right thing shows up. That's fine. Sit on the platform, see what comes through. 💰 When a placement happens you get a $500 to $1,000 bonus after 90 days in the role. On top of whatever you negotiate. We pay you for staying. This is why the community matters. Companies aren't asking us for resumes. They're asking us for the people who already get it. ICM, agent architecture, knowing when not to use AI. That's not on a LinkedIn profile. Go click around. Tell me what's missing, what's confusing, what you want to see when the real thing ships. We're already building it. 🚀
Don's Factory 🏭 - Using manufacturing principles to build an end-to-end AI pipeline
A folder structure based off 10 years of manufacturing experience. I've been overseeing delivery of systems from design through manufacturing and deployment in my professional work. Everyone has their own system for organizing and building their solutions; this is a natural extension of the environment I work in every day and managing these projects the same way I would any other. The beauty is just like the lean practices inspiring this, this is a framework. All the specifics and magic in the workflow live in the context files, template details, and addition resources. Want to add in your specific quality guidelines? Throw it in config and reference it in the quality stage context file. Want to always build a specific component the same way? Add another file and reference it in design and assembly. This framework can be shaped any way to fit your workflow but the principals remain the same. Here's a brief breakdown of the process flow as well as the files produced. The intention is that this is the flow of objects created called "systems". A system can be anything inside a folder: an artifact, and ICM workflow, a collection of files. As long as it can fit in a folder, it’s applicable. The system folder template is: - References - inspiration or applicable documents relevant to that specific system build - Work Instructions - Where all the documents named below are stored and read from during the workflow. Documents are moved from active to processed subfolders as they are used in the sequence. - System - Where the actual output of the build is placed. This is the resulting files, or workspace produced. - travel-sheet.md - a document recording progress and a summary of every step executed on the project as it progresses. The workflow is as follows: 01 Design: 1. Scope - Define the goal of the project. The outcome written in one statement. What success looks like. Produces scope.md 2. Design - Define a full breakdown of the intent of the system/artifact/solution to be built. What it is, what it isn't. What success looks like with a wider explanation as well as what failure looks like. The gritty details. Produces design-brief.md 3. Review - A sanity check of design-brief.md that all pieces are in place. Was anything missed? Will the build team need more information? Produces design-review.md 4. Manufacturing Kickoff - Converts design-brief.md into a condensed format for handoff to the build agents. Removes reasoning and intent for build and only provides instructions for build for context tightening. Also provides instruction for quality check and testing down the road. Produces blueprint.md, qa-brief.md, test-plan.md
