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?

🏆 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.

Who's here? Drop your intro.
Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it. Simple, scannable, gives you data on who's joining and what they need, and keeps the feed clear for content that retains people past week one.
A better way (for posts, information share, and tracking)
I feel the FOMO when I dig into posts from different forums and come across something buried a few pages deep from a week or more ago which was the answer I needed earlier. I never used Skool.com prior-to Clief Notes. Is there a way to track conversations - list 'hot topics' regardless of forum... maybe a newsletter format (1x/week) which highlights discussion topics which are relevant? Short of building a bot or agent to run through the site for topics of interest (I considered it, but didn't want to burn the tokens), I feel there's a better way but frankly don't have the brain bandwidth to attack the issue at the moment - so I ask the great groupmind of awesome, how could we do this better?

AGENTS OVERVIEW from CONTENT CREATOR
A content creator I followed because I listened to some interviews posted this about agents. I think it’s his personal review. I do like how there are pros and cons and not a one size fits all. What I love about this is that it shows a lot of the hype like: “breaking”, “it’s over!” “This [new tech] killed this [other tech]” and so on, doesn’t really cover the details one should know about before deploying. Video content about Agents come across as it’s easy, and the best thing to do now and you really need them. The content here with Jake has torn back the curtain like in the Wizard of Oz and has shown a good percentage of content on major social platforms are click bait. What are your thoughts on this. Do you use agents? Tried them? Confused? Does this review allow you to see what you been missing about deploying agents. Share your thoughts.
