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 #4: THE AGENCY 🏆
💰 $325 CASH 💰 That's a full year of Premium. Win this and your membership pays for itself. But the real prize this week isn't the cash. Keep reading. 📋 THE CHALLENGE You just got hired again. Meet Diana, owner of a 4-person boutique real estate team in Austin. 60-80 transactions a year, mostly residential, mix of buyers and sellers. 📎 Download the full client brief attached to this post. Short version: She doesn't want software. She wants a system she can teach her team to use in a week. Your job is to build the AI operating system for her team. This isn't one specialist. This is a small team of AI specialists organized into a multi-folder ICM architecture, with a clear handoff protocol between them. 🗂️ WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING Last week was one specialist. This week is a team of them. Required folders: 📍 00_orchestrator/ — The router. Where every request starts. Decides which specialist gets the job. 📍 01_lead_qualifier/ — First contact with new prospects. Captures intent, budget, timeline. 📍 02_property_research/ — Deep research on specific properties or neighborhoods. 📍 03_client_communication/ — Drafts emails, texts, follow-ups in the voice of the agent. 📍 04_transaction_coordinator/ — Handles the deal once it's live. Checklists, deadlines, document tracking. Each folder must include: - 📄 identity.md - 📐 rules.md - 💬 examples.md - 🔗 handoff.md (NEW for Week 4 — how does this folder pass work to another folder?) - Plus a root-level README.md explaining the architecture, the typical flow, and how to onboard a new team member. 🔥 WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT Weeks 1, 2, and 3 were warmups. This is the comp where the work you ship genuinely starts to look like the real thing. The handoff protocol is the test. Anyone can build five folders. The hard part is defining what each one needs from the previous one and what it passes to the next one. That's where multi-agent systems actually live or die.

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.
Every stage gets its own folder
Ask AI for the final output and it almost works. Then you need a change, and you rerun the entire thing. I break every workflow into stages where each stage's output becomes the next stage's input. Video looks like this: 1. Write the prompts → QC the prompts 2. Generate images from the prompts → QC the images 3. Generate clips from the images → QC the clips 4. Write the script over the clips → QC the script 5. Collate into the final cut Every gate is a folder. Every folder is recoverable. If the script's wrong, I don't regenerate clips. If a clip's wrong, I don't rewrite the prompt. The system around the AI is the intelligence. The folder structure is the system. The cost of going back becomes the cost of one stage, not the cost of one workflow. Read the deep-dive: https://www.aris-space.com/documents/workflows/every-stage-its-own-folder //A<3
