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.

Article I wrote about AI use amongst some business leaders in the UK
Hi all, My name is Rob Currell and I am a journalist fascinated by AI. I've been trying to understand it for a few years now and even joined an AI club in my town for a while here in the UK. Here is an article where I spoke to business leaders I know about AI and their thoughts about the technology. I also spoke to Manchester City Council to get insight on how they are using it. I tried to get a variety of opinions in order to explore this issue, the article was written about 18 months ago. I wrote my first AI articles about three years ago, I think. I am not a tech writer but it is no secret that AI will have a massive impact on my industry which makes me want to explore it further. I hope this article is of interest to some of you. Artificial intelligence divides opinion amongst business people as sectors embrace technology - Mancunian Matters

Stop using MCP's ... mostly
OK, maybe not all of them, but for the most part you should be able to eliminate 90% I stumbled across this old blog post from the creator of PI AI (https://pi.dev/) and it's genius. It shows you how to easily remove the common web browser MCP's and replace with code. WHY ? - Because when you run executable code you no longer need to use the complex MCP queries which are typically bloat for all use cases, it simply runs the code. 1 line. What You need, not what 1million users need. Unfortunately it was about a week late, I could have used this a week ago as I was having trouble scraping epic-games for Unreal Engine documentation. I tried a number of different scrapers, Skill-Seekers, one I built for SEO about 5 months ago... and then decided to use Firecrawl, however I had to pay for it as it's over 6000 pages. So $36 later... THE BLOG POST: https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-02-what-if-you-dont-need-mcp/ having 4-6 MCP's connected really adds some overhead. I even noticed this issue with Codex, I had to uninstall Vercel (3x bigger than GitHub), and a bunch of others. So moral of the story, keep your MCP's very light, if any at all. Even the GitHub MCP is pretty much pointless unless you're doing heavy actions / worktrees. Using 5 agents on 5 different trees. etc. If you're just doing light Push.Pull.Merge.Commits. then you don't need GitHub MCP. And after reading this post you can safely get rid of Playwright, Puppeteer, Chrome MCP Browser tools etc. All scripts can be downloaded here: https://github.com/badlogic/browser-tools
