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?

šŸ† WEEKLY COMP #3: THE SPECIALIST šŸ†
šŸ’° $325 CASH PRIZE šŸ’° That's a full year of Premium. Win this and your membership pays for itself. šŸ“‹ THE CHALLENGE You just got hired again. Different client this time. Meet Sarah, a freelance copywriter who's drowning in context-switching. šŸ“Ž 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. šŸ—‚ļø 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: - šŸ“„ identity.md (who they are) - šŸ“ rules.md (how they respond) - šŸ’¬ examples.md (what good looks like) - šŸ“š reference/ (source material) - šŸ“– README.md (how to use it) Drop the folder into a Claude project. Claude becomes the specialist. Reusable. Shareable. Portable. šŸŽÆ 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. šŸ’¼ 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.
FitCheck Resume Powered By A.I
Hi everyone, This is my first time posting, please let me know if I have broken any rules that I haven't heard of. My last date for my current role at Telstra (Australian Telecommunication Company) is on the 29th of June 2026. Meanwhile battling with looking for jobs/new roles, I have built an app, powered by AI (claude). It called FitCheck. Summary of what it does An AI tool (Claude-powered) that searches Adzuna, LinkedIn & APSJobs, matches resumes to job descriptions, tailors applications, writes cover letters, and generates interview prep. This is a community that I do trust to provide real feedback on how my app is actually doing. Be brutal, be honest, give me ideas, I am not selling this (original intention). I am making this accessible to people who are looking for jobs like myself. All tools I use to build this are free apart from Claude subscription. here is the link: https://fitcheck-08kk.onrender.com/
