Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
1. Go check out 📚Navigating The Course to see how to get around and what's here. 2. Start with The Foundation. 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 join in on our Biweekly competitions and win some real cash. ⭐ Competitions Mega Thread 5. If you are wanting to dive into the masterminds, grab all the past templates, artifacts and resources. Upgrade and head into the The Vault for Premium and The Drawing Room (VIP) for VIP 6. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

How to get your first Check

Don’t burn your three free shots on “hi.”
The feed is a terrible index. Clief Notes AI is the librarian for it — not a second Claude, not a folder-builder, not a replacement for a Check-In. Free is three prompts. Total. DMs and the sidebar both count. After that you’re back in the classroom, which is still where the work lives. I wrote the map so you don’t spend shot one on “what can you do?” What’s in it - What this agent is (and what it will never do) - Chromium install, Student portal, same email as Skool - Three Getting Started shots and three Foundation shots you can paste - How to talk to it with the five-part prompt so a sloppy ask isn’t 33% of your budget Do this now 1. Classroom → Getting Started → watch Navigating The Course (2:51) 2. Open How to Access your Clief Notes Agent & Roadmap and install 3. Read the guide: Comprehensive Guide to Clief Notes AI https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/c7f102c7?md=144082eaf875446eba04fa1db90fcc90 4. One DM. Then open Foundation 1.1. Check the box. The agent is a map. Your folder is the architecture. If the agent writes the system, you didn’t learn the system. Paste this if you only have one shot left: I just joined as [beginner / daily AI user / developer]. Give me the three-step start, the first Foundation lesson title, and what “done” looks like. Do not invent a custom curriculum. If three shots already feel tight, that’s the product working. Foundation stays free. Paid keeps the librarian on.
Don’t burn your three free shots on “hi.”
The Clief Notes AI is live 📣
It’s live. Starting today, everyone in Clief Notes has access to the new Clief Notes AI. The easiest way to use it? Don’t overthink it. Ask it the question you would normally ask me. “Where should I start?” “What should I focus on next?” “Where did you talk about [topic]?” It’ll use what’s already inside Clief Notes to help answer you and point you toward the right lesson or resource when there’s something worth going deeper on. The goal isn’t to give you another AI tool to play with. It’s to make everything already inside this community easier to actually use. If you want Access to it Comment "READY" and we'll send you access to it!
Community Guidelines
This community is large and it moves fast. That's the good part and it's also the problem: valuable posts get buried, the same questions get re-asked instead of found, and spammers show up wherever there's an audience. These guidelines are what keeps the room worth showing up to. Read them once. You won't need them again, because most of this is what you'd do anyway. New here? Start with Jake's welcome post and the Foundation course. This post is about how we behave, not where to begin. 1. Build in public. Post the thing while it's half working. A half-finished build is more useful to everyone else than the polished writeup you'll never get around to, and you'll get corrected before you've spent a week going the wrong way. 2. Teach what you learn. The day you figure something out is the day you're best at explaining it, because you still remember exactly what confused you. A month later you've forgotten the hard part and your explanation gets worse. If you cracked something this week, that's a post. Nobody has to earn the right to ask a question here, but this place only works because people come back and answer them once they can. 3. Ask good questions. Specific beats polite. "How should I structure this?" gets three vague answers. "I have a 40 file client folder, the model keeps loading the wrong context file, here's my CLAUDE.md" gets a real one. Say what you tried, what happened, and what you expected instead. A more in depth guide: https://dontasktoask.com The flip side of this: "Anyone here?", "Help please", and one line questions with no context may get removed. Not to be harsh, but because nobody can answer them. 4. Give credit. If you built on someone's skill, template, folder structure or comment, tag them. It costs you nothing and it's the reason people keep publishing their work here instead of keeping it. A lot of the best material in this community started as somebody's reply on somebody else's post.
