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?

🛠️ New tool: ICM Architect
I explain the details about it on today's high tea . I built a Claude skill that turns a process, an idea, or a messy folder into an ICM workspace. The folder structure does the orchestration. Numbered folders carry the order, the hierarchy scopes context, and plain markdown files hold state. One agent walks the right files at the right time and does the work a multi-agent setup would. Repo: github.com/RinDig/icm-architect 📦 What it does Two modes. 🔨 Build. You describe your work and it pulls out the structure already sitting in how you talk about it. The stages, the points where you stop and check, what stays the same every run versus what is new. Then it picks one of five proven forms and scaffolds the smallest workspace that carries the job. ♻️ Restructure. Point it at a folder, repo, or vault you already have. It reads every file, sorts each one by role, shows you a migration map, waits for your yes, then moves and checks the result. 🧩 The five forms Pipeline, umbrella, record library, knowledge bundle, context map. They mix and nest, so most real workspaces use more than one. ✅ The walk test Every result gets checked cold. An agent with no memory has to open the root, find its way, act, and report status from the files alone. If it can't, the structure gets fixed until it can. ⚙️ How to use it You can honestly just tell claude to download it from the link, but if you're using codex or something else it will just have to restructure the claude.md to agents.md Or if you want to do more Hands-On install Claude Code: drop the folder in ~/.claude/skills/icm-architect/, then say "ICM this" or "build me a workspace for X." Claude apps: zip the folder and upload it under Settings, then Capabilities. Fork it, break it, tell me what you built. 👇

🏆 WEEKLY COMP #9: THE EDITOR 🏆
🎟️ PRIZE: FREE SEAT IN THE LYCEUM 🎟️ Pick your cohort. Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. 🎯 PICK YOUR DOMAIN The domain is yours. Pick something specific. Pick something you'd actually use. A few sparks to get you thinking: - 💻 Code review editor for a specific language and level (junior TypeScript, senior Python) - 📊 Pitch deck editor for pre-seed founders - 🎨 Grant application editor for arts nonprofits - 📄 Resume editor for career switchers into tech - 📰 Op-ed editor for policy publications - 🎙️ Podcast script editor for interview shows - ⚖️ Legal brief editor for civil litigation - 📋 Product spec editor for early-stage PMs - 🎓 Academic paper editor for one specific field The more specific, the better. "Writing editor" is too broad. "Op-ed editor for tech policy publications targeting a policy audience" is right. 🗂️ THE METHODOLOGY If this is your first comp, welcome. Here's what you need to know: This week (and every week) you're learning interpretable context methodology. Folders as architecture. Each file does one job well. Your editor is a folder with five things: - 📄 identity.md (who the editor is, what work they review) - 📐 rules.md (how they critique) - 💬 examples.md (what good critique looks like) - 📚 reference/ (style guides, checklists, frameworks the editor uses) - 📖 README.md (how to use it) Drop the folder into a Claude project. Claude becomes the editor. Reusable. Shareable. Portable. 🔥 THE ANGLE THIS WEEK An editor is NOT a rewriter. An editor doesn't do the work for you. An editor surfaces what's weak and pushes you to fix it. That distinction is the whole assignment this week. When someone hands the editor a draft, the editor shouldn't produce a "fixed" version. The editor should point at the three lines that don't work, explain why, and hand it back to the writer to solve. ✍️ Generic feedback like "consider strengthening your intro" is a fail. Specific feedback like "your intro assumes the reader already knows what a Series A is, but this pub is read by generalists, so lead with the stakes instead of the jargon" is what a real editor does.
Can anyone help me with the sexy bits?
Self proclaimed, junior, non technical, back end vibe coder here 🤣. Looking for a little guidance or a point in the right direction for presentations, images, videos, webdesign etc. Sorry for the long post. Some context and then 4 questions. Im working my way through the lessons in the Premium section during lunch breaks, evenings, weekend, 2 kids and a 34week pregnant wife, all around the day job. I wanted to see if someone more experienced than myself might be able to help me streamline some learning. 1. Long form source/research management 2. Presentation/pitch creation 3. Video creation 4. Website creation This is not a request for instruction and a how too. Im looking for support with direction, potentially revealing any unknown unknowns. Im more than happy to learn myself, in fact I prefer it. There's lots of content creators sharing super simple, very impressive workflows and skills but I want to keep things super simple and ICM workspace first if at all possible. Im a fast, practical learner who is time poor so im just looking for some help to avoid wasting time while achieving the most impactful results. I dont mind sinking the hours. As you will hopefully appreciate though, due to my personal circumstances, they are very expensive right now. 1. Im accruing a alot of long form, well cited, deep research reports, transcripts and other wordy source docs. These are all housed in my workspace. Is this fine and best ICM practice as long as separation of concerns is properly adhered to or is there a more productive approach to library sources? 2. Ive two big presentations I need to prepare by 20th and 23th July. I've yet to pick up the presentation lesson in Premium. Ive got the sources, the material, I just need to pull it together and ive decided this will be the first time I'll not be doing it manually. I've seen the presentation lesson in the Premium section, Jeff Su's Notebook LM video and a coyole of others. Ive yet to put any of it into practice and feeling a little overwhelmed on where to go to get the end result. Does anyone have any advice or direction on where to direct my learning efforts?
I love this community
Everyone is so helpful. It's so nice to talk to others today during the VIP call at the end we hung out for a few more hours. I learned what a maintenance call was. This involves the general upkeep of an organization's digital infrastructure. This includes physical cleaning of equipment, updating software, managing security patches, and fixing reported bugs. In other words is your ICM working the way it should be? One thing that I hate is how disorganized I can become with all my chats going solving so many of my problems. Going to implement a maintenance call weekly. It is always a joy to see what others are working on building and how they are monetizing their creations. I work in the Construction Field happy to help anyone that is doing anything in this field. Same goes for Real Estate as we have properties that we own/manage. Building ICM's in both spaces. Never seems like there is enough time in the day to build my dreams but I am having a ton of fun in here with a lot of you. Thank you all who have helped members like me in understanding this world.
