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 COMPETITIONS WORK FROM NOW ON 🏆
Quick update on the competition schedule so everyone knows what to expect. 📅 NEW CADENCE: TWICE A MONTH We're dropping comps on the 15th and the 30th of every month. Two chances to compete, every month, on a set schedule you can plan around. ✍️ WHY THIS SCHEDULE Spacing them out this way means we can give tailored feedback on every single submission. Not just the winners. Everyone who enters gets notes on what worked, where it's weak, and what to do next. 🎁 WHAT WINNERS GET Along with the prize, every winner gets a 15-minute one-on-one with Jake. Use it to talk through your build, ask questions, or bring whatever else is on your mind. Two comps a month. Feedback on every entry. Direct time with Jake for the winners. Mark your calendar for the 15th and let's get to work!

Before you build an agent, find the bottleneck.
People jump straight to “what agent should I build?” That creates unnecessary Agent sprawl. You get personas with no clear responsibility, prompts pretending to be operators, and Agents acting befre the workflow is even proven. Start with the bottleneck. Ask: "Where does work keep getting stuck?" or "What responsibility keeps repeating?" or "What output would prove the role is useful?" Then keep it low-control first: checklist, workflow, prompt, human-assisted role. Only turn it into a named agent when it has a trigger, inputs, boundaries, outputs, escalation, and review. here is a simple progression framework: - Name the responsibility first. - Prove the workflow second. - Create the agent last.

branding, website and SOC-2
I'm on a hunt for resources. I'm at the point of building my website out. I know the scaffold of what has to be there for regulation in my industry and really already have that made (Data brokering). I'll have my SOC-2 Type 1 complete in the next 2 weeks and estimate is 3 months for Type II. I need help getting a good resource for working out my branding.md and design.md for assets and the website, as well as social media elements for GTM in the next month. Though I'm deep in the coding and engineering aspect, I haven't done much in any visual design with AI. For example immediately applied all @Jake Van Clief's stuff to my database structure, not any of his suggested blueprints. Ideas where to start? @Ari Evergreen
