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?

โ ๏ธ HEADS UP: PHISHING ATTEMPTS IN THE COMMUNITY โ ๏ธ
We've noticed people sending out phishing links in DMs and comments. Quick PSA to keep everyone safe. ---- ๐ THE RULE If someone you don't recognize is sending you links, asking for money, asking for login info, or telling you to "claim a prize" outside of an official competition post, it's not us. Don't click. Don't reply. Just delete. ---- ๐ฐ HOW WE ACTUALLY HANDLE MONEY We will never send you money out of the blue. The only time you'll hear from us about money is if you've won a competition. When that happens, Sonija is the only person on our team who will reach out to collect your payment info to send your prize. If anyone else DMs you asking for payment details, banking info, or "verification" to release a prize, it's not us. Report it!! ---- ๐จ IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE 1. Don't click any links 2. Don't reply 3. Screenshot it if you can 4. Send the screenshot to Jake, Matt, or a mod so we can deal with it We're going to keep this community a safe place to build and learn. Thanks for looking out for each other. ๐

Companies want to hire from Clief Notes. So we're building this.
Been sitting on this for a few weeks and figured it's time to show you. ๐ Over the last month, three companies have reached out asking the same thing. How do we hire people from Clief Notes. They've seen what folks here are building with ICM and they want that on their teams. Not LinkedIn AI experts. Not Coursera grads. People who can actually ship. So we're building it. ๐ ๏ธ talent.eduba.io Heads up, that's a demo. No real backend, no signups, no live data. Click around and you'll see what the full thing is going to be. A private platform where you list yourself with a real portfolio, companies browse, and they request an intro through us. We make the intro. You take it from there. Few things worth knowing. ๐ Every profile gets reviewed by the Eduba team before it goes live. The quality bar is the whole point. ๐ Companies don't see your last name, your employer, or your contact info until we make a formal intro. You can block your current employer too, plus five more companies if you want. Nobody you don't want seeing you sees you. You can list as actively looking, open to offers, or not looking. Passive welcome. Honestly most of the strongest people we've trained are employed and plan to stay that way until the right thing shows up. That's fine. Sit on the platform, see what comes through. ๐ฐ When a placement happens you get a $500 to $1,000 bonus after 90 days in the role. On top of whatever you negotiate. We pay you for staying. This is why the community matters. Companies aren't asking us for resumes. They're asking us for the people who already get it. ICM, agent architecture, knowing when not to use AI. That's not on a LinkedIn profile. Go click around. Tell me what's missing, what's confusing, what you want to see when the real thing ships. We're already building it. ๐

๐ WEEKLY COMP #6: THE RESEARCHER ๐
๐๏ธ PRIZE: FREE SEAT IN THE LYCEUM ๐๏ธ Pick your cohort. Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. ---- ๐บ๐ธ Quick note first. This post is going up Today because we took Memorial Day off yesterday. To keep things fair, you've got until Sunday May 31st at 12:00 PM EST to submit. Same week of build time, just shifted. ---- ๐ THE CHALLENGE Build a folder-based AI researcher for a specific topic or industry. You pick the domain. This week's deliverable is one researcher folder that someone could drop into a Claude project and use as their personal research partner for whatever domain you've built it for. ---- ๐ฏ PICK YOUR DOMAIN The domain is yours. Pick something specific. Pick something you'd actually use. A few sparks to get you thinking: - ๐ฆ M&A activity in one industry (fintech, healthcare, defense) - โ๏ธ Court cases in one area of law (employment, IP, immigration) - ๐งฌ Scientific research on one health condition or treatment - ๐๏ธ Real estate market dynamics in one city or asset class - ๐ฅ Competitive intelligence for one product category - ๐ Historical research on one period, place, or movement - ๐ Academic literature in one specific subfield - ๐ Regulatory developments in one sector - ๐ฐ Journalism research on one beat (climate tech, AI policy, biotech funding) The more specific, the better. "Research assistant" is too broad. "M&A research analyst for early-stage fintech deals in the US and Europe" is right. ---- ๐๏ธ 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 researcher is a folder with five things: - ๐ identity.md (who the researcher is, what domain they cover) - ๐ rules.md (how they research) - ๐ฌ examples.md (what good looks like) - ๐ reference/ (frameworks, source lists, key concepts) - ๐ README.md (how to use it)

Damn Spammers - I have a fix
Update: LEVEL 4 - implemented I want to reach out to the community after receiving a message from one of our members. They suggest we set the minimum user level to 3 for DM's. As our community grows, the threat of spammers and phishing attempts rise. We're the Hard Hitting, No Fluff, No Jive AI Community empowering our members towards success. We don't have time nor patience dealing with these miscreants. SO, I ASK - PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR INPUT. Thank you
