๐Ÿ† WEEKLY COMP #3: THE SPECIALIST ๐Ÿ†
๐Ÿ’ฐ $325 CASH PRIZE ๐Ÿ’ฐ
That's a full year of Premium. Win this and your membership pays for itself.
๐Ÿ“‹ THE CHALLENGE
You just got hired again. Different client this time. Meet Sarah, a freelance copywriter who's drowning in context-switching.
๐Ÿ“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.
๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ THIS WEEK YOU LEARN ICM
Up until now, comps have been "build a thing." This week you utilize the methodology taught throughout the community.
๐Ÿง  Folders as architecture. That's it. That's the whole concept this week.
Your specialist is a folder with five things:
Drop the folder into a Claude project. Claude becomes the specialist. Reusable. Shareable. Portable.
๐ŸŽฏ 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.
๐Ÿ’ผ 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.
"I built a folder-based AI specialist using interpretable context methodology." That's a real line on a resume. Hiring managers can clone your repo, drop it in their own Claude, and see it work cold.
Win or lose, you walk out of this week with something you'd be proud to link from your LinkedIn. ๐Ÿš€
๐Ÿ“ THE BAR
Someone with no context should be able to use your folder and get value in under 5 minutes.
If you have to explain it, it's not done.
๐Ÿ“ HOW TO SUBMIT
Drop a public GitHub repo link in the comments. Plus 2-3 sentences on who your specialist is and what problem it solves.
๐Ÿ†• No GitHub yet? Use a shared Google Drive folder for now. We're running a "Set Up Your GitHub"
Afternoon Tea this week so you're ready for Week 4 (which will require GitHub).
โš–๏ธ JUDGING
Jake, Matt, and the mods. Four things we're looking at:
โœ… Does the folder structure actually work? Can someone clone it and use it cold?
โœ… Is the specialist genuinely useful or just a gimmick?
โœ… Is the methodology clean? Each file does one job well.
โœ… README quality. Can a stranger figure this out?
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ WHO CAN ENTER
Premium and VIP members only. No exceptions.
๐Ÿ†“ Free members watching this thinking "I could win that"? You're probably right. Upgrade and you're in.
The $325 prize covers a full year of Premium, so the math works in your favor on Week 1 of being a paying member.
๐Ÿ“… DATES

๐Ÿ”ฅ One last thing.
This is the comp where the difficulty jumps. Weeks 1 and 2 were warmups. From here on, every comp builds something you could actually ship.
set the standard last week. Your turn.
