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?

๐ŸŒถ๏ธ CINCO DE MAYO FIRESALE โ€” STARTS NOW ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ
Locked in for the next 5 days only. Ends May 5th at 10:00 AM EST. No exceptions. ๐ŸŽ‰ Premium: $27 โ†’ $14/mo ๐ŸŽ‰ VIP: $97 โ†’ $67/mo The closest you'll get to our original launch pricing. We're doing this because the community has shown up for us, and we want to show up back. ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ”ฅ Already a member? Read this carefully. To lock in the new rate, you need to: 1. Cancel your current plan 2. Resign under the new price That's the only way the system can apply the new rate. We have way too many members for manual refunds, so we can't refund anyone who just signed up at current pricing. But the savings stack month over month, so if you plan to stick around (and you should ๐Ÿ˜), the math works out fast. ๐Ÿšซ A few ground rules: Please do not DM myself or Jake about pricing, exceptions, or extensions. We love you, but we're a small team and we need to stay focused on building. Everyone gets the same window. Everyone gets the same deal. If you miss it, you miss it. We'll do more things for the community down the road. โฐ The clock: ๐ŸŸข LIVE NOW ๐Ÿ”ด Locks May 5th, 10:00 AM EST - Premium gets you The Vault and Afternoon Tea calls. - VIP gets you The Drawing Room, High Tea, and bespoke folder builds from Jake himself. If you've been on the fence, this is the moment. ๐Ÿš€ Tag a friend who needs to be in here. Let's make Cinco a movement. ๐ŸŽŠ ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐ŸŒถ๏ธ
Each dot is 3.2 million people.
๐Ÿ“Š You've probably seen this chart floating around LinkedIn and Twitter Each dot is 3.2 million people. โฌœ Grey is the 84% of humans who have never used AI ๐ŸŸฉ Green is the 16% who have used a free chatbot ๐ŸŸจ Yellow is the 0.3% who pay for one ๐ŸŸฅ Red is the tiny sliver who use AI coding tools Most of the people sharing it have not actually said what it means. So here it is. ๐Ÿ” We live inside an algorithm. Mine shows me AI all day. Yours probably does too. Every reel, every post, every podcast clip, every ad. The feed makes it feel like the whole world has moved on without you and you are sprinting to keep up. Inside Clief Notes that feeling gets louder. You log in and see people building agents, shipping side projects, automating their inbox, talking about Claude Code and MCP servers like it is normal. In this room, it is. Step outside and almost nobody is doing any of it. 6.8 billion people have never opened a chatbot. Plenty of the ones who did opened it once, asked it something dumb, got a dumb answer, and decided the whole thing sucked. They are not coming back this year. Maybe not next year either. ๐Ÿช– When I was in the Marine Corps I never felt like I was doing anything special. I was surrounded by other Marines. Everyone around me could do what I could do. The standard was the standard. It was not until I left and stood next to people who had never served that I understood. The thing I thought was ordinary was rare. I just could not see it because I was inside it. That is what is happening to you in here. If you feel behind in this community, that is the right feeling to have. It means you are standing next to the people pushing the edge. Step outside this room and the thing you are calling behind is so far ahead of where most of the world is sitting that they cannot see you from where they are. And do not forget. The thing you built last week, the workflow you set up this morning, the conversation you just had with Claude. A version of you from two years ago would have paid good money to do any of it.

Console Injection: Turn Any Browser Tab Into an AI Control Panel
This post has a video example. **TLDR:** Console injection. Anything running in a browser can print a control menu to the console. Claude reads it. Now it knows what it can do, and controls the site without an API. So, no back-end needed. Super simple. Want the full picture? Keep reading. Want your LLM to build this for you? Copy/paste this whole post. --- **THE PROBLEM** You want your LLM to control something in your browser. Your options aren't great: 1. Claude-in-Chrome's built-in tools. It doesn't know what your site does or how to use it. It takes screenshots and guesses. Slow and token-heavy. 2. Build an API server. Now you're managing keys, hosting, and paying per call. **THE SOLUTION: CONSOLE INJECTION** There's a third option. Whatever you're building loads in the browser. On load, it prints a list of controls the AI can use. The LLM reads the console, sees the control list, and runs JavaScript to call those controls directly. It's just a simple JavaScript control list sitting in the console. You can even add a workflow so the AI has an idea of what it can do with those controls. This works for anything that runs in a browser. A SaaS tool, an internal dashboard, a local dev environment, a canvas editor, a data pipeline UI - if it renders in a browser tab, you can give an LLM a control panel for it. Here's what it looks like in one of my tools (hit F12 to see your own console): ``` [AI-ACCESSIBLE] This app can be controlled via JavaScript. * Sidekick.help() - Complete tools reference (returns JS object) * Sidekick.teach() - Full teaching guide, 14 sections logged to console * Sidekick.tool(name, input) - Execute any tool directly * Sidekick.batchAutomap(mappings) - Smart batch mapping (recommended) help() + teach() contain everything needed. No need to fetch external files. ``` The LLM sees that, and it's immediately trained. It can read state, click buttons, type things, batch operations - whatever you've exposed. **IT GETS BETTER**
๐Ÿ† Weekly Comp #2: The Artifact Sprint ๐Ÿ†
๐Ÿ’ฐ Week 1 winner @Ian Barriopedro took home $200 cash. ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ This week the prize gets bigger. โœจ Winner gets a FREE seat in The Lyceum. โœจ https://www.skool.com/quantum-quill-lyceum-1116/12-weeks-real-projects-250k-in-prizes-lets-talk?p=e850567b ๐ŸŽฏ Pick your cohort: Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. ๐Ÿ“‹ THE CHALLENGE: "The Returning Client" You just got hired again. Different client this time. Meet Marcus. ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ“Ž Download the full client brief attached to this post. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ YOUR DELIVERABLE An interactive artifact built in Claude that does what Marcus asked for. โœ๏ธ Plus a 100 word writeup covering: - ๐Ÿ‘ค Who it's for - โš™๏ธ What it does - ๐ŸŽจ One design choice you made and why ๐Ÿ“ THE RULES โœ… It has to work โœ… It has to sound like Marcus, not a bank โœ… The writeup matters โš–๏ธ Judging: Myself, Jake, and the mods. ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Who can enter: Premium and VIP members only. Free members, this is your sign. Upgrade and you're in the running for a Lyceum seat. ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿ“จ How to submit: Drop a screen recording or screenshot of your artifact, the link if you've got one, and your writeup in the comments below. ๐Ÿ“… Deadline: Saturday, May 2nd at 12:00 PM EST ๐ŸŽ‰ Winner announced: Monday, May 4th at 12:00 PM EST ๐Ÿ’ก A note before you start. This isn't a finance challenge. It's a design and voice challenge. You don't need to be a CFP to win this. Read the brief. Marcus tells you exactly what he wants and how he thinks. Your job is to build something that solves his problem and sounds like him. ๐Ÿ†• If you've never built an artifact in Claude before, this is a great first one. The brief is clear, the scope is reasonable, and the bar is "would Marcus actually send this to a prospect?" ๐Ÿ”ฅ @Ian Barriopedro set the standard last week. Your turn. LFG ๐Ÿš€
