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?

🌶️ CINCO DE MAYO FIRESALE — STARTS NOW 🌶️
Locked in for the next 5 days only. Ends May 5th at 10:00 AM EST. No exceptions. 🎉 Premium: $27 → $14/mo 🎉 VIP: $97 → $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. 🤝 🔥 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 😁), the math works out fast. 🚫 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. ⏰ The clock: 🟢 LIVE NOW 🔴 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. 🚀 Tag a friend who needs to be in here. Let's make Cinco a movement. 🎊 🌶️🌶️🌶️
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**

Now I Know How a CEO Feels!
I am working on 4 different projects using mainly Claude Code and CoWork. Two projects are personal and two are for clients. I understood that I need to be in the loop to make important decisions (strategic, operational, aesthetical). So, I tell my agents to show me their work stept by step, present pros, cons, unkowns, and ask for my decision. So, I spent my day answering questions from my agents as the present me their work, just like a CEO would spend their day answering questions from its direct reports. Sometimes they are high level questions, sometimes they are detailed quesitons. I might be able to automate some of those decisions in the future, but now I understand where do I need to spend my time and how important is our capacity to make decisions about complex issues.

Stop Prompting. Start Defining Outcomes.
Most people are using AI like a slot machine. Pull the lever, hope for a payout, blame the model when it's generic. The makers I respect run a workshop instead. They've stopped asking AI for things and started telling it what they're building. Three moves: 1. Outcomes, not prompts. A prompt is a wish. A brief is a contract. When AI gets it wrong, your brief was ambiguous. 2. Context is king. Models are interchangeable. Context is yours. A bad prompt with the right context beats a great prompt with none. 3. Train your taste. AI gives you 90% in 10% of the time. Spend the 90% you got back on the trim pass. Your taste is the bottleneck now.
