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. 🎊 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Reinventing the wheel? (Job search workflows)
Am I trying to reinvent the wheel for my first ICM project? I'm working on building job search tools/workflows to support my own job search. I've jumped in head first and: - I'm burning through my CLAUDE PRO tokens - why? My sense is I've setup my root CLAUDE.md file poorly. I switched from Sonnet to Haiku and never used Opus. (I know there are other ways to access LLMs, but I want to spend some time mastering the Claude Code extension interface before jumping into openrouter, Claude API, etc.) - I'm iterating the folder/workflow/skill design but still getting really poor draft outputs (I got better outputs just prompting in the free version of Claude) - I'm still learning the Classroom content and am hoping to get some insights as to any red flags for being newer to this (i.e. I'm just biting off too much for my first project) ## Workspace Structure ``` jobbot/ ├── CLAUDE.md ← You are here (always loaded) ├── CONTEXT.md ← Task router ├── _config/ │ └── story-bank.md ← Master STAR narrative library (shared across workspaces) │ ├── linkedin-optimizer/ ← Build and maintain LinkedIn presence + content │ ├── CLAUDE.md │ ├── CONTEXT.md │ ├── profile/ ← Profile optimization pipeline │ ├── content/ ← Content creation pipeline │ ├── growth/ ← Analytics and growth tracking │ └── _config/ ← Stable reference: profile, voice, keywords, pillars │ ├── resume-optimizer/ ← Master CV + JD-tailored resumes │ ├── CLAUDE.md │ ├── CONTEXT.md │ ├── master-cv/ ← Full CV maintenance pipeline │ ├── tailored/ ← Per-application tailored resume pipeline │ └── _skills/ ← 6 skills: audit, rewrite, jd-decoder, match, tailor, ats-check │ ├── cover-letter-optimizer/ ← Per-application cover letters │ ├── CLAUDE.md │ ├── CONTEXT.md │ ├── pipeline/ ← intel → narrative → draft → review │ ├── final/ ← Approved cover letters │ └── _skills/ ← 4 skills: company-intel, narrative-select, draft, review │ ├── application-engine/ ← Application prep, ATS forms, tracking, analytics

Do you use AI for your hobby?
I'm curious what everyone here likes to do for fun (of course building stuff with Claude is fun too lol), and if you've applied any AI to your hobby. For me it's been super useful for DND planning and I find I get to stay in creative flow more. Curious what other people are doing
