Small but damn I'm excited!!! Over the past week I followed the steps through out The Foundation modules and created my first workspace folder architecture. It was rough but I'm proud of it. Today I finally got the time to start working with Claude Desktop to make sense what I'm working on and trying to accomplish. Process wise it wasn't much different in how I've used AI up until now, BUT, results wise it was night and day since I had started off by creating a Project, giving it some rules and memory, etc.. It helped me refine my folder architecture based on my actual day to day projects, and I gave it my original folders to refine and include them in the new version. Loaded it up into VS Code, told Claude Code I wanted to work on a specific workspace and BOOM BABY!!!!! It followed my Claude.md and started asking me competent questions. What an exiting end to my day. A big thank you to everyone that has provided even the smallest of guidance and support. Shout out to @Carla Bosteder for going out of her way to post this https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/ai-workflows-in-a-box?p=9a20e119 when she saw one of my cried for help.

I’ve been in this group for 3 months now. I have definitely learned more in this time than I did in my entire life or at any point in my education, and that’s no exaggeration. Before I found this group, I knew nothing about AI; the whole hype train around it just put me off wanting to learn more. Too much “oh, it’s the worst thing ever” and too much “oh, this is the greatest thing ever” — so much whiplash from competing opinions is hard to get your head around. If you’ve been in this group as long as I have, it’s probably crystal clear that this is exactly where you want to be in this age of AI. The knowledge here outranks everything else, hands down. Trust me, I’ve been researching this non-stop, and I just wanted to share a summarised think piece from a recent chat I had with my system. It is AI-generated; I’m a delivery driver, not a writer 😅 — part of the beauty of AI, right. Draft post: I’ve been thinking about the difference between agents, skills, workflows, and systems. A lot of people are building “AI operating systems” by making loads of fixed agents: Research agent. Marketing agent. Coding agent. Sales agent. Browser agent. That works to a point, but I think it can become the wrong frame. Because the agent is not the main thing. The real thing is the structure underneath it. An agent is just the worker shape for the task. A skill is not magic. It is not some special power the AI secretly understands. A skill is really a reusable packet of instructions, files, examples, rules, and checks that tells the agent how to do one type of work properly. A workflow is the chain that says what happens first, second, third, and what must pass before the job is done. A system is the bigger operating layer that decides: What is the mission? What context matters? Which skills are needed? Which worker shape should be created? Which files are the source of truth? What gets checked? What gets rejected? What loops again? What gets saved? That’s the difference.
