I feel like I want to give each of the folders and subfolders it's own separate identity, so I can assign them all a separate email and they can just communicate individually to humans in the process, etc. It'll look like I have an army working for me at scale... thoughts?

Most people think AI messes up because the prompt was unclear. But sometimes the prompt is fine. The problem is that your business language is unclear. One word can easily mean FIVE different things. “Client” could mean a person, a company, an account, a project, a payment record, or someone in your CRM. “Content” could mean an idea, a draft, a final post, a campaign asset, or a deliverable. AI will follow whatever meaning is implied in the moment. That is where things get messy. Duplicate files. Wrong folders. Confusing outputs. Systems that make sense once, then fall apart later. A simple way to prevent this is to create a TERMINOLOGY file. Think of it as the shared dictionary for how AI should understand your business. Inside it, define: - The words your business uses - What each word means - What each word does not mean - Which terms are approved - Which terms create confusion - Examples of the right and wrong usage This is especially useful before building SOPs, automations, dashboards, folders, workflows, or AI agents. Because once the language is clear, AI has a much better chance of organizing, writing, and reasoning the way your business actually works. What is one word in your business that AI keeps misunderstanding?

I built a skill package that gives each AI agent a distinct thinking style, and upgrades the council skill into a forum of truly independent thinkers. The result: agents that think differently on purpose - tailored to task - for sharper, well-rounded output. First, I want to credit @Curtis Hays and @Brooke Hays for the inspiration. If you haven't watched their video in the post "If Your Specialized Agents Don't Think Differently. They Should." - please do. This is their work, I just wrote some files. They touched on something I've been trying to crack since I started messing with agents a few months ago: how do I make an agent think in specialized ways? How can I get an agent to think from first-principles? How can an agent see things in ways that no one else would? How can an agent connect the dots that I am missing? I tried assigning personalities, pointing agents at a knowledge base, etc, etc. Sometimes this worked - but often, they would fall back to whatever llm baseline was dictating their behavior. Brooke's breakdown of cognitive functions, and Curtis' brilliant idea to assign them to his agents was the spark I needed. I started by re-acquainting myself with the personality types, and building a COMPENDIUM: A reference guide to the 8 Jungian cognitive functions, the 16 MBTI types and their full stacks, and how each maps to an AI agent role. It was built from Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs-Myers' work. It's the single source of truth the other two skills read from — the "textbook" behind the system. The result: a shared, verified vocabulary for giving any agent or task a defined thinking style. Then I got to work on figuring out how I could incorporate this into my ICM workspaces. This led to making the COGNASSIGN skill: A skill that assigns the right cognitive "Mind" to one agent or task. You answer a few job-first questions (what must it do, perceive, judge, and be best at), and it picks a lead function plus a balanced partner, then writes a small procedural block telling the agent how to think — not a personality label. If a job needs too many strengths it tells you to split it into two agents; if it's pure mechanical work it returns "N/A." The result: any agent gets a fit-for-task wiring in one drop-in block, the way the video's two agents thought differently from just four letters.

Come chat about your goals for the week! If you are new here, this is a chat room for general talk about the past week and the week ahead. Share what you’re working on and network with others! If you‘ve been here before, you know the drill. Leave a comment below: - What you’re working on - Something you hope to ship - Blockers you’re running into at the moment - Where you’re looking for help currently - Anything else you’d like to share Have fun and enjoy your week everyone! This weeks poll: lately I’ve been feeling like I’ve moved more from building and learning to a good portion of my time utilizing the systems I’ve finally shipped. This has been a big and welcome shift for me and I feel like I actually am grasping this stuff. Where are you on your journey?

I’ve managed to convince one of my closest friends @David Chalk to come join us and learn stuff. I’m saying he’s player 2, because I was totally here first, but in real life where we’re pretty similar he keeps reminding me he is the original… Some of you may remember him as my friend who gives me “frank facts”. 🤣 I have promised to help build an ICM system to help him with some things and encouraged him to get some information directly from the source… because he’s totally going to want this built in a way that works for him. So, short version, please be kind to him and help me say hi. I am willing to open predictions on how long it takes for him to come up with good sim racing use cases for ICM while hanging out with this community… I don’t think it will take very long. Also… are we actually some kind of AI cult? Asking for a friend.
