New module just dropped in Implementation Playbooks. Claude Design: Folder Structure as a Design System Anthropic released Claude Design. It builds brand design systems, slide decks, prototypes, and animated content from your existing assets. Underneath the interface it is Claude Code, skills, and a folder structure. If that sounds familiar, it should. It is a refined version of what we have been building in this community. This module covers three things: 1. How Claude Design actually works, what it does well, and where it burns tokens fast. 2. How to export the design system it builds and run it locally in Claude Code or VS Code. 3. *Lightly Touches* on how to swap in open source models like Qwen 3 Coder Next, Code Gemma, Devstral, or DeepSeek Coder V2 when you hit usage limits or want to cut costs. Claude Design is not a replacement for the workflow you have been learning. It is proof the workflow is correct. The people who built Claude Design are solving the same problem with the same tools as you are here. The difference is you now have a head start, because you already understand folder structure, skills, and routing. If you are new here, start with Foundation Lesson 2 for the history, Lesson 4 for the install, and Implementation Playbook Module 1 for the animation builds that predate all of this. Watch the video. Build your own system this week. Post your folder structure in the community. Claude Design: Folder Structure as a Design System - Implementation Playbooks · Clief Notes

EDUBA @Kay K has had the challenging task to redesigning my Company website to fit the folder and Unix theme. It may seem odd at first but as you scroll down through the site you will see the influence of traditional and fundamental structures, the simplicity of it is what I love. Figured I would share this here and share his hard work as I love the idea of making a website folder based, because as you know, I love my folders. EDUBA

🎉 Meet your new admin: @David Vogel Some of you have been watching this happen in real time. David has been quietly turning his "Show Your Work" posts into one of the most useful threads in this community for months. Resource roundups, deep-dives, honest takes on what's actually working in production. No fluff. No hype. 🛠️ So I gave him the keys. 🔑 David is now an admin of Clief Notes, and he has his own classroom: 🏛️ David's Corner. Go check it out. AI Acronym Overload? Here's the Cheat Sheet - Davids Corner 📂 What's in David's Corner He started with the resource post a lot of you bookmarked last week and has been steadily expanding it. As of right now you'll find: 🔥 Must Have Resources - 🎨 Looking for design inspiration? - 🧠 AI Acronym Overload? Here's the Cheat Sheet - ⭐ Some of My Favorite Resources 📚 Learning for Everyone - 🥊 Obsidian is BLOAT! Batter Up - 💰 Flip the Script — It's all about the $$$ - 👻 Do You Have a Soul? - 🔄 My AI Workflow Evolution 👨‍💻 Developer Resources - 🕵️ LEAKED: Ten Prompts from Experts - ⚡ Introducing the Hermes Stack 🎯 David and Jakes Picks (this one's going to grow) Plus he's curating trusted YouTube channels and a running list of favorite community posts on resources inside the corner. So if you wrote something good about a tool, a stack, or a workflow, that's where it might end up. 👀 He's adding more weekly. If something stops delivering, he wants to hear about it. That's how the corner stays sharp. 🔪 💡 Why this matters The Vault and The Drawing Room give you my methodology. David's Corner gives you a second lens. Same standards (battle-tested, no theory, no marketing slides), different angle. He's been in the trenches with tools and stacks, and he writes about them honestly. ✅ What you can do 1. 🔖 Go bookmark David's Corner in the classroom 2. 💬 Drop a comment under his posts when something works (or doesn't) 3. 📨 Got a resource that should be in there? Tag him. He's curating.

📊 You've probably seen this chart floating around LinkedIn and Twitter Each dot is 3.2 million people. ⬜ Grey is the 84% of humans who have never used AI 🟩 Green is the 16% who have used a free chatbot 🟨 Yellow is the 0.3% who pay for one 🟥 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. 🔁 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. 🪖 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.

This is a new style as well that I'm testing and I'm talking about systems thinking a little bit more in it and how I think that you can do more as a company now, especially if you're a consultancy. If you're thinking of starting your own or already have one, this video might be huge value for you! It's on my YouTube so if you can go like it there and leave a comment that would be amazing I'll probably create a text companion and make a few more videos and add this to a new series called systems thinking In the classroom! We shall see.
