A question for those using ICM to provide software or consulting services: When you work with multiple customers, does one ICM system support all of them, with separate customer configurations, requirements, data, and outputs? Or do you create and maintain a separate ICM structure for each customer or software product? I’ve been thinking about this through the way I create my own products. I reuse many of the same standards, checks, scripts, and production methods, but different product types may still need different schemas and workflows. A devotional is not built exactly like a prayer card set, even though they share part of the same underlying system. I’m curious whether software providers (or consultants) approach this similarly. Do you maintain a common core and adapt it for each customer, keep every customer implementation completely separate, or use some combination of the two? I’m still learning how others structure this, so I would genuinely appreciate hearing what has worked for you—and where separation becomes important.

Gather round, Clief Notes crew — we’re opening The Legends: a classroom on the Frontier built around two gunslingers who deliver real systems, not hype. Each legend has a dedicated folder packed with signature builds, frameworks, and battle-tested wisdom. Start where the dust is thickest for you. 📐 Bas Rosario – The Wise Architect’s Library Master planner and blueprint boss. Bas designs for deep understanding and human–AI collaboration so you stay in control — frameworks, systems thinking, responsible AI, and work that still feels human. 👷‍♂️ Don Roy – The Master Builder’s Forge Hammer in hand, fire in the forge. Don turns ideas into working tools: automation, quality control, content systems, Remotion + AI builds, and anti-slop standards that keep what you ship durable. These two are the heartbeat of this classroom — grinding, growing, and lifting the whole crew. Your move: Pick a folder. Open it. Start forging. https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/b5143824?md=61c684c877384eefbd11c804f83aac05 Who are you riding with first — Architect or Builder? Drop a 🤠 below and go make something that lasts.

Stop README-shopping. Start scoring the repos you actually trust. Most of us still pick open-source like restaurants. Stars. Nice README. Maybe a glance at the last commit. That friction is real, and it's how vibe-coded slop ends up in the stack. New classroom piece is live: Git Repo Security: Why It Matters, and How We Actually Do It https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/c7f102c7?md=43a45577d5cb4096b040770491d87b50 Why this hits us: we pull public git constantly. Agents clone third-party skills. Volunteers don't have an AppSec team. Stars are a weak signal. The article folds OpenSSF / SLSA / CISA-style checks into two portable skills so the discipline gets cheap and repeatable. How you run it (newbie path) 1. Open the article and download the zip. 2. Drop the zip into your harness (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok, etc.). 3. Prompt the agent like a colleague: run repo-scorecard Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything (github username/repo) or run repo-eval Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything ============================================================= Here's what you get from repo-scorecard: Scorecard: Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything Score: 9.50 / 10.00 — healthy, well-run project What's good: • Actively worked on — last update was yesterday. • Very busy recently: 355 commits in the last 90 days. • Many people involved — about 70 different contributors this year (though one person still does most of the commits). • Has a clear license, a README, and a security contact policy. • Has automatic quality checks and tests set up. • Ships tagged releases (8 tags) and keeps a fixed parts-list for its building blocks. Things to know: • No automatic updates for the building blocks it depends on. Score based on publicly visible project activity and housekeeping. It does not include a security scan of the code itself. ==============================================================

A little over a month ago i quit my job to fulltime pursue creating a web based character creator for AI agents and humans to quickly and easily deliver human characters to their games! You can now send your agent to creategamecharacters.ai and it can create realistic looking characters for your games. You can use AI to create outfits for your characters as well as upload a picture of yourself to make yourself a character in your game! Not only that, but the site is filled with docs so agents can easily make in-game character creators so your players can make their own characters like in skyrim or the sims. This would not have been possible without first a good understanding of context routing techniques and the documentation the agents get from the tool is based around that same principle. I will be continuing development on this and I hope it is a tool people find useful!

Hi All! I need a bit of help... (skip through the long explanation of why I am asking this - skip the ##) ##ICM is amazing but when I actually discuss it... even though you can use Jake's audit system or feed his methodology into a system and it figures out the structure for you (and again I understand there are many ways to learn this - and there might be something out there - so please tell me) but what I find is that now people have that structure but they don't necessarily know how to keep it... so I want to add a folder - called pre-planner for people learning how to use it - and again there might be more things out there please point me to it - but basically it is a folder dump - everything you have (think teachers, think students who have never researched anything before, think someone trying to update their CV and keep it updated) so the pre-planner literally lets you info dump - it asks you questions (it already knows ICM and will structure it accordingly - that is not the problem) and it helps you build the structure (and gives you the why for everything) - I am trying to get more people to follow ICM but they feel overwhelmed... so I want to make it as easy as possible for them... file dump talk through what you want why you want it (principle of asking why like 5 times) and then showing them why it is structured like that how it is connected. (did I just go on a tangent... yes)## (Start reading here if you skipped ) So the question: What question do/did you wish your AI (claude/gemini/whatever) asked you before starting your project/build/system/structure... (like seriously please help me do research on this) ##Edit pictures for before and after - so the pre-planner question: just to add additional questions to gain more understanding of things that have gone wrong in other peoples builds so I can pre-empt it by answering it and making it part of the "non-negotiable list" or asking these questions to the person using this - so I could now enter anything in my pre-planner folder - I do my file dump - questions asked for clarity from Claude (common mistake questions asked and clarity gained - so I do not keep making the same newbie mistakes) - it gives me full ICM structured that is tailored to that specific person and it is sorted and - like it should be - but again when building for someone else and not getting money for it I prefer them to answer the questions - and I could only think of the questions I already had and common mistakes I made in the beginning by not understanding "the what" "the why" And again Jake's questions are great - but people who don't know what they don't know or how to answer it always then it is up to you to get clarity... but I am doing it for free so wanted to pre-empt the clarity questions a bit##
