So this one is the ultimate Clief Notes community bringing disparate threads together post. So reader, consider this your warning upfront. @Alyshia Perri and I were talking and she was keen to get feedback on her entry in the coach competition. I tried to do that in DM to begin with, and then realised I was babbling. I asked her permission to fork it and make my edits so I could *show* her what I was trying to describe and she gave me that permission. None of the rest of this happens without her and she also gave me permission to post this. So here’s a brave woman who’s willing to let me link to a repo showing how I messed with her baby because I couldn’t find better words for the teaching. Please tell her how awesome she is, because that is *gutsy*. One of the coaching offerings in this repo was “board mode” which runs an idea past three different perspectives, each with a different agenda and angle of attack to help the user. I’m going to be upfront and say these sorts of mechanics in AI are generally not to my taste for a bunch of reasons. I don’t think they are effective, let’s keep it to that. But on my mind was the recent podcast by @Curtis Hays and @Brooke Hays showing the impact of using Jungian thinking archetypes / Myers-Briggs profiles to genuinely give the way agents approach things different flavours. What I did: - I got the model to do a sub-agent pass first using the roles as written - I took the three roles as stated and identified which profiles applied to these roles from my point of view - the skeptical stakeholder got “ESTJ”, the peer who has been burned got “ISFJ”, future self got “INFJ”. Then we did it again and compared the outputs - I added two new roles that I felt were missing - the logic stress tester (INTP) and the values-holder (INFP) - I felt off the results of these that Amund as the synthesiser was missing a trick. I tried two separate synthesis passes (over the first rounds, the second round, and all five together) - one using an ENFJ synthesiser and another using an INTJ one.

🎟️ PRIZE: FREE SEAT IN THE LYCEUM 🎟️ Pick your cohort. Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. ---- 📋 THE CHALLENGE You are the client this week. No fictional Marcus. No fictional Sarah. No fictional Devon. Pick a real problem in your own life or work. Build the folder-based specialist you wish you had. This is the capstone of Month 2. The challenge flips. Instead of building for someone else, you write your own brief and solve it for yourself. ---- 🎯 THE TWIST The hard part isn't building. The hard part is scoping. Picking the right problem is harder than solving the wrong one. Most people pick problems that are too small or too vague. The skill this week is treating yourself like a real client. Be specific about what's broken. Be specific about what you need. Don't pick "I want to be more productive." Pick "I waste two hours every Sunday night writing the same kind of LinkedIn carousel posts and I need a folder that handles 80% of the draft work so I can focus on the hook and the visuals." That's a real brief. Specific problem. Specific scope. Specific desired output. ---- 🗂️ TWO DELIVERABLES THIS WEEK This is the only week with two pieces: 1️⃣ Your own client brief. 250 words or less. Describe the problem you're solving for yourself. Treat yourself like a real client. What's broken? What have you already tried? What do you need? 2️⃣ The folder system that solves it. Same structure as every week: - 📄 identity.md - 📐 rules.md - 💬 examples.md - 📚 reference/ - 📖 README.md Your brief lives at the top of the repo as brief.md so judges can read it before they look at the folder. ---- 🔥 THE ANGLE THIS WEEK Anyone can follow a brief. Writing your own, then solving it, then shipping it as a usable folder is a portfolio piece that demonstrates judgment, not just execution. This is the skill that separates "AI hobbyist" from "AI builder." Anyone can prompt their way through a problem someone else handed them. Scoping a problem, designing the solution, and shipping it as a system is what real work looks like. 💪

(and a small change to how we run these) Hello everyone!! 👋 First, the honest bit. This one is landing later than Monday, and on purpose. Two things got us here. One, a lot more of you are submitting now. If I am going to really sit with every entry and give it a proper look, a weekend is not enough. This round I went through all of them, watched the videos, opened the repos, the full pass. That takes time and I would rather do it right than rush it. Two, I could feel a few of you running hot. Weekly is a sprint, and burnout was starting to creep in for some. So we are moving to bi-weekly. More room to build, more room to breathe, and the time for me to actually review the work the way it deserves. 🎥 Quick word on the videos. They were a step up this round. Some of the animated walkthroughs and live demos were a genuine pleasure to watch, and yes, I weigh them. A clean demo that shows the thing actually working makes a real difference. However I don't want that to ALWAYS be a requirement. Also you will notice the Heavy hitters that you usually see up here are not currently, some posted late and I decided to let the new entries and first timers also have a chance as well! But certainly, check the original post as every submission has something for you to learn from : 💰 Competition 7 ➖➖➖ 🛠️ A FEW THAT STOOD OUT (in no order, and if you didn't make it, it doesn't mean yours wasn't great) The Pipeline Operator — @Jayden Forshee Runs a whole sales pipeline. Paste a lead and it grades it, writes the outreach, and moves the card itself. The live board where you watch cards move on their own, sat right next to a normal chatbot, was one of the clearest ways anyone has shown what an operator actually is. https://github.com/griffainai/studio-pipeline-operator Board: https://pipeline-operator.vercel.app/board

Hi Clief Notes Community! If you have not met me yet, my name is Bas and I am one of the members of our community! ⭐EDIT* Apparently there is a vote going on whether or not I should change my profile picture. https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/petition-to-change-bas-profile-photo?p=abbdd137 Clief Notes is a very special place to me and I am always trying to bring us value so we can learn, grow and win together! 🤓💪🏆 So, I have already shared the Praxis Library a 255-page tribute to prompt engineering and AI literacy. After a recent post @Curtis Hays made about me, and after I wiped the tears from my eyes, I started to build something new, and I am building that something for us. Curtis Post You all joke that I'm a bot. 🤖 So I made one. Meet Bas 2.0, the curator of a new work in progress library at askbas.com. (Coming Soon page is up) I can't always be in the thread the second you get stuck, so I built a version of me that can be. Tell him what you're after and he'll pull it off the shelf for you, day or night. 📝NOTE: Not on the shelf yet? Bas 2.0 will open a search in the site and look up the ask with you, and he will send me a notification so we can look into what you wanted to see and add it to the pages of the library for others who could learn from the lesson. 📚 What's on the shelves: - 🌐A working library of AI Knowledge, ICM, context engineering, model tutorials, and multi-agent systems. - 🏫 Learning paths for wherever you are: a Beginner's Path, a Practitioner's Path, and an ICM Deep Dive. - 🤝 A hands-on how-to library, from Claude Code, Co-Work, and Design to ChatGPT, Goals, and Codex all the way through to Skills to building your own agents. - 📝 Lessons built to make this click, not just to fill a page.
