Happy July! Check Out My ICM-Based Workspace Auto-Initialiser!
Happy July People! ------------------------------ What I'm sharing here today is the thing I wish I had when I first understood the importance of ICM and other context management practices in ensuring great AI performance: I have made an ICM-formatted auto-initialiser for Codex! It's called: `MJ-ICMAI-Codex`. Version 0.5, and my first real contribution to this community! Sections of this post: - A personal anecdote about who I am, what led me here, and why I made this (3~ min read) - Technical rundown and features of this project, and why you might want to try it for yourself. Personal anecdote: ------------------------------- If we haven't met yet, my name is Malcolm. My journey into using AI started with ignorance and distrust, as I inherited the blanket opinion that AI is a net negative and another blow to the music industry from my university. I studied Music Production & Sound Engineering in Bristol, U.K, and I had an absolute blast! I did session guitar work, multiple live performances including festivals, all different sorts of music production/recording/audio experiments, and met amazing people. I could not have had a better time, but with all that said, the opinion on AI was really negative. People automatically assumed that it would cripple the already-struggling industry even more, and was just another thing used to ruin our lives in one way or another. I cannot blame them for this perception. At the very least, generative AI used to undermine real musicians, artists, and producers threatens to fundamentally reshape the dynamics of the industry, as it does in other industries. I have since realized that taste, trust, and community as leverageable aspects of professionals/brands across all industries will rival IF NOT outweigh the impact of AI in these fields, but regardless; at the time I didn't much consider using AI myself, that's for sure. My perspective has changed alongside my growth and openness to life's lessons since I left university, as us graduates have been collectively dealing with maybe the hardest, most uncertain job market in recent history. Not to beat this dead horse any more than need be, but the music industry is especially skint, cut-throat, and scarce when it comes to graduate jobs. Despite leaving uni a year ago with a first-class honors, a self-produced album, and plenty of relevant extra-curricular experience including festival performances and studio work, I have had 0 luck of any kind (not even as much as an interview!) when applying for traditional industry roles, of which I have applied for dozens. Call me naïve, but it's a tough pill to swallow either way; these last few months I've been taking things into my own hands.

1. Yes 2. That's a good idea for integrating initial, already-formed context into the setup, but why would they be using this workspace auto initializer if they already have some sort of AI workspace which they are already operating out of? (maybe they just want a new setup/to start from scratch with a whole ne workspace). This is sort of geared towards a beginner with AI and/or someone in my position, but that's good food for thought in terms of being able to address a wider variety of use-cases in people and experience levels. With that in mind, I think the holy grail in this sort of way is to have some sort of tool or PROMPT even which goes ahead and completely fixes the content of an existing project or entire workspace setup either, but that's a lot harder than what I've done here and probably is best not outsourcing for now. Thanks for the feedback!

High tea
High tea at 3am is kinda rough. Are there a lot of us in my timezone? Anything we could do for our region or best to just watch the recordings?

Loving this community and learning from it, being a part of it. I'm getting the hang of ICM and am interested in using it to the best of my ability in my own setup, so I figured I'd find a way to share that: I'm making a mirror to my personal ICM based folder/file system by making an automatic agentic ICM file/folder initializer for new users of Codex which my agent mirrors based off of my own setup, but with some extra features: onboarding workspace personalisation procedure (recommended first projects/workflows/automations after an onboarding QnA with the user), agentic calibration towards user's AI understanding/knowledge, and per-project ICM-based onboarding procedure. All of it is supposed to be automatic, and I can update it at anytime based on my own setup with my own automation that I run which updates that packages' templates and onboarding procedure as I direct it to and as it finds how my own setup has been optimized. Hope that makes sense. The system is basically something I wish I had as I started with AI and ICM after that, and how these things can be used in tandem. Obviously, as I get better, this will change a lot as well. For now, it's just for the Codex app, but if people like it I'll expand it for other harnesses/AI apps). It is supposed to be for a solo user's entire Codex app management/processes/projects and project management: ICM is all over it, including in the onboarding process. You use the onboarding prompt in the package, and it starts the onboarding process: 1. The onboarding prompt invokes a packaged skill called 'Grill Me' which I've found and adapted; It asks the user a series of onboarding questions related to their identity, experience with AI, and what they want to leverage AI to do, amongst other things. This is done in a QnA-style format, some set questions and some procedural, and it informs the way in which the agent acts with the user from there. 2. After the questions (some of which are set and some of which are procedural), the agent initializes the `.codex` folder (global home for auth/state/tools/skills/etc.) and `Codex` folder (project directory) based on premade ICM machine-readable organization principles which are implemented in my own setup, according to my own rules (did a lot of research about why I'd use this file organization rule here and not there, etc.). 3. Initial workspace maintenance automations are configured as part of the initialization. 4. Comes with a project onboarding skill which helps users onboard new Codex projects in a way which implants ICM-based top-level project-specific context files into the projects as the skill is invoked (it also uses the 'Grill Me' skill to contextualise the project for the user after an onboarding QnA. 5. Ideally, it goes on to teach people about ICM and AI and the potential of it all as it goes depending on how the user responds to that question in the onboarding discussion

Hey Clief Notes crew — AI hackers, stack-builders, and workflow wizards!
If you’re deep in Level 3 “Building Your Stack” or just tired of wrestling with half-baked AI memory hacks, I’ve got something you’re going to love. **Meet OB1 — Open Brain** . It’s not another rabbit hole. It’s the infrastructure layer for your thinking: One database + one AI gateway + one chat channel — and any AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, whatever drops next month) plugs straight in. No middleware. No SaaS chains. No Zapier spaghetti. Why this matters right now (the pain we all feel) Right now “managed memories” are a vendor-lock-in trap: - Claude has its own memory. - ChatGPT has its own memory. - Cursor has its own. - Every new model that ships next quarter will have its own. Your life story, your household knowledge, your job-hunt pipeline, your taste preferences — they’re all trapped inside proprietary silos. Want to switch providers? Start from zero. Want to let two AIs talk about the same context? Build brittle integrations and pay for every hop. Want semantic recall across tools? Good luck.That’s not hacking — that’s renting brain space from landlords who can change the locks whenever they feel like it. OB1 flips the script You get one single source of truth: a Supabase Postgres table (thoughts) with built-in vector search. Every AI talks to the same persistent memory of you through an open Model Communication Protocol (MCP) gateway. - Capture thoughts via Slack/Discord/email → instantly embedded and indexed. - Any AI reads/writes with row-level security so your household data stays private. - No more copy-paste hell. No more “which model remembers what?” It’s literally the open brain layer that the big vendors refuse to give you — because once you own your memory, you own your stack. Built for us The repo is designed for exactly the kind of people in this skool: - 45-minute AI-assisted setup (Cursor or Claude Code can literally build it for you from the README). - Extensions folder with ready-to-extend modules (household KB, meal planner, CRM, job-hunt pipeline). - Primitives, schemas, recipes, and dashboards so you can fork, remix, and ship your own agent memory layers. - Full TypeScript + Python + Supabase stack — perfect for the “custom UIs + infrastructure” crowd.

ICM is not equal to automation?
Do I understand correctly that ICM is not automation and never will be? It's human review "gated" workflows to produce some sort of deliverable? Not intended to run unattended or in an application? Maybe people have created ICM workflows and built a Claude code browser interface for end users and delivered this way? Is any of this true? I mean. I understand anything is possible. But am I understanding the design of ICM correctly? Purpose built workstation but not application automation.
