Just started to use codex - does anyone have a conversion and example i could use as the basis of further learning and developing ?

Some of you are building right now. You're building a workflow, or an app, or an automation. If you're not a scaredy-cat, tell us what you're building!!!! I'll go first... MY PASSION PROJECT: I am building a free app for independent house cleaners everywhere, so they can professionalize themselves. MY REAL WORK: Otherwise, I'm building automations in my company that are were previously being done manually by an administrator. We're in a hiring frenzy, so I just built workflow automations that tracked where every candidate was in our pipeline, while simultaneously assessing them on communication and skills and moving them forward if they responded. My main admin was actually so happy I figured this out, because she usually has to go through resumes one by one to filter out all the obvious NO's, which takes many hours. I can't wait to know!

For those of you who enjoy the academic side of things, here is the current draft of the research paper I am writing that supports my "Folder" methodology in much greater detail. And for those of you who don't just copy and paste the paper into AI and have it explain it to you ha-ha. The core idea is simple. Instead of building complicated software to coordinate AI agents, you use folders and plain text files. Each folder is a step in your workflow. Inside each folder, a markdown file tells the AI what to do at that step. The AI reads the right folder at the right moment, does its work, and drops the result where the next step can pick it up. You review the output at each step and edit anything that needs fixing before moving on. The whole thing runs on your computer with no special infrastructure. For the technical readers: the paper traces this back through Unix pipeline design, Parnas's information hiding, multi-pass compilation, and literate programming. It formalizes a five-layer context hierarchy (identity, routing, stage contracts, reference material, working artifacts) and reports on practitioner findings from this community, including the U-shaped intervention pattern several of you have seen in your own workspaces. It also lays out future directions around semantic debugging and output provenance that I think will interest anyone building complex pipelines. Feedback welcome, especially from those of you running your own workspaces. [2603.16021] Interpretable Context Methodology: Folder Structure as Agentic Architecture

New lesson and Module dropped in The Foundation. Module 0.1: Where All Of This Leads. Main video is also on YouTube. 📍This is one of my favorite videos I have ever made. It pulls the whole methodology together in one sitting and showcases a few tools my team has been building on the back end. The dialogue extraction tool Kay built, the voice-controlled Claude Code setup we ran in a live call, the full content pipeline running from one folder. 📝Watch it no matter where you are in the course. If you are brand new, it shows you where this all leads. If you have been here a while, it shows you what we have been quietly building. 🔗 Module Zero is where I will place new foundational videos as time goes on as well. 0.1: Where All Of This Leads - The Foundation · Clief Notes Comments are open. Curious which part stands out most for you.

Hey everyone, If you’ve been quietly struggling with learning how to build or what to build, you’re not alone. I’ve seen the posts, and I know how frustrating it can feel when things don’t click. I wanted to try to do something about it. I built a custom AI Tutor that has the complete knowledge and teaching style of @Jake Van Clief and @Matthew Creamer’s Foundations courses. Think of Jake as the professor. This agent is your dedicated Teacher’s Assistant who sits with you one-on-one. Here’s why it’s different: • It walks you through every concept step by step, exactly as Jake outlines them • You’re not just chatting or watching videos. You’re actually building files and folders together in Claude • It checks your work in real time and won’t let you move forward until you truly understand • It speaks in their voice and follows their exact methodology This is the hands-on practice and patient guidance a lot of us have been missing. How to try it: 1. Grab the repo 2. Follow the README 3. Open the folder in Claude and let the tutor take over I’m very proud of how it turned out and I want this to help as many people as possible. We just crossed 30,000 members! Let’s make sure every single one of us has the support they need to actually master this stuff. If you try it, please drop a comment and let me know: • Did it help you understand a concept that was confusing before? • What worked well? • What could be better? I want your honest feedback so we can keep improving it together. I’d love it if this could turn into a proper community teaching tool we all build and evolve. Link in comments 👇
