1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

(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

I just realized something today, Jake's first classroom lesson isn't about Claude Code. It's a history lesson. Titled "A 2,000-Year Overnight Success." The argument: AI is not 70 years old. https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/d7ae60cf?md=147b0e486c964ba78a70cdc1d2d40c5d I don't need to rehash it here; if you skipped it, go back to read it. It was the first weekend of April, I had found Jake's videos the week before, then discovered Skool and dove into the classroom. I made a commitment to myself to read each page, not throw them into NotebookLM for the summary. To my disappointment, I see a super long history lesson. I sink into my chair. Eventually, I get to the end. AlphaGo. I had never heard of AlphaGo before; somehow, that story had slipped past me. I queued up YouTube on my TV and sat down for a Saturday evening documentary. Fascinating! AlphaZero started tabula rasa. Blank slate, no domain-specific human knowledge. Just the rules and play against yourself. In four hours, it rediscovered centuries of chess openings, endgames, and positional theory - then kept going past what humans ever found. Kasparov called it "like discovering the secret notebooks of some great player from the past." Those moves weren't invented. They were already in the game. The truth was latent in the mathematical structure of chess. AlphaZero excavated it. That's the archaeologist move - applied to a machine. It didn't study the tradition. It played to the pattern. Jake's throughline: "The mistake is thinking these layers replace each other. They don't. They stack." In the classroom, he could have started with how to prompt or an explanation of what a harness is. Instead, he started with the source of the whole thing. Because you can't build conviction on a trend. A pattern that's held for two thousand years isn't a trend. That's proof. I've worked with a family lumber business. 125 years old. Founded 1900, delivering coal by horse and buggy. Today, it's digital marketing, performance ads, algorithms, and closed-loop lead tracking. Every generation rebuilt what the company looked like. But the fourth-generation president still says what his father said: "Young man, we're not in the lumber business. We're in the shelter business." The tools stacked. The belief didn't.

Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it. Simple, scannable, gives you data on who's joining and what they need, and keeps the feed clear for content that retains people past week one.

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.
