Finished My First ICM Test Project

I just joined this community this morning, went through the Foundation class, I already had a good understanding of folder structure, been using Claude and Claude Code for 2 years, then went through the AI Animations & Workflows up to 1.7, the mp4 download.

Here's my new video test from the project; https://vimeo.com/1237753757?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

Now, if you will excuse me, I must go create my second test project for task 1.8 building on this first video.

Interesting process. I didn't really need to give Claude Code the prompts in the video lessons after the first prompt, it knew what to do already. This tells me that the instructions in the .md files are working and I could see as the project was built that it stuck to only the tools it needed.

I used only 7% of my 1M context window to get to the mp4 rendering, which is incredible considering the amount of token spend I'm used to using. For transparency I have the Claude Max 200 plan.

I'm in the process of adding every parcel in the US to a database, I started in April 2026, and I'm using Claude Code to accomplish it. We eat through context tokens like wildfire and even the starter prompt for each session is at 20% context window before we even get moving.

I've already asked Claude if the ICM framework for continuing the ingest of all the parcels, there are ~119M in the database as of today, is feasible and Claude said this will solve our memory and history issue, as I have hit their limits and it's been dropping the older sessions.

I look forward to learning more, and starting my first real build from scratch, before I I add the framework to my property-registry project, and I will continue to report my progress.
