Pinned
Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
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?

I interviewed a Chief AI officer
NLP Logix was founded in 2011 so if you wanna talk about being in AI before it was cool this company did it. Matt, the Chief AI officer sat down with me and chatted over what matters in the ai age. Check it out! (and go leave a comment on the YouTube video if you have time please!) They are looking at showing up to one of the next High Teas so keep an eye out for that announcement!

🏆 WEEKLY COMP #3: THE SPECIALIST 🏆
💰 $325 CASH PRIZE 💰 That's a full year of Premium. Win this and your membership pays for itself. 📋 THE CHALLENGE You just got hired again. Different client this time. Meet Sarah, a freelance copywriter who's drowning in context-switching. 📎 Download the full client brief attached to this post. Short version: She works with three types of clients (SaaS founders, ecommerce brands, local service businesses) and starts from scratch every project. She doesn't need another tool. She needs a system. Your job is to build her a folder-based AI specialist she can drop into any Claude project. The folder IS the deliverable. 🗂️ THIS WEEK YOU LEARN ICM Up until now, comps have been "build a thing." This week you utilize the methodology taught throughout the community. 🧠 Folders as architecture. That's it. That's the whole concept this week. Your specialist is a folder with five things: - 📄 identity.md (who they are) - 📐 rules.md (how they respond) - 💬 examples.md (what good looks like) - 📚 reference/ (source material) - 📖 README.md (how to use it) Drop the folder into a Claude project. Claude becomes the specialist. Reusable. Shareable. Portable. 🎯 PICK YOUR SPECIALIST Don't pick copywriting. That's Sarah's example. Pick something YOU would actually use. A few sparks to get you thinking: - A salary negotiation coach - A meal planner that knows your dietary restrictions - A code reviewer for your stack - A real estate market analyst for your city - A technical recruiter screener - A grant writer for nonprofits in your space The more specific, the better. "Marketing expert" is not a specialist. "B2B email expert for enterprise SaaS targeting CFOs" is. 💼 WHY THIS ONE LANDS ON YOUR RESUME Real talk. Winning a comp in a Skool community doesn't get you a job by itself. But shipping a working folder-based AI specialist with a clean README and a public repo? That's a portfolio piece.
40-prompt par: fork the codebase, ship the Mario Kart twist
I built a working multiplayer mini-golf game. Lobby codes, real-time ball sync, Cloudflare Durable Objects on the back, Discord Embedded App SDK on the front, three holes, emotes. It runs. That's the floor. Now I'm handing it to you. The challenge. Fork the repo. Add a Mario Kart style twist: one player's action affects another player's ball. Banana peel, ink cloud, magnet, kraken grab, putter-jam. Pick your mechanic. Ship it as a functional multiplayer build. Par: 40 prompts. Every message you type to your AI of choice counts as one. Manual edits are free. Reading code is free. Tool calls inside a single prompt are free. The number is the messages. Rules in the README. Log every prompt to PROMPT_LOG.md in your fork, honour system, lowest count under par wins. → github.com/PUSHINGSQUARES/pirate-putty The reason for 40 is not the code. The interesting work is the brief. You can't brute-force this. You have to think before you type, batch the asks, design the mechanic on paper, then deliver the spec in fewer, denser prompts. That is the skill. The game is the proof. HAVE FUN!!! //A<3
