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?

๐Ÿšจ You've been asking when the Lyceum opens. The waitlist is live. ๐Ÿšจ
The waitlist is up and seats are limited, so this is your nudge to go lock yours in. ๐Ÿ‘‡ New here? Quick context. ๐Ÿ‘€ The Lyceum is Jake's live cohort program built on ICM, the methodology 35,000 people in this community are already using to get real results with AI. The short version: folders over agents. You learn the layer underneath the tools, the one that keeps working when the next model drops. Full breakdown is on the site. Here's what's inside: ๐ŸŽฏ Three cohorts, Technical, Business, and Creator. Same methodology, built around what you actually do. ๐ŸŽฅ Live sessions with Jake and a full team of instructors. โ™พ๏ธ Lifetime recordings, written curriculum, and a private cohort Discord. ๐Ÿ“œ An Eduba ICM certification you can put on your resume. And a guarantee no course makes: โœ… You leave with a working product, or the team finishes it with you. โณ Seats are limited and this community moves fast, so the math is not in your favor if you wait. ๐Ÿ’ก Pricing and start dates aren't public yet. The waitlist sees them first, gives feedback on timing, and gets in before the program opens. Everything you want to know is on the page. If you already know this is for you, get on it. ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://lyceum.eduba.io

โš ๏ธ HEADS UP: PHISHING ATTEMPTS IN THE COMMUNITY โš ๏ธ
We've noticed people sending out phishing links in DMs and comments. Quick PSA to keep everyone safe. ---- ๐Ÿ›‘ THE RULE If someone you don't recognize is sending you links, asking for money, asking for login info, or telling you to "claim a prize" outside of an official competition post, it's not us. Don't click. Don't reply. Just delete. ---- ๐Ÿ’ฐ HOW WE ACTUALLY HANDLE MONEY We will never send you money out of the blue. The only time you'll hear from us about money is if you've won a competition. When that happens, Sonija is the only person on our team who will reach out to collect your payment info to send your prize. If anyone else DMs you asking for payment details, banking info, or "verification" to release a prize, it's not us. Report it!! ---- ๐Ÿšจ IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE 1. Don't click any links 2. Don't reply 3. Screenshot it if you can 4. Send the screenshot to Jake, Matt, or a mod so we can deal with it We're going to keep this community a safe place to build and learn. Thanks for looking out for each other. ๐Ÿ™

Knowledge extraction pipeline for YouTube videos. Use this on Jake's videos!!!
You watch a lot of content in this space. Demos, walkthroughs, systems builds, production case studies. Some of it is genuinely valuable. Most of it evaporates. A summary gives you a shorter version of what was said. What you want to know is: is there anything here worth keeping, what's the mechanism behind it, and what would you build differently knowing it? What this does: YouTube URL in. Claude extracts 3-7 discrete claims worth keeping. Each one gets: - Concept - the core assertion - Mechanism - the causal explanation (the most important field) - So what - what you'd build or decide differently - Open questions - what this raises but doesn't answer Appended to a local markdown log you own. Real example, from Curtis Hays's Collideascope OS walkthrough: Concept: ICM deploys fast only when the doctrine layer is already documented. The folder structure is the last step, not the first. Mechanism: Curtis had 8 months of prior work before touching the ICM - documented beliefs, brand voice, organizational why/how/what, all in markdown. He brought that corpus in and said "organize it using this structure." The system came together quickly because the content existed. Without pre-existing doctrine, the ICM produces mechanics without a belief layer. So what: Before building the folder structure, ask: is the doctrine layer written down? Cloning a blueprint without existing beliefs produces a technically correct but contextually empty system. That's not in any summary. That comes from extraction. How repo works: Primary mode uses Claude Code with your existing subscription. No API key needed.Three components, each with one job: fetch_ transcript.py gets the transcript, prompts/extract_default.md tells Claude what to look for, CONTEXT.md tells Claude Code how to run the workflow. The prompt file is the thing to edit. The scripts are plumbing.
