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?

🚨 You've been asking when the Lyceum opens. The waitlist is live. 🚨
The waitlist is up and seats are limited, so this is your nudge to go lock yours in. 👇 New here? Quick context. 👀 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: 🎯 Three cohorts, Technical, Business, and Creator. Same methodology, built around what you actually do. 🎥 Live sessions with Jake and a full team of instructors. ♾️ Lifetime recordings, written curriculum, and a private cohort Discord. 📜 An Eduba ICM certification you can put on your resume. And a guarantee no course makes: ✅ You leave with a working product, or the team finishes it with you. ⏳ Seats are limited and this community moves fast, so the math is not in your favor if you wait. 💡 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. 🔥 👉 https://lyceum.eduba.io

Built a reusable Claude Code project template that wires Jake's three-layer routing system into a full session architecture.
The template integrates three frameworks: Van Clief's routing (the structural backbone), Karpathy's behavioral rules (think before acting, minimum viable scope, surgical changes, goal-driven execution), and IBE intent preservation (the "why" behind every decision). Each tier has a clear job — CLAUDE.md routes, workspace context files carry domain knowledge, skills wire selectively per task. The core addition on top of Jake's routing: a session state pattern (STATE.md) that eliminates cold-start friction. Each session closes by setting the next session's intent. Work becomes a directed sequence rather than a series of isolated conversations. Results from two validations (a meta-framework design project and a non-software operational coordination project): - Zero context re-establishment at session start - Zero intent-misaligned rework - Second project stood up in ~25 min on first attempt, no structural modifications needed Template is public: https://gitlab.com/vigilkeep/ibe-workflow-template Happy to share the ADR that documents the one deliberate deviation from 3.3 guidance (CLAUDE.md runs ~70 lines instead of 40–50 — there's a specific reason).
