⭐ I am waiting on some feedback on this, I could be off with my read, I am willing to be wrong in public so we can all be right when we are building in private! The rules feel like they contradict each other week to week. They don't. 📍 WEEK 6 AT A GLANCE — THE RESEARCHER https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/weekly-comp-6-the-researcher?p=fa674d82 🔬 Build: a single folder-based AI researcher for ONE specific domain (you pick). Five files, single folder — so no handoff.md and no context.md this week. 🚫 The angle: a researcher is NOT a summarizer. It asks what's missing, questions the framing, weighs sources by credibility, and asks clarifying questions before it produces. That lives in rules.md ⚖️ New wrinkle this week: judging adds "does it weigh sources / flag uncertainty?" — bake that into rules.md. 📨 Submit: public GitHub repo + 2-3 sentences on what your researcher covers and what work it's best for. 🎟️ Prize: a free Lyceum seat (pick cohort — Technical / Business / Creator). 📅 Due: Sunday, May 31, 12:00 PM EST (shifted for Memorial Day). Winner Mon June 1. Premium + VIP only. 👇—My Take Below! How the rules have read to me since my first entry and getting a bit of clarity🔮 💡There's a spine that never moves and a set of dials that change every Sunday. Once you can tell those apart, the whole thing gets a lot less stressful. ⚠️This is the post I wish I'd had before I submitted, hopefully it brings clarity to an awesome community opportunity! These competitions are like mini boot camps, the tools you take away compound. 🧩 One part to focus on is the use of: context.md 📑The lessons teach ICM with a context.md in basically every directory. Then the comp spec lists five files identity.md, rules.md, example.md, reference/, README.md, and context.md is nowhere. 🤔 So, you sit there wondering if the spec is wrong, or if you're supposed to "know better" and add it. ⚠️ Here's how I am seeing it fits. context.md is a routing file. Its whole job is navigation: in a multi-directory system, it tells the AI what lives in a given directory and where to find it. It earns its place when there's enough material that the AI would otherwise waste effort hunting.

TLDR: My co-worker has been manually extracting data from 100s of files one at a time and manually managing files for years. This is a longterm client with set workflow. Usually takes him 2 days and I set up a workflow that will do it in a few minutes. Showed my boss and CEO and got the ok to get a Claude MAX seat. Context: I'm a sound designer and work at a post-production audio studio that also does games. The post engineers work on a lot of projects that require manual setup. They were griping at lunch about how they have to open hundreds of text files to find 1 single line of data that they need during their edit session and then manually qa it against the session when it's setup. It sounded like hell to me so I asked if they wouldn't mind showing me what they have to do and they literally manually open each folder, find the text file, write down on a piece of paper the number and then enter it by hand in the computer later. I spent 10 minutes and described to claude what I needed a python file to do. It gave it back to me and the script was able to extract the data they needed in seconds. But that got me thinking, I know there's a python library that works with Pro Tools (our audio editing software), and the current weekly contest is about making a specialist... COuld I make a specialist in Protools Python scripting that can tailor workflows to any engineer? So I spent about 4 hours speccing an ICM folder that specializes in Python Scripting for Pro Tools. Brought it to work today and --- it didn't work -- immediately at least. IN practice discovered there were errors in the documentation for the python library, so we had to fix the documentation. But after that was able to create a contained python script anybody could run and showed my co-workers and ceo. They were super excited about the possibilities and when I asked if I could go ahead and get a Claude Max subscription they said yes immediately. Might also be showing the wider company the setup and what's possible next Monday. Was totally worth staying up all night yesterday to get this out 🤣
