I just recorded a walkthrough of this but I want to lay it out here too.
I've been building an instructor kit. A full folder architecture (yes, the same method I teach) designed to help people in this community create real courses. Not loose tutorials. Not "here's a tip" posts. Structured, formatted courses that fit into what we're building here and actually teach someone something useful.
The kit has my writing rules, my lesson templates, a course outline system, sample lessons, and a prompt you can hand to Claude or any AI to help you write content that matches the community format. You can use it with Claude Code and a full folder setup, or you can just copy and paste a single file into any AI chat and start building. Both paths work.
🎯 Why I'm doing this.
This community has grown fast. 12,500+ members. The courses I've built so far cover the foundation: folder architecture, the abstraction series, Claude Code, prompting frameworks. But I'm one person. There are people in this community who know things I don't. Who have built things I haven't. Who could teach topics I can't cover with the depth they deserve.
The way I see it, Clief Notes should operate more like a university than a course platform.
Sections and departments, each run by someone who actually has depth in that subject. Your course, your name on it, your expertise. I provide the structure, the audience, the format, and the quality control.
You bring the knowledge.
💰 What's in it for you right now.
I want to be straight about this. Early on, the main thing I can offer instructors is free VIP access for as long as your course is live and maintained. That gets you into every tier of the community, the live sessions, the recordings, the Discord, everything.
As this grows and I can see what kind of attention and value the instructor courses bring in, I want to move toward profit sharing or payouts for instructors whose courses are driving real engagement. I'm still working out exactly how that looks. I'd rather figure it out with real data than promise something I can't deliver yet. What I can promise is that this will not stay volunteer-only forever. The goal is for this to be worth your time in every sense.
📋 How it works.
1️⃣ Grab the instructor kit from the Discord (link below)
2️⃣ Read through the context files: style guide, templates, sample lesson. Get a feel for how we build here
3️⃣ Come up with a course idea and fill out the outline template. What you want to teach, who it's for, a rough lesson list, and one sample lesson showing you can deliver
4️⃣ Post your outline in #content-organization on Discord. I review it, leave feedback, and we work through it together in the thread
5️⃣ Once approved, you build your lessons using the kit. When they're ready, I add them to Skool and make them live
Creative freedom matters here. I'm giving you the format and the style guide so everything feels like it belongs in the same community, but the ideas, the topics, the teaching approach, that's yours. The style guide makes sure anything you create can be adjusted to fit the theme. I review everything before it goes live, but the goal is to help you make it better, not to rewrite it into my voice.
🚪 If you want in.
Join the Discord through the instructor link below.
You'll land in the Instructors section where you can grab the kit, post ideas, and start building. If you're already in Discord with the Instructor role, you're set.
Even if you're not sure yet, come grab the kit and look through it. You might be surprised how much easier it is to build a course when the structure is already there.
