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?

🌶️ CINCO DE MAYO FIRESALE — STARTS NOW 🌶️
Locked in for the next 5 days only. Ends May 5th at 10:00 AM EST. No exceptions. 🎉 Premium: $27 → $14/mo 🎉 VIP: $97 → $67/mo The closest you'll get to our original launch pricing. We're doing this because the community has shown up for us, and we want to show up back. 🤝 🔥 Already a member? Read this carefully. To lock in the new rate, you need to: 1. Cancel your current plan 2. Resign under the new price That's the only way the system can apply the new rate. We have way too many members for manual refunds, so we can't refund anyone who just signed up at current pricing. But the savings stack month over month, so if you plan to stick around (and you should 😁), the math works out fast. 🚫 A few ground rules: Please do not DM myself or Jake about pricing, exceptions, or extensions. We love you, but we're a small team and we need to stay focused on building. Everyone gets the same window. Everyone gets the same deal. If you miss it, you miss it. We'll do more things for the community down the road. ⏰ The clock: 🟢 LIVE NOW 🔴 Locks May 5th, 10:00 AM EST - Premium gets you The Vault and Afternoon Tea calls. - VIP gets you The Drawing Room, High Tea, and bespoke folder builds from Jake himself.

How do you like to brainstorm? (For writing)
Context: I want to pitch a few talks to conferences in my field (game audio), and its not something I do regularly so I don't have established workflow for it. I do write linkedin posts and prep for my DND sessions, but that output is significantly different than a 30m to 1hr talk. I've been doing one approach, which I'll outline below, but I'm wondering if others have done this and have a more efficient way of getting to a final result, the below took me 2 sessions both a few hours each, and I'd love to compress that. Wondering about other approaches or resources to help create a better framework. Current process (captured in a skill after finishing last submission): 1. Claude asks : "What could you talk about from memory right now, without looking anything up?" and "What do you know how to do, or think about, that most people in your field don't?" (this takes a long time) 2. feed it which conference, deadline, and format the talk submission is 3. Claude researches past accepted talks for fit and content 4. We lock in thesis, pillars, and target audience (this takes the longest) 5. we do a draft in this order: Description, takeaway, outline 6. Pre-submission review (this part is easy with humanizer and the conference form submission) Wondering if there are places I could improve? And how would others approach this?
The stack that works for me
There are two skills in Claude that I use over everything else that have been really successful for me. I love the folder system here and I use something similar just to keep things organized. As I'm sure most people have heard of Superpowers and I think it's good to a point. Superpowers is good at brainstorming and asking me the questions I didn't consider but it's bad on execution. That's where GSD or Get Shit Done comes in. It can take the plan from Superpowers, break it down into Phases and Waves and then you verify at every checkpoint to make sure a certain feature works. This effectively allows me to "one-shot" apps and make sure it works along the way. The part of the stack that I don't have nailed down yet (leaning into my cyber security background a bit) is security and just trying to make sure we cover stuff like prompt/code injection for example. Does anyone else have a similar stack or different process?
