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. If you've been on the fence, this is the moment. 🚀 Tag a friend who needs to be in here. Let's make Cinco a movement. 🎊 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Console Injection: Turn Any Browser Tab Into an AI Control Panel
This post has a video example. **TLDR:** Console injection. Anything running in a browser can print a control menu to the console. Claude reads it. Now it knows what it can do, and controls the site without an API. So, no back-end needed. Super simple. Want the full picture? Keep reading. Want your LLM to build this for you? Copy/paste this whole post. --- **THE PROBLEM** You want your LLM to control something in your browser. Your options aren't great: 1. Claude-in-Chrome's built-in tools. It doesn't know what your site does or how to use it. It takes screenshots and guesses. Slow and token-heavy. 2. Build an API server. Now you're managing keys, hosting, and paying per call. **THE SOLUTION: CONSOLE INJECTION** There's a third option. Whatever you're building loads in the browser. On load, it prints a list of controls the AI can use. The LLM reads the console, sees the control list, and runs JavaScript to call those controls directly. It's just a simple JavaScript control list sitting in the console. You can even add a workflow so the AI has an idea of what it can do with those controls. This works for anything that runs in a browser. A SaaS tool, an internal dashboard, a local dev environment, a canvas editor, a data pipeline UI - if it renders in a browser tab, you can give an LLM a control panel for it. Here's what it looks like in one of my tools (hit F12 to see your own console): ``` [AI-ACCESSIBLE] This app can be controlled via JavaScript. * Sidekick.help() - Complete tools reference (returns JS object) * Sidekick.teach() - Full teaching guide, 14 sections logged to console * Sidekick.tool(name, input) - Execute any tool directly * Sidekick.batchAutomap(mappings) - Smart batch mapping (recommended) help() + teach() contain everything needed. No need to fetch external files. ``` The LLM sees that, and it's immediately trained. It can read state, click buttons, type things, batch operations - whatever you've exposed. **IT GETS BETTER**
The work before the first prompt that turned into a small personal app
I wanted to share a project that I had been working on before I found Jake's Community. I've been cleaning out a little bit at a time and, full disclosure, this is a concept that I learned from Nate B. Jones. I know there are a few here in the community who have mentioned him. Nate calls it Prompt Zero, and it pairs very well with Jake's Module and foundation course on how to structure any prompt. https://promptzero.8signal.com/ I built this small web app for personal use and to share with my team, but feel free to create an account for yourself if you'd like. I also included all the questions that you would go through within the app right on the home page so you can grab them and use them in a notepad, using voice memo, using a pen and paper, whichever you prefer. Any constructive (or positive) feedback is greatly appreciated :) Sidenote: one of the improvements that I made, after beginning to implement some of the things I'm learning from Jake, I created a tone and voice guide that reads the way I often speak and I re-ran the home page through that so it sounded like a slightly exaggerated version of me :D
Win! Getting the go ahead to rebuild our website
Wanted to share that today my boss came to me and asked seriously "Is this really possible?" and I was able to confidently say absolutely and we can make it whatever we want. Probably gonna be some discussions about what needs to go on the website but really happy that after last week's proof of concept website we're actually gonna move forward on our branding, nice end of the week
