Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it. Simple, scannable, gives you data on who's joining and what they need, and keeps the feed clear for content that retains people past week one.

Last post I told you I externalized the persona. Vector store for the knowledge. Redis for the session memory. The system prompt shrank to the essentials. That was step one. Step two was realizing the persona isn't the only thing that doesn't belong in the prompt. ## The session ## Paul, a client-friend, came in with a real demand. An ecotourism business in the mountains of Espírito Santo. Real briefings, real region knowledge, real brand voice, real stages — from a demand landing in WhatsApp to the Instagram post going up after the trip. We sat down together. Five hours. By the end, the system was mapped, built, and tested. What we built isn't an "AI app." It's a workspace. ecoa-experiencias/ ├── CLAUDE.md ← operating manual for the agent ├── CONTEXT.md ← task router ├── brand-vault/ ← identity + voice rules ├── knowledge-base/ ← regions, partners, biodiversity (grows over time) ├── shared/ ← seasonal calendar, languages, qualification criteria └── stages/ ├── 01-triagem/ ├── 02-planejamento/ ├── 03-proposta/ ├── 04-execucao/ ├── 05-avaliacao/ └── 06-publicacao/ Each stage knows what to load and what not to load. Triage doesn't load brand voice. Publication doesn't load qualification criteria. The agent only sees what matters for the task it's on. Public repo: github.com/marcosaccioly/ecoa-experiencias ## What I can't unsee ## This week I started a different project — a chapter for a 20-year commemorative book at the federal education center I work with. Different domain. Different audience. Different stakes. And I caught myself building the same shape before writing a single sentence. CLAUDE.md at the root. Sections as folders. A skill for voice. Slash commands for the moves I knew I'd repeat. A contexto/ folder of source material the agent isn't allowed to invent past. It wasn't deliberate. It was muscle memory. ## The shift ## A system prompt is a static identity. A workspace is a working environment.
