I'm building a 48-second Christmas ad. Not in an app: the whole thing is an ICM folder, Claude Code reads it, and Higgsfield is just the tool on the end of the pipe that renders what the folder asks for. The ad ends on the house a girl wished for, and late in the build I changed that house: out with the generated storybook cottage, in with a real home we actually build. A late change to a foundational element usually means a rebuild. This one didn't, and three ICM principles are why. christmas-wish-short-ad/ ├── CLAUDE.md routing only, no content ├── CONTEXT.md the pipeline + status on one screen ├── _shared/ │ └── inherited.md pointers into the reference workspace. Nothing copied. ├── _templates/ └── stages/ ├── 01_brief/ script + which existing asset each beat reuses ├── 02_shotplan/ every shot bound to a specific still ├── 03_boards/ the house-swap candidates, grades, and decision ├── 04_scenes/ generate the gaps, then the motion pass └── 05_assembly/ edit, composite, watermark, submit Configure the factory, not the product. The reference material lives in its own workspace. The ad is one product coming off it, not a copy of it. One home per fact. The house is a single row in a single element registry. Every shot points at that row. Nothing holds a second copy that can drift. Every output is an edit surface. The candidates, the grades, and the decision itself are plain files sitting in an output folder. Anyone can open it and see where the build stands. The swap still cost me three shots to regenerate. The win isn't that changes are free. It's that I could price the change in about a minute, before committing, because the structure already knew which shots depend on the house. That's the part worth stealing. The generator is swappable. The structure is the thing you own. Let me know if there are any improvements...

After a call with @Danney Tee who kindly demo'd his full system at Reelix and gave me inspiration for what he had done. I decided to have a bit of fun and create my own mechanism, scoping in on one of the areas, which is AI being able to watch and analyze videos.... So I built codename "Argus" -- Still in development but showing some insanely promising results! Argus is the layer that watches a published video and writes down what was on screen, second by second. It is also the cleanest ICM structure I have built, for a boring reason: a pipeline already has stages, so you let the folders be them. - The stages - 01 to 08 in flow order. Each is a folder holding its own script, its own CONTEXT.md of local rules, and its own output. - The root context - only the rules that genuinely cross every stage. What a frame is, how a missing value is recorded, what the system never claims. - _config - the channel. Vocabularies, the editorial ladder, the thresholds. The stages hold the engine, the config holds the channel. The flow reads straight off the folder names. Stages 01 to 05 describe: fetch the video, cut it into frames, measure the frames, ask a model what is happening in each second, roll it up into buckets. Stage 06 synchronises, mapping the editorial plan for that video onto what was described. Stages 07 and 08 derive, joining to the retention curve and rendering the written product, and they are not allowed to add any new observation - only to compute from what came before. The ICM part is that a job sent to stage 03 opens stage 03. It reads that folder's rules and its inputs, and inherits nothing else except the handful of root rules that actually apply everywhere. No stage carries the whole pipeline in its head. That is the difference between a pipeline in folders and one long instruction file trying to describe eight things at once, and it is why I can hand a stage to a job without re-explaining the system around it.

It’s live. Starting today, everyone in Clief Notes has access to the new Clief Notes AI. The easiest way to use it? Don’t overthink it. Ask it the question you would normally ask me. “Where should I start?” “What should I focus on next?” “Where did you talk about [topic]?” It’ll use what’s already inside Clief Notes to help answer you and point you toward the right lesson or resource when there’s something worth going deeper on. The goal isn’t to give you another AI tool to play with. It’s to make everything already inside this community easier to actually use. If you want Access to it Comment "READY" and we'll send you access to it!

I played around with team voice assistant over the weekend. It's not perfect but the idea is that any time i'm not around, people can pop in a voice chat with agent and ask any questions regarding to our projects, community, onboarding, assist with meeting like one of our member. I'm also equipping him with the ability to draw visual with remotion/hyperframe, take message when im not around, take meeting notes/feedbacks and a management page to control what context + skill + asset he has permission to use. Just curious, if anyone has also been working on something like this ?

Hey y'all, not a sympathy post. This isn't me saying I'm taking time off for anything. In fact it's the opposite. My grandma passed away last week and I was cleaning out her apartment with my mother and talking to my aunt (both of them it was their mother). I can tell they're struggling. It's why I work so hard honestly on the software community on everything else. Almost none of the money goes to me. I give it to my family, my wife my friends. It's what makes me happy. I'm building a company specifically so my family doesn't have to struggle. Been helping out where I can but obviously been focusing a lot on the business. My uncle also has cancer and so my aunt has been taking care of him and also at the same time dealing with a death of her mother . Best way I can contribute has been through cash and some love here are there. With that though means I don't always have the time to do what I need to do. So honestly, I'm asking for your help if you're willing to donate to my aunt's GoFundMe on top of the help that I'm giving. I've just donated a bit and would love other people to help out. To me, if I work hard I can make sure that my whole family is taken care of. But in the small ways I can help where I can I will do my best too And that goes with asking for help from others. So if you all could help me out help them out. That would be amazing https://gofund.me/45b6655ba
