Need to make a Slide Deck? Use This
Here is a skill I created that will audit a current slide deck or make a brand new one based on how I love to build them. Point it at work you want to present and watch the magic happen. RinDig/lecture-deck-skill: Build animated, themed HTML lecture and workshop decks from a storyboard. A Claude skill plus a Python kit with three themes.

Welcome to Clief Notes. Here's where to start.
Welcome to Clief Notes. Here’s where to start. 👋 You don’t need to watch the entire classroom before trying something. Pick a starting point, make something small, and bring your questions back here. 🧭 Find your way around Navigating the Course shows you what’s here and how to get around. If you’re new to working with AI, start with The Foundation. We work through prompting, context, and organizing your files so you can give an AI a job you can actually check. 🛠️ Never ran a coding agent or folder strcutre? Jump into Module 4 This is a good starting point if you want to work through a practical example. The short videos mix animation with actual app screenshots, and there’s a fictional practice folder you can follow along with. - 4.1: Install and First Use — Get oriented and try your first task. Grab the Foundation Practice download from Resources here. - 4.2: Working With Files — Turn meeting notes into a decision list, then check where each decision came from. - 4.3: Think, Then Build — Compare your options, choose an approach, and approve a short brief before asking for the finished work. - 4.4: Project Instructions — Leave useful instructions with your project so you have less to explain next time. - You’ll find guidance for Claude Code and Codex, plus a regular chat route where you save the files yourself. 💬 Use the check-ins At the bottom of the lessons, you’ll find polls and discussion posts. Share what you tried, what worked, and what needed correcting.

@Anton Edwards wait till you see the big update im about to push to foundations
Did you find something you completely forgot about? Alright, Archive people...
I want to hear from you. Did anything surprise you? - Something you had completely forgotten about? - A lesson that suddenly makes more sense now? - Something you originally ignored but realize is actually important? That's one of the reasons we built these roadmaps. With this much content inside Clief Notes, sometimes the thing you need isn't another lesson. It's going back to the right one at the right time. So today's check-in is easy: Comment with one thing The Archive made you rediscover. Bonus points if it's something you'd completely forgotten existed. Keep working through the quizzes and accountability posts too. We've got another unlock coming Friday.
You probably missed something in here. 🗃 At this point, there's a LOT inside Clief Notes.
And I can almost guarantee there are things you either: 1. Never saw 2. Saw but forgot about 3. Understood completely differently when you first watched them So this week, we're going back. The Archive roadmap is now open. 🗃 But don't mistake "Archive" for old stuff that doesn't matter anymore. The goal of this roadmap is to take you through material worth revisiting and make sure you actually understand what's there. And this one will require some participation. - You'll have lessons to complete. - Questions to answer. - Quizzes to pass. - And accountability posts where you'll need to explain what you've learned. If you get something wrong, don't just click until you get the right answer. Figure out WHY you got it wrong. - Go back to the lesson. - Ask the Clief Notes AI. - Find the gap. - Then move forward. That's how I want these roadmaps to work. Not more content. Better understanding of the content you already have. 🗃 The Archive is available now to Premium and VIP members. You can upgrade here: skool.com/cliefnotes/plans Premium and VIP also include live calls with me, unlimited AI conversations, roadmap quizzes, and the new Decster features we're rolling out. If you're already in... Open The Archive and see what you missed the first time.
🎬 The animation classroom has had a proper rebuild
Apparently “I’ll clean up a few lessons” turned into rebuilding a whole module 😂 The classroom is now called AI Animations & Workflows, and Module 1 has seven new videos, eight connected lessons, and a clearer route from your first idea to a finished animation. I made this because I want you to be able to build a workflow you can keep using. Take an idea, give it a home in a folder, and have your AI help write the script, make the voice, plan the visuals, build the scene and export the video. The AI can do a lot of that work. Understanding what each stage produces helps you ask for useful changes and check whether the result actually explains your idea, right? We follow one small example through the lessons, then you use the same process for something of your own. The videos also use a new style: more visual explanations, app views, moving diagrams and examples that connect directly to what’s being said. Start with 1.1: Welcome and Your Route Through This Module, then work through: - 1.2 How This Video Was Made — see the whole process before setting things up. - 1.3 Get the Workspace Ready with Your AI — choose your starting route and prepare your project. - 1.4 Ask for a Script, Then Make the Voice — turn the idea into a spoken explanation. - 1.5 Turn the Voice into a Visual Plan — decide what someone should see as they listen. - 1.6 Let AI Build the Scene — build the pictures and review whether they help. - 1.7 Fix What You See, Then Export — make a specific correction and check the finished video. - 1.8 Make the Next Video with Your Own Idea — carry the useful tools and instructions into your own project. -

@Stephan Vollmer Thank you for noticing. Yeah, I've been slowly updating foundations and a lot of other things and I'm going to finish cleaning up a few more. I think there's some reorganizing that I need to do to really make this even better process. Couple more videos in the pipeline that I'm finishing up right now as well!
