What you'll learn

Raw-Clauding, a method for compound thinking with AI

3 C's give you a framework: Curiosity, Collaboration, Context

Stay close to your thinking in markdown

Local files that you and AI can edit directly; all your ideas within reach, no more cold starts

How you show up shapes what shows up

Assume tool, get tool behavior; assume intelligence, get thinking partnership

Start practicing today

Leave with free skills, a framework, and a flywheel you can run yourself

Why this topic matters

Everything we do starts as an idea, so stay close to yours by thinking *with* AI instead of outsourcing to it. Follow what's interesting, think together, keep what matters in files you own. If you can write a note, you can do this.

producer/non-technical raw-clauder

My special interest is thinking about thinking. I produce music and tv/film at snackermans productions. Now I'm building raw-clauding, a method for compound thinking with AI. I consider myself more of a human being than a human doing, and I think there will be a lot more of us who define ourselves by our ideas instead of our roles.

I used to work at Maven and have taken 100+ Lightning Lessons and three courses as a student. I spent the last year building AI-first content systems for clients including other Maven instructors. Before Maven I was a celebrity assistant and before that I was a nanny. All of this shapes how I think with AI.
