Community / Phase one

Build the practice
before the forum.

Newsletter replies, public examples, critique sessions, and office-hour interest first—before choosing a heavy dedicated platform.

How it begins

A useful community starts with useful exchanges.

The first phase keeps the feedback loop close to the material: questions, examples, critique requests, and public learning artifacts.

Invite readers to send workflow questions, examples, and critique requests.

Publish selected artifacts and teardown notes as learning material.

Collect interest for office hours or critique rooms before opening a forum.

Social distribution

These channels exist to compound the weekly teardown ritual — not to replace the newsletter. Discord waits until the ritual is habit.

Weekly ritual

Tuesday Agentic Design Teardown (YouTube + LinkedIn + X thread)

About 4 LinkedIn posts per week around that teardown.

Founder updates, teardowns, and campus/team signals.

School source, issues, and release history.

Living book repo — star if you teach or build with agents.

Weekly field notes — owned audience.

Critique and office hours

The newsletter is also the first waitlist for critique sessions, office hours, and new community experiments.

Teams and campuses

Critique rooms work better with a shared curriculum. Teams and campuses can start from a packaged path.
