Name the problem
Before a demo, a thread, or a tool.
- Write one sentence: what is stuck.
- Name who feels it.
- If you cannot name it, you are not ready to climb.
Done whenA stranger can read the sentence and know what failed.
Recipes for the climb
Climb Notes™ are the crossover — the same four moves for a shop owner and an engineer. These eight recipes are that lingua franca: not a demo, not a thread, not a translation after the fact.
Read them in order the first time. After that, open the one you are on. Gnomah holds the studio. Published climbs land on the journal.
Field
Set the measure
You have a problem and no way to know if it moved.
- Pick one number or one observable change.
- Write the before state.
- Write what “moved” looks like in one line.
Done whenYou can fail the climb in public. No vibe checks.
Take the next pitch
The work is a raft of tools and no path.
- Take the next safe pitch that can change the measure.
- Leave the rest on the ground.
- If the pitch needs a committee, it is too big.
Done whenOne person can finish it in one sitting.
Write the Climb Note
The four moves exist. They are not yet one trail.
- Problem. Measure. Pitch. Lesson — in that order.
- Short sentences. One idea each.
- Strike any line that repeats the problem as a description.
Done whenSomeone else can run the same climb without you.
Use Grok Build on the pitch
The pitch is software, a site, or a working artifact.
- Give Build the problem and the measure first.
- Ask for one vertical that can fail safely.
- Do not start with a demo. Start with the note.
Done whenThere is a running thing you can measure, not a slide.
Use Imagine when you must see it
Words are not enough to judge the pitch.
- Describe the thing, not the mood.
- Generate once. Edit the part that is wrong.
- Keep the image next to the measure, not instead of it.
Done whenA person can point at the picture and the measure together.
Use Voice when your hands are on the work
Typing would stop the climb.
- Say the problem out loud.
- Ask Luna for the next step, not a speech.
- Write the lesson after you hang up.
Done whenThe climb moved. The note is updated.
Log the lesson. Publish only then.
The pitch ran. You know what moved.
- Write what stuck and what changed.
- Approve, then publish. Drafts stay in the studio.
- X is a short cite. The long form stays on this site.
Done whenThe trail is public and the next climber can follow it.
