+1 other place →A note to Arnaud — me — is what opens a skill on this Atlas, and it is how you join the Circle: the people who have told me which craft they want to learn. Not a form, not a team inbox: it lands in mine, and I read every one myself. Tell me which craft you're circling, how you'd want to learn it, and who you'd want to be in it a year from now. That last one is the one I care about most: how will you actually use this in your future?
Your note is the joining — there is nothing else to fill in. What the Circle asks for decides which craft I open on the Atlas next, and which week I build. No week has been built that way yet. It hears first.
