Done withClaude Code
- What they did
- The Reddit post says the user had Claude Code handle routine non-coding work like tracking outreach lists, cleaning up messy spreadsheets, and drafting first-pass copy. The concrete habit they kept was asking it to maintain a running task list so they did not have to remember what was still pending.
- How it went
- They say this ended up being a lot of the value they got after a few weeks of use, especially for boring admin work. The thread gives no metrics, examples of a finished workflow, or limits beyond it being a first pass.
- Worth knowing
- The source offers no cost or time figures; the main catch is that the description stays high-level and does not explain the exact prompts or file setup used for this workflow.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Open [spreadsheet file] and clean it: fix messy formatting, merge duplicates, and standardize [columns]. Save the result as a new file without overwriting the original. Add columns to track outreach status, last contact date, and next step, and write a first-draft message for each person based on [my goal and tone]. Don't send or delete anything. Give me a summary of the changes and any rows you weren't sure about.
