Done withClaude Code
- What they did
- The thread describes several lightweight Claude Code setups rather than one formal workflow. People use it directly on local markdown files and work context to rewrite rough notes into docs or SOPs, debug forgotten shell scripts, draft emails, summarize Slack threads, generate regex, and in one case run a scheduled script that pulls Jira tickets, GitHub PRs, and selected Slack messages into a daily priorities summary.
- How it went
- Commenters say it handles broad day-to-day writing and coordination tasks well, from customer-facing documentation to email drafting and team-update summaries. The thread gives almost no hard performance numbers, so the evidence is practical anecdotes rather than measured results.
- Worth knowing
- One concrete catch: a commenter said the $20/month Pro plan was enough for an Obsidian workflow, though needs may depend on vault size.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Help me with these work tasks from this folder: [describe tasks, e.g., update the docs for X, debug this shell script, summarize this thread in file Y]. For anything that would send an email, post to Slack, or change a task in [tracker name], write the draft or change and show it to me first, and only go ahead once I approve. When you're finished, give me a short list of what you changed or produced.
