Life Admin & HomeDone with Claude Code Oct 4, 2026
Add travel bookings from email to calendar
The author runs Claude Code from a fixed folder with saved scripts to process new travel booking emails into their calendar.
- What They Did
- The author keeps a numbered Johnny.Decimal folder tree, with one folder holding saved scripts and documentation for adding travel bookings to their calendar. They jump to it with a small command, `jd tripsy`, launch `claude` there, and tell it a new email has arrived. Earlier conversations can be picked up with `/resume`.
- How It Went
- The source says the process works with that single prompt and calls it done, but it gives no numbers, error rates, or details of what the scripts do.
- Worth Knowing
- The trick is a static, well-named folder per task, where Claude Code finds its saved scripts and docs each time, rather than any special tooling.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Open this folder: [path to your travel folder]. Search my email for new travel booking confirmations from [date range] (flights, hotels, rentals) and add each one to my calendar with the dates, times, confirmation number and address. Save the steps as a reusable script so I can rerun it later, and show me the list of events you plan to add before creating any of them.
