Work & OperationsDone with Claude Code
Run an overnight chief of staff for email and calendar
A Claude Code system triages email at 5:30 AM, preps the calendar, updates tasks, adds drive-time events from traffic data and time-blocks the day.
- What They Did
- The author runs Claude Code with MCP servers for Google Calendar, Gmail, Todoist and Google Maps (Directions API) for drive times. Scheduled tasks run email triage at 5:30 AM and calendar prep at 5:45 AM. In the morning, one command starts six parallel subagents, and a time-block workflow builds the day's schedule. Emails are sorted into Dispatch, Prep, Yours or Skip so the human stays in control.
- How It Went
- The author says the task list and calendar, including traffic-based drive-time events, are current by 6:15 AM. The source gives no measured results beyond that. Most of the guide is paywalled.
- Worth Knowing
- The author puts the cost at about $100/month and suggests planning a weekend to build it. The full agent and command files are behind a paywall.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Build me an overnight chief-of-staff routine that runs at [time, e.g. 5:30 AM] each weekday. It should triage my email into [categories], prep my calendar for the day, update my task list at [path or app], add drive-time events using traffic from [home or work address], and propose a time-blocked schedule. Have it write a morning summary I can read in two minutes. It should never send emails or accept invitations without my approval, only draft them. Stop when a test run produces a full summary.
