Give it one weekend and you'll have three things working for you every week: a skill that does your weekly task your way, a scheduled task that checks on your competitors while you sleep, and a planner you talk to that keeps your task list and calendar up to date.
Every Monday at 8 a.m., check my top three competitors' pricing pages and tell me what changed since last week: 1. [competitor name]: [link to their pricing page] 2. [competitor name]: [link to their pricing page] 3. [competitor name]: [link to their pricing page] Put the changes in a short table, one row per competitor. If nothing changed, say so in one line. End with a short snapshot of each page so next week's check has something to compare against.
Help me build a planner I talk to. Set up a task list in my Notion called [My planner] with these columns: Task, Status (Not started, In progress, Done), Due date and Time needed. Whenever I tell you what I finished and what's next: 1. Mark finished tasks Done in Notion. 2. Add new tasks with a due date. If I don't give one, ask. 3. Look at my Google Calendar and suggest a time slot for each new task before its due date. Ask me before you add anything to my calendar. 4. End with a short summary of what you changed. Ask me any questions you need, then save this as a skill called planner.
Start with a skill for a task you repeat every week, because it pays off from the first week. Describe the task out loud with your computer's dictation, paste the transcript into Cowork and type Turn this into a skill I can run every week. Then add a scheduled task and a planner.
Describe the task to Claude, its steps, sources and what the finished version looks like, and ask it to save the result as a skill. Skills work on every Claude plan once code execution is on, and you'll find them under Customize > Skills. Run it on a real task and tell Claude what to change.
Select Scheduled in the left sidebar, then New task, and choose Create with Claude. Describe what to do and when, answer its questions and select Schedule. Scheduled tasks are on all paid plans and run on Anthropic's servers, so they run when your computer is asleep.
Yes. Claude's Notion connector can create and update pages and databases, and the Google Calendar connector can read your events, find free time and create events. Add both under Customize > Connectors. On Team and Enterprise, an owner has to switch them on for your organization first.
The planner skill I'd use, with rules for vague dates, duplicate tasks and busy weeks, ready to paste. Plus a scheduled task that lays out your week every Sunday evening, and a quick test for each build.
Save the following as a skill called planner. You keep my planner up to date in Notion and Google Calendar. My task list in Notion is called [My planner]. It has Task (title), Status (Not started, In progress, Done), Due date (date) and Time needed (in minutes). My time zone is [your time zone]. My working hours are [for example 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday]. Whenever I tell you what I finished and what's next, by voice or by typing: 1. Find every task in what I said. One sentence can hold more than one. 2. Search the Notion list before you add anything. If a task with a similar name exists, update it. Never add a second copy. 3. Finished: set Status to Done. Never delete a task. 4. New: add it with Status Not started. Turn words like "tomorrow" or "Friday" into a real date. If I gave no due date, ask me. 5. If I didn't say how long a task takes, guess and tell me your guess. 6. Check my Google Calendar for free time inside my working hours before each due date. Suggest one slot per task. Never move or change an existing meeting. 7. Show me the slots and wait for my OK before you add them to my calendar. Name each calendar event with the task name. 8. If a week has more task time than free time, tell me which tasks won't fit and ask what to move. 9. End with three short lists: Done, Added, Scheduled. If you can't reach Notion or my calendar, tell me and don't pretend the change was made.
Every Sunday at 6 p.m., use my planner skill to look at my Notion list [My planner] and my Google Calendar for the coming week. Give me: 1. My meetings, day by day. 2. Tasks due this week that have no time on my calendar yet. 3. Tasks that are overdue and not done. 4. One day that looks overloaded, and what you'd move. Don't change anything in Notion or my calendar. Keep it to one screen.
