Most people use Claude as a smarter Google. Question, answer, close the tab. That is roughly like owning a smartphone and only ever making calls. The real value starts the moment Claude stops answering your questions and starts running a piece of your life.
I have one dashboard that holds my sleep, my recovery, my calendar, today's plans, my Instagram numbers, the weather and my sales, all in a single window. I built it with Claude in about fifteen minutes and I have opened it every morning for weeks. That is one of the 100 below.
What follows is 100 concrete ways, split across ten areas of life. Under each one there is a ready prompt. Copy it, replace what is inside the square brackets with your own details, paste it into Claude. No theory, no explanation of how AI works.
One piece of advice: do not try all of them. Pick the three that annoy you most this week and start there.
The six forms Claude works in
Under every idea you will see which form it takes. There are six forms, and the difference matters: the same idea is a one time thing in a chat and a permanent system as a skill.
A one time conversation
You open it, paste the prompt, get the result. Nothing is kept for next time. Best for the job you do once a month.
A space that remembers you
A separate space with its own files and its own instructions. Every new conversation inside it already knows your context, so you never explain yourself from zero again.
A system that switches itself on
A written set of instructions Claude picks up on its own whenever the task matches. This is what turns a repeated job into a permanent system.
A small app built for you
A working dashboard or tool Claude builds for you directly. You open it, use it, update it. You do not need to know how to code.
A line to your real data
A link to an outside service: Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive. Claude reads your actual data instead of what you retyped by hand.
It runs on its own
It fires at a set time without you touching anything. You press nothing, the answer arrives every morning or every Sunday.
Money
Money gives the fastest visible result, which is why the list starts here. The problem is rarely income, the problem is visibility: you do not know where it leaks. This part pulls your real numbers out of statements and receipts and shows the picture without flattering it.
1Every recurring charge hiding in your inbox
Connector
Claude reads six months of receipts and renewal notices in your Gmail and builds one table of every recurring charge with the amount, the cycle and the yearly total. Each line is sorted into keep, review or cancel, so you see the subscriptions you forgot you were paying for.
Using my connected Gmail, search the last six months for receipts, invoices and renewal notices, and include these providers I already know about: [names]. Build one table of every recurring charge: service, amount in [currency], billing cycle, yearly cost, date of the last charge, and a verdict column with keep, review or cancel. Sort by yearly cost, highest first. Under the table, total the yearly spend, then name the three cancellations that would save the most. Tell me which services you could not confirm from email alone so I can check those manually.2Your bank CSV turned into sixteen categories
Chat
You paste or upload a bank export and Claude sorts every line into sixteen categories, then ranks your vendors by total spend so the pattern is visible in one screen. It ends by naming the single category worth attacking this month and what that would save you.
Here is my bank export: [attach CSV]. Categorise every transaction into no more than sixteen categories, using my own labels where I give them: [any categories you already use]. Return three things: a category table with total, share of spend and number of transactions, a top fifteen vendor list by amount, and a short paragraph on what changed compared to the earlier months in the file. Then pick one category to attack this month with a realistic target. Flag any transaction you could not classify confidently.3A cash flow calendar showing your tightest day
Artifact
Claude builds a month calendar with your paydays and every bill on the day it leaves, and a running balance under each date. You can see the exact day you will be tightest, before it happens, and move one payment to fix it.
Build a cash flow calendar for [month] as a single HTML artifact. My income: [amounts and dates]. My fixed bills: [name, amount, day of month]. Variable spending I expect: [items]. Starting balance: [amount]. Show a month grid where each day carries the money in, the money out and the running balance, with any day below [threshold] highlighted. Underneath, name the tightest day and suggest one payment to move, with the new balance if I move it. Show the running balance calculation.4Net worth tracker with monthly snapshots
Artifact
Claude gives you a page where you enter what you own and what you owe once a month, and it keeps every snapshot, shows the split by category and the change since last month. Over a year the line matters more than any single number, and this is what makes you keep entering it.
Make me a net worth tracker as one HTML artifact I can save and reopen. Categories for assets: [cash, savings, investments, property, other]. Categories for debts: [loans, cards, other]. Let me add a dated snapshot each month, keep all previous snapshots, and show three things: current net worth, a breakdown by category with percentages, and the change from the previous month in both money and percent. Currency is [currency]. Keep the data in the file itself and tell me plainly how to back it up.5Weekly money pulse with one decision to make
Skill
Once a week Claude gives you the same four blocks: what you spent by category, the bills landing in the next fourteen days, whether your savings pace is on track, and exactly one decision to make. One decision instead of a list is the reason you will actually act on it.
Build a Skill called weekly money pulse. Each time I run it I will give you [this week's transactions] and it already knows [my fixed bills with dates], [my savings target and deadline]. Output the same four blocks every time: spend by category against last week, bills due in the next fourteen days with dates, savings pace as ahead or behind with the number, and exactly one decision for me to make this week. Keep it under one screen and never give me more than one decision.6Simulate a year of owning it before you buy
Chat
You describe the thing you want to buy and Claude walks through twelve months of actually owning it, month by month, including the costs that arrive after the purchase. It ends with the specific way you would regret it, which is more useful than a pros and cons list.
I am thinking about buying [item] for [price]. My reason: [why I want it]. My situation: [income, space, how I live]. Run a pre mortem: assume it is twelve months later and I regret this purchase. Write the month by month story of how that happened, including running costs, maintenance, and the moment I stopped using it. Then give me the three conditions under which this purchase is actually right for me. Be specific to my situation, no generic advice about wants versus needs.7A word for word script to get your bill lowered
Chat
Claude writes the actual call, your opening line, the number you name, what to say when they refuse, and the sentence that moves you to the retention team. It includes the competitor offers you can cite, so you are not arguing from feeling but from a price they have to answer.
Write me a phone script to lower this bill. Provider: [name]. Service: [what I pay for]. Current price: [amount] and I have been a customer for [time]. Competitor prices I know of: [any]. Write it as a dialogue with my exact lines, then their three most likely responses and my reply to each. Include the sentence to use when they say no, and the line that gets me to the retention or cancellation team. Keep it polite and short. Tell me which claims I must verify before I call.8Avalanche versus snowball on your real balances
Chat
You give Claude every balance, rate and minimum payment, and it runs both payoff methods side by side with the month you finish and the total interest for each. Seeing the two debt free dates next to each other makes the choice obvious instead of theoretical.
Here are my debts: [name, balance, interest rate, minimum payment] for each. I can put [amount] per month toward debt in total. Compare avalanche and snowball. For each method give me a table by month showing which debt gets the extra payment, remaining balances, and the month each debt clears. Then compare the two on total interest paid and final debt free month. Show the interest calculation for the first three months so I can check it. Say plainly which one you would choose for me and why.9The month to buy it and the price to aim for
Chat
Claude tells you the season when that category actually drops in price, the target number to hold out for, and the one negotiation angle that works for this type of purchase. You stop buying at the wrong time of year, which is where most of the money goes.
I want to buy [item or category], roughly [budget], in [country or city]. Tell me the time of year prices for this category typically fall and why, the target price I should hold out for, and how far from list price that is. Give me the three negotiation angles that work for this specific category, ranked, with the sentence to use for each. Then tell me the signals that mean I should buy now instead of waiting. Mark clearly where your pricing knowledge may be out of date.10Monthly money review that arrives on the first
Scheduled task
On the first of each month Claude sends you a review of what changed in your money, what is worth worrying about, and three moves: one small, one medium, one large. It arrives without you remembering to ask, which is the only reason a monthly review ever happens.
Set this to run on the first of every month. Act as my monthly money reviewer. Each run, ask me for last month's numbers: [income, spend by category, savings, debt balances]. Then produce four sections: what changed versus the month before with numbers, the one thing worth worrying about, three moves labelled small, medium and large with the effort and the effect of each, and one question to answer before next month. Keep it to one page. No generic budgeting advice.Your day and your attention
Every day starts with the same lost ten minutes. You open the calendar, the inbox, the notes app, and try to assemble a picture of the day in your head. These ten ideas take that ten minutes off you.
11Your whole life in one window
Artifact
Claude builds you a single page that shows last night's sleep and recovery, today's calendar, the weather, the one thing you decided to focus on, and the money that came in this week. Everything you check across five apps every morning sits in one place you can open in three seconds.
You are my personal dashboard designer. Build me a single page HTML dashboard for my life. I will give you: [my sleep and recovery numbers for the last 7 days], [my calendar for today], [my city], [my one focus for today], [money that came in this week]. Output one artifact with five clear cards, large numbers, and under each card one plain sentence telling me what it means for today. Before you build it, ask me what I actually check first in the morning.12The 7am brief that starts your day
Scheduled task
Every morning at 7 Claude sends you today's schedule, the messages that are still waiting for your reply, and the single task it thinks you should open first. You wake up to a decision already made, instead of spending twenty minutes reading your calendar and inbox to find it.
Set this up as a scheduled task that runs every weekday at 7:00 in [my timezone]. Each morning read my calendar and my inbox and write me a brief in three parts: my schedule with the two events that need preparation marked, the messages waiting on a reply from me ranked by who is blocked, and one task to start with plus its first physical step. Keep it under 200 words. If my day looks unusually heavy, say so and tell me what to move.13The 60 minute Sunday reset
Project
Claude runs you through six timed blocks in one hour: last week's honest review, calendar cleanup, money check, meals and groceries, one house task, and next week's three priorities. It keeps the time and asks the questions, so you finish Sunday with a week that is already decided instead of a vague list.
You are running my Sunday reset. Take me through six blocks of ten minutes each: review of last week, calendar cleanup, money check, food plan, one home task, and three priorities for next week. Ask me the questions for one block at a time, wait for my answer, then summarise that block in three lines before moving on. My context: [my job], [who lives with me], [what fell apart last week]. At the end, output the whole week as a checklist I can paste into my notes.14Energy map of your week
Chat
You describe last week hour by hour and Claude marks which blocks gave you energy, which drained you, and which were neutral, then names the three calendar changes that would help most. It works because it looks at patterns across the whole week, not at the one meeting you remember badly.
Act as my energy analyst. I will paste last week from my calendar plus a note on how I felt after each block: [my week]. Score every block from minus two to plus two for energy, then give me a table with block, score, and the likely reason. After the table, name the three specific changes I should make to next week's calendar, each with the exact day and time. Do not give general advice about rest. If two blocks look the same but scored differently, tell me and ask why.15Brain dump into your real top three
Chat
You type everything in your head for five minutes with no order and no filter, and Claude sorts it into four piles: projects, single actions, decisions waiting on you, and noise you can drop. Then it picks the three things that actually matter this week and explains why the rest can wait.
You are my thinking partner for a brain dump. I am going to write everything on my mind in one messy block: [my dump]. Sort every line into one of four columns: project, next action, decision I owe someone, or noise to delete. Give me the table, then pick the three items that matter most this week and say in one line each why. Finish with the single thing I am avoiding. If something is too vague to sort, ask me one question about it instead of guessing.16Coach for the task you keep avoiding
Skill
You name the thing you have been putting off for weeks and Claude gives you one physical step at a time, small enough that refusing feels silly, waiting for you to say done before the next one. It never shows you the whole task, because the size of it is what stops you.
Build me a Claude skill called task starter. When I name a task I have been avoiding, it asks three quick questions: what the task is, where it physically happens, and what I would touch first. Then it gives me exactly one action that takes under two minutes and waits for me to say done before giving the next. It never lists more than one step and never talks about motivation. My context: [the kind of tasks I avoid] and [what I usually do instead]. Save it as a skill I can call by name. Ask me anything you need before writing it.17Habit tracker with real streaks
Artifact
Claude builds a tracker where you tick off habits and immediately see your current streak, your best streak ever, a thirty day heatmap, and the completion rate for each habit this week. The best streak column is the point: after you break a chain you still have proof that you did it once.
Build me a habit tracker as a single artifact. My habits: [list them]. For each habit show a checkbox for today, the current streak, the best streak I have ever had, and a thirty day heatmap of squares. Under the grid show my completion rate for the week per habit. Keep the state inside the artifact so my ticks survive when I reopen it, and tell me plainly if that is not possible. Use one accent colour and nothing else. Ask me how many habits before you design the layout.18Goal dashboard that catches a slipping goal
Artifact
Claude builds a dashboard with your goals, the weekly number each one needs, and a status light per goal, plus a detector that turns a goal red the moment you miss it two weeks running. Most goal lists die quietly, this one tells you the week the drift started.
Build me a goal dashboard as one artifact. My goals with their weekly target: [goal and number for each]. For every goal show the target, what I logged each week, the percentage done, and a status light. Add a rule that marks a goal as slipping when I miss the weekly target two weeks in a row, and put those goals at the top with the week the slide began. Include a field where I paste this week's numbers. Show the formula you use for the percentage.19Where your year actually went
Connector
With your Google Calendar connected, Claude reads twelve months of events and gives you hours by category: work, commute, family, sport, admin, and the meetings that repeated forever. You get numbers instead of a feeling, and usually one category turns out to be twice the size you thought.
Use my connected Google Calendar. Read every event from [start date] to [end date] and sort them into these categories: [my categories]. Give me a table of total hours and percentage per category, then the same table split by quarter so I can see what changed. List the five recurring meetings that took the most hours in the year. Finish with the three hours per week I could get back and where exactly. If an event title is unclear, put it in a separate row and ask me.20Focus guard for when you try to bail
Skill
You tell Claude what you committed to for the next ninety minutes, and when you come back with a new idea it runs three questions: is it urgent today, will it exist tomorrow, are you escaping the first task. If the answer is no, the idea goes to a parking list and you return.
Create a skill called focus guard. At the start of a session I tell it: [the task] and [how long I committed to it]. If I come back with anything other than that task, it asks me three questions in order: does this have to happen today, will it still be there tomorrow, and am I avoiding the task I chose. Unless all three point to a real emergency, it adds the new thing to a parking list and tells me to go back. At the end it shows the parking list.Health, training and sleep
Your watch already collects everything about you. The problem is that nobody reads those numbers. This part turns them into decisions: what to train today, when to sleep, what to ask your doctor.
21Today's workout built from last night's sleep
Skill
You give Claude your sleep hours, resting heart rate, HRV and today's calendar, and it returns one workout sized for the body you actually have this morning, with the exact sets and the time it takes. On a bad night it cuts the volume instead of telling you to push through.
Create a skill that writes my workout for today. Every time I run it I give: [hours slept], [resting heart rate], [HRV], [soreness out of ten], [minutes free today], [equipment I have]. It returns one session with exercises, sets, reps and rest, plus the total minutes, and one line explaining what it changed because of my numbers. My training goal is [goal]. If my recovery numbers are clearly bad, it must reduce the load and say so rather than motivate me.22Live workout tracker that beats last week
Artifact
Claude builds a page where each exercise shows what you lifted last week next to empty boxes for today, and after you enter a set it calculates the next weight and reps for you. You stop doing arithmetic between sets, and you never guess whether you are actually progressing.
Build a workout tracker artifact for today's session. Today's exercises: [list]. Last week's numbers: [weight, reps and sets per exercise]. For each exercise show last week's numbers in grey, input boxes for today, and a suggested next set that adds a small amount when I hit the target reps and holds when I miss. Show total volume for today against last week at the bottom. Show the progression rule you used in one line so I can check it.23Any gym from one photo
Chat
You photograph the equipment in an unfamiliar hotel gym, Claude reads what is there, and it rewrites your normal session using only those machines, keeping the same muscle groups and effort. Instead of skipping the day, you get a substitution table showing which exercise replaced which.
I am in a gym I do not know. Here are photos of everything in the room: [attach photos]. My normal session for today is: [exercises, sets, reps, weights]. First list what equipment you can actually see in the photos, then rebuild my session with only that, keeping the same muscle groups and roughly the same effort. Give me a table with three columns: original exercise, substitute, why. If you cannot identify a machine, say so instead of assuming, and give me a bodyweight fallback.24Meal log from photos with macros left as food
Artifact
You photograph what you eat, Claude estimates the protein, carbs and fat, and the tracker shows what is left for the day translated into real food: two eggs and a yoghurt, not forty one grams of protein. Numbers you can act on beat numbers you have to interpret.
Build me a nutrition tracker artifact. My daily targets: [calories, protein, carbs, fat]. I will paste photos of my meals through the day: [photos]. For each photo estimate the portion and the macros, add it to a running total, and show the remaining macros both as numbers and as two or three real foods that would fill the gap, using foods I actually eat: [foods I like]. Show a confidence level for every photo estimate and ask me the weight when a photo is genuinely ambiguous.25Your health history in one growing record
Skill
Claude keeps one file with your medications, allergies, diagnoses, lab results by date and the symptoms you log day to day, and it updates that file every time you add something new. When a doctor asks what changed since March, you have the answer instead of trying to remember.
Create a skill that keeps my personal health record in one file. Sections: medications with dose and start date, allergies, diagnoses, lab results by date, procedures, and a dated symptom log. When I paste anything, a lab PDF, a doctor's note, or a sentence about how I feel, it files the item in the right section, dates it, and tells me in one line what it added. It must never delete an old entry, only add. Start from what I give now: [my medications], [my allergies], [my diagnoses]. Ask me for anything missing before you write the file.26One page for your doctor, under 400 words
Skill
Before an appointment Claude turns everything since your last visit into one page: what changed, current medications, new symptoms with dates, and your questions ranked by what only this doctor can answer. Fifteen minute appointments go badly when you improvise, and this makes you the organised patient.
Create a skill that prepares me for a medical appointment. Input: [type of doctor], [date of my last visit], [what has happened since], [my current medications], [my questions]. Output one page under 400 words with four blocks: what changed since the last visit in date order, current medications and doses, symptoms with when they started and how often, and my questions ranked so the ones only this doctor can answer come first. Plain language, no diagnosis. Flag anything I wrote that a doctor would need more detail on.27Lab results next to your own history
Chat
You paste your latest blood work with your previous rounds, and Claude gives you a marker by marker table with the direction of travel, the reference range, and a plain sentence about what moved. A value inside the range that has moved a lot in a year matters more than one number in isolation.
Here are my blood test results from [dates], newest first: [paste or attach them]. Build a table with one row per marker: the value each time, the reference range, the direction across draws, and one plain sentence on what the movement suggests. Then list only the markers worth raising with a doctor and what I should ask about each. You are not diagnosing me. Where a marker is inside the range but has moved sharply, say so, and mark anything you are unsure about.28What caffeine, training and alcohol do to your sleep
Skill
Claude takes two or three weeks of your sleep scores next to the timing of your coffee, training and drinks, and shows which of them moves your sleep and by how much. You stop arguing about general advice and find out that your own limit is coffee before two, not before four.
Create a skill that produces a sleep correlation report. I give it: [nightly sleep score and duration], [time of my last coffee each day], [time and type of training], [alcohol and when], [bedtime]. It groups the nights by each factor and shows average sleep quality per group, with the number of nights behind every average. It then names the two factors with the clearest effect and my personal cutoff time for each. Say plainly when a sample is too small to trust.29What time to go to bed tonight
Skill
You tell Claude your first meeting tomorrow and how heavy today was, and it gives you a bedtime, a lights out window, and the two things to stop doing an hour before. It counts backwards from the morning you actually need, so the number is a decision instead of a wish.
Create a skill I run in the evening. It asks me four things: my first commitment tomorrow and where it is, how demanding today was out of ten, whether I trained and when, and what caffeine I had after midday. It returns a target bedtime, a window of twenty minutes around it, how long before that I need to wind down, and the two specific things to stop. My fixed inputs: [my normal wake time] and [how long I take to fall asleep]. Show the arithmetic from my morning time backwards so I can see how you got there.30Cycle syncing brief at 7am
Scheduled task
Every morning at 7 Claude works out where you are in your cycle and sends a brief with the training that fits this phase, what to eat more of today, and how hard to push at work. The same plan applied to all four weeks is why one week always feels like failure.
Set up a scheduled task that runs every day at 7:00. My last period started on [date] and my average cycle is [number] days. Each morning work out the phase I am in and send me a short brief: the training that suits this phase with a specific session, two foods to add today, how much focus work to plan, and one sentence on what to expect from my energy. Keep it under 150 words. When my cycle is irregular, say your estimate may be off and ask me to confirm.Food and the kitchen
The most exhausting question of the day arrives at six in the evening: what are we eating. These ten ideas close that question with one photo of the fridge, one list and one plan.
31Three dinners from a photo of your fridge
Chat
You send photos of your fridge and shelves, and Claude reads what is actually there, then gives you three dinners you can cook tonight plus a short list of the few things you are missing. It works because it plans around what will spoil first, not around a recipe you found online.
You are a practical home cook. I will upload photos of my fridge, freezer and shelves: [photos]. My household is [number of people], tonight I have [minutes] and my constraints are [allergies, diet, what I hate]. Read only what you can actually see in the photos. Give me three dinner options as a table with columns: dish, time, ingredients I already have, ingredients I am missing. Under the table, write one short shopping list covering all three. If you cannot identify an item clearly, say so instead of guessing.32Weekly meal plan with an aisle sorted grocery list
Skill
Claude builds a seven day plan around the meals you actually eat, then turns it into one grocery list grouped by store section so you walk the shop once. Every quantity is scaled to your exact number of servings, so you stop buying a full pack for a recipe that needs a third of it.
Act as a meal planning system I can reuse every week. Build me a Skill that takes: [who eats, how many servings], [dishes we already love], [nights we will not cook], [budget or store]. Output every week in the same shape: a seven day table of dinners, then a grocery list grouped by store section, with quantities scaled to my serving count. Reuse ingredients across meals so nothing is bought twice. Before you write the Skill, ask me the five questions you need answered to make it fit my kitchen.33One recipe library out of screenshots and scraps
Project
You drop screenshots, links and photos of handwritten recipes into one Project, and Claude rewrites all of them into the same format: servings, ingredients, steps, timing. It keeps your standing substitutions, so every recipe comes back already adjusted to what you actually cook with.
You are the editor of my personal cookbook. I will add screenshots, links and photos of handwritten recipes to this Project over time. Rewrite each one into one fixed format: title, servings, total time, ingredients with metric quantities, numbered steps, and a notes line. Apply my standing substitutions: [list them, for example butter to oil, no cilantro]. Keep the original wording where it carries flavour, cut the life story above the recipe. When a source is unclear or a quantity is missing, mark it clearly rather than filling in a plausible number.34Sunday batch prep in one oven sequence
Chat
Claude reads your week of planned meals and finds the components that can all be cooked in one session, then orders them by oven temperature and stovetop space so nothing waits. You get a timed sequence for the afternoon, not a pile of recipes you have to interleave in your head.
Work as my kitchen production planner. Here is what I plan to eat this week: [meals]. My kitchen has [one oven with N shelves, N burners, these pots]. I have [hours] on Sunday. Find every component across those meals that can be cooked ahead, group them by oven temperature and by pan, and give me a single timeline in fifteen minute blocks: what goes in, what comes out, what I do while waiting. End with how each component should be stored and how many days it keeps. Show your reasoning on the oven order.35Meal planner that rescales when you change servings
Artifact
Claude builds you a small web page where you pick meals for the week and set the number of servings, and every ingredient quantity plus the whole grocery list recalculates as you type. It lives in one file you can keep open on your phone in the shop.
Build me an interactive meal planner as a single self contained HTML artifact. Load it with these recipes: [paste recipes with base servings and ingredient quantities]. The page shows seven day slots I can assign recipes to, a servings input per meal, and a combined grocery list underneath grouped by store section. Changing servings anywhere must rescale that recipe and the grocery list instantly. Make it readable on a phone, with large tap targets. Ask me how I want fractional quantities rounded before you build it.36Photograph the menu and get the dishes that fit you
Chat
You photograph the menu at the table and Claude tells you which dishes match your goal, your allergies or your macros, and which ones quietly do not. It also names the swap to ask the waiter for, so you order in a minute instead of reading every line.
You are with me at a restaurant. Here is a photo of the menu: [photo]. My situation: [goal, for example high protein, low sugar], [allergies], [what I already ate today]. Read only the dishes on this menu. Give me a short ranked list: top three picks with a one line reason each, then two dishes to avoid and why. For each pick, write the exact sentence I can say to the waiter to adjust it. If a dish description is too vague to judge, say what you would ask the waiter.37The six o'clock dinner answer
Chat
You tell Claude how much time and energy you have and what is about to go off, and it gives you three dinners ranked by exactly that, with the winner marked. Each option shows the real minutes and the number of pans, so you choose in thirty seconds instead of scrolling.
It is six in the evening and I have to decide dinner now. I have [minutes], my energy is [low, medium, high], and these things need using up: [items]. In the kitchen I also have [staples]. Give me exactly three options, ranked, in a table: dish, minutes, pans to wash, what it uses up, effort out of five. Mark one as the recommendation and write one sentence on why it wins tonight. No dishes that need an ingredient I did not list.38Turn the containers in your fridge into one new meal
Chat
You list what is sitting in containers and Claude designs one new dish that uses the largest share of it, not three sad reheats. It tells you what to add, what to throw out and how the texture stays good after a second cooking.
Think like a cook who hates waste. In my fridge I have these leftovers: [item, roughly how much, how many days old]. Pantry staples available: [list]. Design one new meal that uses as much of this as possible and does not taste like reheated leftovers. Give me: the dish, what goes in and what stays out, the steps in order, and the one addition that makes it taste new. Then tell me honestly which items I should throw away instead of eating, and why.39Kitchen inventory that watches what is about to expire
Skill
Claude keeps a running list of what is in your fridge, freezer and cupboard with the date each thing entered, and every week it tells you the five items to use first. You add things by typing one line or sending a photo, and it updates the list instead of you rewriting it.
Build me a Skill that tracks my kitchen inventory. It should accept two kinds of input from me: a photo of shopping I just brought home, or a line like [three eggs used, bought 400g yoghurt]. Keep one table with item, quantity, location, date in, and estimated days left. Whenever I ask, return the five things to use first and two dishes that would clear them. Store estimates conservatively and mark any shelf life you are guessing at rather than stating it as fact.40Scale a recipe and replace what you do not have
Chat
Claude rewrites a recipe for the number of people you are actually feeding and swaps every ingredient you are missing, with the ratio each swap needs. It also warns you where scaling breaks, like baking times and salt, which is where most home scaling goes wrong.
Here is a recipe: [paste it]. It serves [N] and I need it for [M]. I do not have: [missing ingredients]. I do have: [what is in the kitchen]. Rewrite the recipe at the new size with every quantity recalculated, and replace each missing ingredient with a substitute plus the exact ratio to use. Then list separately anything that does not scale linearly, such as pan size, cooking time, salt and leavening, with the corrected value. Show the arithmetic for the three biggest quantities.Career, LinkedIn and the job hunt
LinkedIn is still an almost empty field in Armenia, and that is exactly the opportunity. These ten ideas take the work you have already done and turn it into a profile, posts and answers that make people find you.
41Your LinkedIn rewritten for the job you want

Claude reads ten current postings for the role you want, pulls the words those employers actually repeat, and rewrites your headline, your about section and every role bullet in that language. Your profile stops describing the job you have and starts matching what recruiters search for.
You are a recruiter who writes LinkedIn profiles. I will give you [ten postings for the role I want] and [my current profile text]. First pull the words and phrases those postings repeat, then rewrite three things: five headline options under 220 characters, one about section of 120 words in first person, and every role bullet with the result first. Show a table matching each rewrite to the posting term it covers. Keep every number and job title exactly as I gave it, and tell me which claims I still cannot back up.42Thirty days of posts from work you already did
Project
A project that holds what you actually work on and turns it into a dated plan: twelve posts across thirty days, each with the day, the angle, the first line and the piece of your own work it came from. Nothing in it is generic advice, because Claude works only from your material.
In this project you plan my LinkedIn month. Files I will add: [notes on the work I finished this quarter], [numbers I am allowed to share publicly], [the three people I want reading me]. Produce a table of twelve posts across thirty days: date, format, working title, opening line, the file it came from, and the ask at the end. Vary the format, never repeat one twice in a row, and invent no result I did not give you. Before the table, ask me which week I am busiest so the light posts land there.43One finished project, one post worth reading
Skill
A skill you call the day you finish something: you describe the work and Claude returns a post in four moves, the problem, what you did, the number, and the one line a reader can steal. It will not write until you give that number, which is what separates a post from a diary entry.
In this skill you turn one finished piece of work into a LinkedIn post. I will tell you [what the work was], [who it was for], [what was hard] and [the number it moved]. If I do not give the number, ask for it and write nothing until I do. Return four parts: the problem in one sentence, what I did, the number and what it means, and one line a reader can use in their own work tomorrow. Keep it under 150 words, no hashtags. Then offer two other opening lines.44Job hunt board with stalled applications
Artifact
One board holding every application by stage, from applied to offer, with the date of your last contact and the name of the person you spoke to. Anything you owe a follow up on turns overdue, and anything untouched for fourteen days moves to a stalled section.
Build my job search command center as one artifact. For each application I will give [company, role, date applied, stage, contact person, last touch date]. Show a board with columns applied, screening, interview, offer and closed, plus an overdue follow ups panel and a stalled section for anything with no movement in fourteen days. Add a weekly counter of applications sent. Tell me what my numbers say about where I am losing people, and do not soften it.45Resume rewritten for one exact posting
Chat
You give one job description and your current resume, and Claude rewrites the bullets so each answers something that posting asks for, keeping every number true and cutting what the role does not care about. The cover letter comes from the same pass and finally matches.
You are a recruiter who screens for [role]. Here is [the full job posting] and [my current resume]. Rewrite my experience so each bullet answers something the posting asks for, keeping every fact and number exactly as I gave it, and cut whatever is irrelevant to this role. Return the tailored resume, a short list of what you removed and why, and a cover letter under two hundred words. Flag any requirement I genuinely do not meet instead of covering it with vague wording.46The interview brief you read an hour before
Chat
Claude gives you one page before the interview: what the company sells and to whom, what changed for them this year, what your interviewer works on, and five questions you could only ask after reading. Every line carries its source, so you never repeat something that stopped being true two years ago.
You are my researcher before an interview. Company [name and website], role [title], the person interviewing me [name and title], date [when]. Search public sources and give me one page: what they sell and to whom, how they make money, three things that changed for them in the last year, what my interviewer works on, and five questions I could ask. Put a link and a date next to every fact. Whatever you could not verify, mark unverified rather than filling it in.47A first message a stranger actually answers
Chat
Claude writes three short first messages to someone who could hire you or refer you, each opening with a specific thing they did, one clear ask, and no flattery. It also writes the one follow up to send after a week of silence, which is where most replies actually come from.
You write my first message to a stranger. Here is [their profile or a post of theirs], [who I am in one sentence] and [what I want from them]. Give three versions, each under 60 words: the opening line names something specific they did, one sentence about me, and one ask that is easy to say yes to. Then write the one follow up to send after a week of silence. Cut any sentence that would work just as well sent to somebody else.48Career receipts you can prove later
Skill
Every time something goes well you drop one line into the log and Claude turns it into a dated entry with the metric, the skill it proves and who saw it. When review season arrives, your review notes and resume bullets build themselves out of a year you had forgotten.
You keep my career receipts. My role is [my role and level] and the skills I need to prove are [skills that matter for my next step]. When I state a win in one line, ask only the questions needed to fill date, what I did, the measurable result, the skill it proves and who noticed, then store it as one row. Never let a row sit without a number or a named witness. When I ask, output review notes grouped by competency or resume bullets in strong verb form, and tell me which months look suspiciously empty.49Raise conversation prepared and rehearsed
Chat
Claude builds your case from the wins you logged and the pay data for your role and city, gives you one number to ask for and the sentence to say it in, then plays your manager at their most difficult. You arrive having already survived the budget answer.
Prepare me for a raise conversation. Inputs: [my role, level, city], [current pay], [my logged wins and numbers], [what my manager cares about], [how they usually push back]. First give me my case on one page: the number to ask for with the market range behind it, three proof points, and my opening two sentences. Then play my manager and push back hard three times, including on budget. After that, tell me which of my answers were weak.50The first 90 days, cut into three checkpoints
Chat
Claude turns the role you just took into three checkpoints: what you should understand by day 30, 60 and 90, who to meet and the question to ask each of them, and the one visible thing you ship in each block. Most people spend the first month being polite and land nothing.
You are advising me on my first 90 days as [role] at [what the company does]. My team is [who does what], my manager said success looks like [what they said], and I am most worried about [what]. Ask me two questions about the team before you write anything. Then give three blocks, day 30, day 60 and day 90, each with what I should understand by then, who to meet and the question to ask them, and one visible thing I ship. End with the mistake new people make here in month one.Travel
Planning a trip eats hours, and then on day one you discover the two places are on opposite ends of the city. This part turns planning into a matter of minutes and removes those mistakes.
51A full itinerary with names, prices and sensible routing
Chat
Claude writes each day of the trip hour by hour, with named hotels and restaurants, real price ranges and a route that does not send you back across the city twice. You get a plan you can actually book, instead of a list of sights with no order.
You are my trip planner. Trip: [city or region], [dates], [who is going], [budget per day], [what we like and hate], [pace]. Write a day by day itinerary with times, named places to eat and stay, entry costs, and how we get between each stop. Keep each day inside one area so we are not crossing the city twice. Mark anything whose price or opening hours you are unsure about so I can verify it before booking.52Trip dashboard you open on the road
Artifact
Claude builds one interactive page with a card for every day, a budget that updates as you spend, a packing checklist split by category and a reservations log sorted by date. Everything about the trip sits in one link you can open on your phone at the airport.
Build me a single page trip dashboard as an artifact. Trip data: [destination], [dates], [travellers], [total budget], [flights and hotels already booked], [what we plan to do]. The page needs four parts: a card per day with plan and cost, a budget bar showing spent against total, a packing checklist grouped by category with tick boxes, and a reservations table sorted by date with confirmation numbers. Make it readable on a phone screen first, desktop second.53Three flights and three hotels side by side
Chat
You paste the options you found and Claude lays out three flights and three hotels in one table with total cost, loyalty points earned, cancellation terms and what each one actually costs you in time. The cheapest ticket stops looking cheap once the transfer and the change fee are in the same row.
Compare travel options for me. I will paste [three flight options] and [three hotel options] with their prices, times and terms, plus my [loyalty programmes] and [trip dates]. Build two tables, one per category, with columns for total real cost including bags and transfers, time door to door, points earned, cancellation and change rules, and one line on who each option suits. End with your pick and the single reason for it. Show the arithmetic on the totals.54Packing list built from the actual forecast
Chat
Claude takes your dates, your destination and the forecast you paste in, then builds a packing list per person and per bag, including what goes in hand luggage. Lists made from weather beat lists made from habit, which is how you end up with three jumpers and no rain jacket.
Be my packing planner. Trip: [destination], [dates], [who is travelling and their ages], [bags we have], [activities planned], and here is the forecast I copied: [paste]. Give me one list per person, split into hand luggage, checked bag and worn on the plane, with quantities based on the forecast and laundry access. Add a short section of things people forget for this kind of trip. Do not pad the list, cut anything we would not wear twice.55Every confirmation pulled from your inbox into your calendar
Connector
With Gmail and Google Calendar connected, Claude finds the flight, hotel and restaurant confirmations buried in your inbox and turns them into calendar entries with times, addresses and booking numbers. You stop searching your mail at the check in desk for a code you already received.
Using my Gmail and Google Calendar, find every booking confirmation for [trip name or dates]: flights, hotels, trains, restaurants, tickets. List what you found in a table with date, time, provider, confirmation number and address, then ask me which ones to add to my calendar. Create each approved one as an event in the local time of the place, with the confirmation number and address in the notes. Do not create anything before I confirm the list.56One trip for two people who travel differently
Skill
Claude takes both of your travel styles, the planner and the wanderer, and builds days that alternate instead of averaging, so each of you gets whole days that are yours. A compromise itinerary usually leaves both people mildly disappointed, an alternating one does not.
Act as our two style trip planner. Person A: [name, what a good day looks like, energy level, must do]. Person B: [same]. Trip: [place], [dates], [budget]. Give a day by day plan where each day is labelled A day, B day or shared day, never blended, with the other person's small win inside every day. Add one table of the negotiations you made. Ask each of us three questions first, separately, before you plan anything.57Jet lag plan for your exact flight
Chat
Claude builds a schedule for the days before and after your flight: when to seek light, when to avoid it, when to shift meals and caffeine and when to sleep, all tied to your departure and arrival times. Shifting before you fly is what turns a four day recovery into one.
Plan my jet lag shift. Flight: [departure city and time], [arrival city and time], [time zone difference], [when I normally sleep], [what I need to do on arrival day], [do I drink coffee]. Give me a schedule table starting three days before the flight and ending three days after, with rows for light, caffeine, meals, naps and bedtime for each day, in local time with the zone named. Tell me the one rule that matters most for my direction of travel.58Post trip debrief so the next trip is better
Project
In a project that keeps your travel history, Claude debriefs each trip: what was worth the money, what you would skip, what you packed and never touched, and how the pace felt. After three trips it plans from your evidence instead of general advice.
This project holds my travel history for [me and who I usually travel with]. After each trip, ask me the debrief questions: what I would repeat, what I would cut, where the money went well and badly, what I packed and never used, how the pace felt, what I wish I had booked earlier. Save the answers as one page per trip, named [destination and month]. When I plan a new trip, open with what my own past trips say about how I travel, quoting them by name.59What you can really see during a layover
Chat
Claude takes your layover length, the airport and the visa rules you give it, subtracts border control, transport and a safe return buffer, and tells you what is actually reachable. Sometimes the honest answer is a good meal in the terminal, and that is still a plan.
Plan my layover. Details: [airport], [arrival and departure times], [passport I hold], [whether my bags are checked through], [have I been to this city]. Work out my real free time after immigration, transport both ways and a ninety minute return buffer, then give me two options: one that leaves the airport and one that does not, each as a timed plan with costs. Show the time arithmetic so I can see the buffer.60Country brief before you land
Chat
Claude gives you one page on the place you are going: twenty phrases you will actually use, tipping norms, how transport and payment work, and the habits that read as rude there. It is the difference between visiting a country and being comfortable in it.
Write me a country brief for [country or city], for a trip of [length] as [who I am travelling as], staying in [area]. Cover: twenty phrases with pronunciation written for an Armenian speaker, tipping and haggling norms, how to pay and get around, three things visitors do that annoy locals, what to wear, safety notes and one local custom worth joining. Keep it to one page and mark anything that varies by region.Family and people
The heaviest load in relationships is not the work, it is the remembering. Whose birthday it is, who does the pickup, who you have not spoken to in months. These ten ideas take that remembering out of your head.
61Sunday scan of the family week
Scheduled task
Every Sunday evening Claude reads the coming week across your family calendars and returns a day by day table with every conflict flagged: two children in two places at the same hour, a pickup nobody owns, an evening with no dinner window. Each conflict arrives with a named parent already assigned.
You are our family logistics coordinator. I will paste the coming week: [family members and ages], [school and activity times], [work hours per parent], [who drives what]. Return one table with a row per day and columns for time, event, person, driver and a conflict flag. Below it list every impossible overlap and assign a named parent to each unowned pickup. Ask me what you need about travel times before you assign anything.62Family HQ so no chat starts cold
Project
A project holding one file per family member: allergies, clothing and shoe sizes, school and teacher, doctor and insurance, bedtime and routine, plus what calms each of them down. Every future chat inside this project already knows it, so you stop retyping ages and medication every time.
You are setting up our family knowledge base. Ask me about one member at a time: [name and age], [allergies and medication], [sizes], [school and teachers], [doctor and clinic], [daily routine], [what calms them]. Turn each answer into a one page profile with fixed headings so every profile looks identical, then finish with a shared household page for wifi, addresses and emergency contacts. Do not fill any field by guessing, mark what I skipped as unknown.63Mental load splitter for fourteen days
Skill
Claude lists every household task for the next fourteen days, including the invisible ones like tracking when the medicine runs out or remembering a teacher's birthday, then splits them between you and your partner by real minutes. The worst chores rotate weekly so nobody owns dishes forever.
Act as a neutral household task auditor for two adults. From [our schedules], [who currently does what], [children and pets], [any task one of us refuses], build a fourteen day table: task, hidden or visible, minutes, owner, day. Balance the totals within ten percent between us and rotate the three most disliked chores each week. Show minute totals per person at the bottom, and name any task I forgot that a household like ours always has.64Birthday radar with gifts and a message
Scheduled task
Every week Claude checks which birthdays and anniversaries fall in the next fourteen days and returns each person with three gift options inside your budget, one cheap, one middle, one memorable. It also drafts the message in your own voice, so the reminder and the doing arrive together.
You are my gift and occasions manager, running every Monday. My list is [names, dates, relationship], my budgets are [amount per tier], my style is [how I normally write messages]. Show only people with a date in the next fourteen days: a short block each with three gift options at different prices, why each fits them, where to buy locally, and a ready to send message in my voice. If you do not know enough about someone, ask instead of guessing.65Gift history so you never repeat yourself
Project
One running log per person: what you gave, when, what it cost, and the honest reaction, from delighted to politely thanked and never used. Before the next occasion Claude reads the history and rules out anything close to a repeat, which is the part memory always gets wrong.
You keep my gift history. Start a file per person from [name], [past gifts with year and rough cost], [how each landed], [their interests now]. Format every entry as one line: year, gift, cost, reaction, notes. When I later say I need a gift for someone, read their file first and give five ideas that avoid every category I already used, with a one line reason each. Tell me honestly when a file is too thin to be useful.66Stay in touch tracker with three names
Artifact
An artifact holding the people you actually want to keep, each with how often you meant to talk and when you last did. Open it and the top of the screen shows only the three you are most overdue to contact, plus a first line you can send now.
Build me a single page stay in touch tracker as an artifact. Data I will give: [names], [how we know each other], [how often I want to talk to each], [date of last contact]. The page should compute how overdue each person is, show the three most overdue at the top with a suggested opening line, and list everyone else below. Keep it usable on a phone, and tell me which of my intended frequencies look unrealistic.67Personal CRM for the people in your life
Artifact
A dashboard where every person carries how you met, which circle they belong to, what they are working on, the last thing you talked about and the next follow up you promised. An overdue section pulls forward anyone you owe something to, so promises stop dying in chat history.
Act as the builder of my personal CRM and produce it as one interactive artifact. I will provide [people], [how we met], [tier such as inner circle, warm, professional], [last conversation topic], [anything I promised them]. Output a filterable dashboard grouped by tier, a card per person, and an overdue promises section at the top. Include a box where I can paste a new note and see where it belongs. Ask me for missing fields before building, do not invent details.68Date night built from live traffic
Connector
Claude reads your calendar for a free evening, finds three restaurants that are open and bookable that night, then works backwards from the reservation through live travel time to tell you the exact minute to leave. It adds one walkable backup, because first choices fill up.
You are planning our date night using my calendar and current traffic. Inputs: [our city and neighbourhood], [cuisines we like and hate], [budget per person], [babysitter window if any]. Find a free evening this week, then give three restaurants with booking link, price level and why it fits us, the departure time from [home address] based on live travel time, and one walkable backup near the top pick. Say clearly which details you could not verify live rather than assuming.69Rehearse the hard conversation first
Chat
You describe the person and the thing you have been avoiding saying, and Claude answers as them, using their known reactions, defences and favourite counterattacks. You hear the worst version of the reply in private, so the real conversation is the second time you have had it.
Play the other person in a conversation I am dreading. They are [who they are to me], they usually react by [their pattern], the history is [what happened before], and I need to say [the thing I am avoiding]. Stay in character and respond exactly as they would, including going quiet or turning it back on me. After four exchanges, break character and tell me which of my sentences made it worse, with better wording for each.70Pet manager with a vet ready summary
Skill
One place for vaccine dates, medication refills, weight and daily food amounts per animal, with the next due item always at the top. When something looks wrong you log the symptom in plain words, and Claude turns weeks of small notes into the timeline your vet needs.
You manage my pets' health records. Set up from [animal, breed, age, weight], [vaccine history with dates], [current medication and refill dates], [food brand and daily amount]. Keep a dashboard with the next three due items first. When I add a symptom note, ask the follow up questions a vet would ask, store it, then rewrite the last thirty days into a dated summary I can read out at the clinic. Never suggest a diagnosis or a dose, only what to report.Learning and skills
A tutor who never gets tired, remembers every mistake you made, and refuses to hand you the answer until you reach it yourself. These ten ideas replace the courses you buy and never finish.
71Language project that remembers your words
Project
A project where Claude roleplays real situations in the language you are learning, corrects your writing line by line with the reason for each fix, and keeps a growing list of the words you personally keep missing. Your mistakes accumulate instead of resetting with every new chat.
You are my [target language] tutor and my level is [my level]. Each session: run a roleplay from [situations I actually need], correct every line I write with the original, the fix and a one line reason, then add new words to a running vocabulary file with my own example sentence. Start each session by testing me on five words from that file. Correct everything, including what I got almost right, and do not switch to my own language unless I ask.72Speaking practice out loud in voice mode
Chat
In voice mode you speak your target language out loud and Claude answers in it, then names the words that came out wrong in the transcript and the phrasing a native speaker would never use. This is the one version of speaking practice with no audience watching.
We are doing spoken practice in [target language] at [my level]. I will speak, you reply in that language at a speed I can follow, and stay inside the scenario [situation I need it for]. Every three turns, pause and give me a short correction block: what I said, what a native speaker would say, and one sound or word ending I keep getting wrong in the transcript. Keep your own replies under four sentences so I do most of the talking.73Tutor that refuses to give the answer
Skill
A skill that flips Claude into question mode: whatever you ask, it replies with the next question that gets you one step closer, and it will not hand over the solution even when you push. You end up holding the reasoning yourself, which is what understanding means.
In this skill you are a Socratic tutor for [subject]. My level is [what I already know] and my goal is [what I need to understand]. Never state the answer, even if I ask directly or say I give up. Give one question at a time that moves me forward, and confirm only when I say the correct thing myself. If I stall twice on the same step, narrow the question instead of solving it, and finish by asking me to explain it all back.74Explained at your depth, then you get tested
Chat
Claude explains the concept at the exact depth you ask for, with one example from your own field, then tests you with five questions one at a time. What you get wrong gets explained again in a different way, and only that piece, until it holds.
Teach me [concept]. My level is [what I already know] and I need it for [why]. First explain it [in plain words, or the way you would explain to an engineer, or with the maths], under 300 words, with one example from [my field]. Then ask me five questions, one at a time, easy to hard, and wait for my answer. When I miss one, explain only the part I missed in a different way and ask a new question on that same part. At the end name what I still do not understand.75The things you keep forgetting, back before they go
Skill
A skill that keeps everything you are trying to remember in one table with the date you last got it right and when it is due again. Ask for a round and it hands you only what is due today, pushing the ones you knew further out and the ones you missed back to tomorrow.
You are my spaced repetition partner. I will add items as [question] and [answer], starting with [what I keep forgetting]. Keep one table: item, the last date I got it right, current interval in days, next due date. When I say run a round, ask only the items due today, one at a time, and wait for my answer. Double the interval when I get it right, set it back to one day when I do not. Never show the answer before I try, and at the end tell me the three items I keep failing.76Gap map built from fifteen real job posts
Skill
Claude pulls fifteen current postings for the role you want, counts which skills appear most often, and marks each one have, partial or gap against your real experience. The study plan that follows is ordered by how often employers asked, not by what a course seller decided.
You are a hiring market analyst. Find fifteen live postings for [role] in [location or remote], then build one table: skill, how many of the fifteen required it, my status as have, partial or gap based on [my experience], and the evidence I could show. Sort by frequency. Finish with a study plan covering only the gaps in the top ten, with what to build as proof for each. Link the postings you used and flag any skill that appeared in fewer than three.77Twenty saved courses, four that survive
Chat
You paste everything you saved, courses, tutorials, videos, and Claude sorts each into keep, later or kill against the one goal you name, in the order you should do them. Every kill comes with the sentence saying why it does not serve this goal, so the list stops following you around.
I will paste [the list of courses, tutorials and videos I saved] and [the one goal I want to reach in six months]. Sort every item into keep, later or kill. In keep put at most four, in the order I should do them, each with what I will be able to do afterwards. Next to everything else write one sentence saying why it does not serve this goal. If two teach the same thing, kill the longer one and say so. Do not go easy on me.78From today to the exam date, with a mock test
Project
A project that turns your topic list and your test date into a week by week plan, with what to study, what to practise and one checkpoint every week. Ask for a mock and it writes a full test in the real format, scores it, and names the topics that would fail you.
In this project you prepare me for [exam or certification]. The date is [when]. I will add [the official topic list], [what I already know well] and [hours I can study each week]. Build a plan from today to that date, week by week, with topics, what to practise and one checkpoint. When I ask for a mock, write a full test in the real format and question count, score it, and give a percentage plus the topics that would fail me. Weight the plan towards my weakest topics, and say plainly if the date is not realistic.79Reading backlog ranked against your goals
Artifact
Paste the saved articles and videos piling up and Claude scores each one against what you are actually working on this quarter, then picks the three worth this week and marks the rest keep or delete. The backlog becomes a short list with a reason attached to every item.
Act as my reading editor and produce a ranked artifact. Inputs: [my saved links with titles], [my two goals this quarter], [how much reading time I really have per week]. Score every item one to five for relevance to those goals, output a sorted table with score, reason and estimated reading time, then name the three for this week and mark everything under three as delete. Be blunt about items I saved for identity reasons rather than usefulness.80Three actions from a book, not a summary
Chat
You paste your highlights from a book and Claude refuses to summarise, returning three things you would change in your own week, each tied to the exact quote and the day you would start. Summaries feel productive and change nothing, which is why books leave no trace.
I will paste my highlights from [book title] by [author]. Do not summarise the book. Based on [what my life and work look like now], give exactly three changes I could actually make, each with the highlight it came from, the first small step, the day to start, and what I would drop to make room. Then name the one highlight that sounds wise but would change nothing for me, and say why.Your head and your decisions
The worst decisions do not come from bad thinking, they come from thinking alone. These ten ideas give you a mirror, an opponent and an archive so that months later you can check whether you were right.
81Daily check in log that finds your patterns
Skill
Claude logs your energy, mood, sleep hours and one line about the day into a running file, then compares this week against last week and names what shifted. Because the entry takes twenty seconds you actually keep it, and the shifts only become visible once there are enough days to compare.
You are my daily check in tracker. Every time I write to you I will give you [energy 1 to 10], [mood in one word], [hours slept] and [one line about the day]. Append it to a file called checkin.md as a table row, then reply with a two line confirmation and nothing else. Every seventh entry, compare the last seven days against the previous seven and tell me which number moved most and what my own lines suggest caused it. Do not give me wellness advice I did not ask for.82Journal that draws your mood curve
Artifact
Claude builds you a single HTML page where you type an entry, rate mood and energy, and watch a trend line and a monthly heatmap fill in as the days pass. After fourteen entries it starts naming patterns, for example which weekday is consistently your lowest, which a paper journal can never tell you.
Build me a single file HTML journal I can open in my browser. Each entry takes a date, a free text note, a mood score and an energy score, both 1 to 10, and saves to local storage so nothing leaves my computer. Show a line chart of mood and energy over time and a heatmap of the current month coloured by mood. Once there are fourteen entries, show a panel that names two patterns you can actually see in my data. Ask me about styling before you write any code.83Therapy prep from your own check ins
Skill
Claude reads your check in log and journal from the last few weeks and turns them into a short list of talking points, with the dates and the exact lines that back each one. You stop spending the first fifteen minutes of a paid session trying to remember how your month actually went.
You are helping me prepare for a therapy session. I will paste [my check in entries or journal notes from the last few weeks] and tell you [what my therapist and I worked on last time]. Give me at most five talking points, ranked by how often the theme appears, each with the dates and the exact quotes from my own writing that support it. Add one question I seem to be avoiding. Do not interpret or diagnose anything, only show me what I wrote.84Weighted decision matrix with the swing factor
Artifact
Claude asks what actually matters to you, turns it into weighted criteria, scores each option and shows it all in one interactive table where every number is visible. Then it names the single criterion whose weight, if you changed your mind about it, would flip the winner.
You are helping me make a decision with a weighted matrix. The options are [option A, option B, option C] and the decision is [describe the decision]. Ask me questions until you have five to seven criteria and a weight for each. Then build a single HTML page with sliders for the weights, a score table showing the weighted math inside each cell, and a total row. Under the table, name the one criterion that would flip the winner if its weight changed, and say by how much. Do not invent criteria for me, keep asking until I answer.85Devil's advocate that then tells you the truth
Chat
Claude argues the strongest case against your plan, one objection at a time, using the specifics you gave it rather than generic risk talk. Then it drops the act and tells you which one objection actually survives, so you know what to fix instead of feeling vaguely discouraged.
Play devil's advocate against my plan. The plan is [describe the plan in five sentences] and my situation is [budget, time, who else is involved]. Give me your five strongest objections, ordered from most to least serious, each in three sentences and each tied to something specific I told you. Then break character and tell me which one objection actually survives if I think it through, and which ones are just noise. No general life or business advice, only objections to this plan.86A council of five advisors and one verdict
Skill
Claude answers your question five separate times as five different advisors, an optimist, a sceptic, an operator, a money person and someone who knows you, then has them critique each other's answers without names attached. The final verdict is one page, and it tells you where the five disagreed.
Run my question through a council of five advisors. The question is [your question] and the context is [what you have tried, your constraints, what you are afraid of]. Step one, answer as each advisor separately: an optimist, a sceptic, an operator who has done this, someone thinking only about money, and someone who knows me well. Step two, show each advisor critiquing the other four anonymously. Step three, give one verdict of at most one page, including the point where they disagreed most. Flag anything you are guessing about.87Reframer for a message you cannot read
Skill
You paste the message that upset you and Claude gives three plausible readings of it, hostile, neutral and warm, then checks which words in the actual text support each reading. It ends with three replies you could send, so you answer the message instead of rereading it for an hour.
I got a message I cannot read properly. Here it is: [paste the exact message]. Context: [who sent it, our relationship, what happened before]. Give me three readings of it, a hostile one, a neutral one and a warm one, and for each quote the exact words that support it. Then say which reading the evidence actually favours and how confident you are. Finish with three replies I could send, short, medium and direct. Do not soften the hostile reading if the words support it.88A vivid picture of your life three years out
Chat
Claude writes a specific sensory description of one ordinary day in your life three years from now, built from what you actually said you want, not from a motivational template. Then it names the first concrete change that would make that day plausible, and what it would cost you.
Ask me ten questions about what I want my life to look like in three years, one at a time, and wait for each answer. Then write one page describing a single ordinary Tuesday in that life, in the present tense, with concrete sensory detail: where I wake up, what the room sounds like, who I talk to, what I do before noon. Use only what I told you, invent nothing. End with the one change I would have to make in the next ninety days for this to be plausible, and what it costs.89Decision archive that checks your judgment later
Artifact
Claude builds a file where each decision is stored with the date, the options, the criteria and weights you used, what you expected and how confident you felt. Months later you reopen it and see whether the thing you were sure about actually happened, which is the only way to learn from your own calls.
Build me a decision archive as a single HTML page that saves to local storage. Each record holds: date, the decision in one line, the options I considered, my criteria with weights, the option I chose, what I expect to happen, my confidence from 1 to 10, and a review date. The main view lists open decisions and flags any whose review date has passed. When I open a past decision, show my original expectation first and ask me what actually happened before showing anything else.90Quarterly review against what you told yourself
Project
You give Claude a project folder with your goals, habit log, spending and journal, and it produces a quarterly report that puts what you said you would do next to what the files show you did. The gap is stated as a number, not as a feeling, for every area.
You are reviewing my quarter using only the files in this project: my goals, my habit log, my spending export and my journal. Produce a report with one section per goal containing: what I wrote at the start of the quarter, what the data shows I actually did, the gap as a number or a percentage, and one sentence on why. Then list the three habits with the widest gap and the one goal I should drop. Quote the file and the date for every claim you make.Digital life, shopping and rest
The last ten ideas are small, and that is exactly why they work every single day. What to wear, what to buy, what to watch, which email to answer, which file to delete.
91An about me file so no chat starts cold
Project
Claude interviews you and writes a file describing how you think, how you work, what you are trying to do this year and what you never want suggested to you. Drop it into any project and every future conversation starts with context you would otherwise retype for the hundredth time.
Interview me so you can write a file called aboutme.md. Ask me about: how I make decisions, how I like information presented, my work and who it serves, what I am trying to do this year, my hard limits, and the advice I am tired of hearing. Ask in batches of three questions and wait for my answers. Then write the file in under four hundred words, in the second person, as instructions to a future Claude. Tell me which sections you had to guess at.92Weekly cleanup of your Downloads folder
Scheduled task
Every week Claude sorts your Downloads into folders by type, moves anything older than sixty days into an archive folder by month, and lists files that look like duplicates. It shows you the plan before it moves anything, so a file you actually needed never disappears quietly.
Every Sunday at 10:00, clean my Downloads folder at [path to your Downloads folder]. Sort files into subfolders by type: Documents, Images, Installers, Archives, Other. Move anything untouched for more than sixty days into Archive/[year month]. List files with the same name, or the same size and extension, as likely duplicates, but do not delete them. Print the full plan as a table of source and destination first, wait for my approval, then execute. If a filename looks personally important, leave it where it is and tell me why.93Second brain over a plain folder of notes
Chat
Claude reads your folder of markdown notes, answers questions across all of them with the file and line it came from, and writes new notes back into the same folder in your own format. Nothing lives in an app you would have to escape from later, only plain files on your own disk.
You are my second brain over the notes folder at [path to your notes folder]. When I ask a question, search every file, answer in at most five sentences, and cite the filename and the exact line you used. When I say save this, write a new markdown file in that folder using my existing naming style and add links to the two most related notes. When I ask what am I missing, name topics I write about often but never connected. If the folder does not answer the question, say so instead of guessing.94Morning inbox triage with the replies drafted
Scheduled task
Every weekday morning Claude sorts the mail that arrived overnight into urgent, needs a reply, read later and delete, with one line on each explaining the call. The three that need a reply come with a draft already written in your voice, so your first hour is approving rather than composing.
Every weekday at 08:00, read the email that arrived in my inbox since yesterday morning. Sort every message into exactly one of: urgent, needs a reply, read later, delete. Give me a table with sender, subject, category and one line saying why. Then write draft replies for the three most important messages in the needs a reply group, matching how I usually write. Save them as drafts, do not send anything. If a message could be a scam or a payment request, put it at the top and say what looks wrong.95Scam check for the message you are unsure about
Project
You paste the suspicious SMS, email or link and Claude gives a verdict, safe, suspicious or scam, then lists the specific signals in that exact text: the fake domain, the urgency, the wrong bank name. It ends with what to do now, including whether you need to change a password.
You check suspicious messages for me. I will paste [the full message including the sender address and any links] and tell you [what I already clicked or replied, if anything]. Give a verdict of safe, suspicious or scam with a confidence percentage. Then list every red flag you can point to in the actual text, quoting it, and separately list what would be normal for a real message from that organisation. End with numbered steps for what to do in the next hour. Never open or visit a link, judge it from the text alone.96Outfit picker that knows your closet and your day
Project
Claude keeps a catalogue of what you own, checks today's weather and what is on your calendar, then names one outfit by the exact items, plus a layer to carry if the evening turns cold. Instead of standing in front of the wardrobe, you read one sentence and get dressed.
In this project I have a file listing my clothes with colour, warmth and formality. Each morning, read that file, get today's forecast for [your city], look at my calendar, and name one outfit using the exact item names from the file. Give the outfit, one alternative, and the layer I should take if I will be out after dark. Say in one line why this works for today's coldest hour and my most formal meeting. Do not assume everything is clean, ask me first.97Should I buy this, checked against what you own
Skill
Before you buy, Claude compares the thing you want against the list of what you already own, names the closest item you have and asks what it fails to do. You get a buy or skip verdict with the reason and, when it says skip, the cheaper fix that solves the same problem.
I want to buy [item and price] because [the reason I think I need it]. Check it against my inventory file first, find the closest thing I already own, and ask me what that item fails to do. Then give a verdict of buy, wait or skip, with the cost per use if I use it [how often I realistically expect to use it]. If the verdict is skip, give the cheaper way to solve the same problem with what I have. Do not be encouraging, I want the version that argues against me.98Product research brief on your own criteria
Chat
Claude asks what you will actually do with the thing, turns your answers into four or five criteria, then finds real named models that fit them. You get one table, a recommendation, a runner up and the one fact that would change the answer, ranked by what matters to you rather than by review headlines.
I am researching [product category] with a budget of [amount]. Before recommending anything, ask me five questions about how I will actually use it and where I have been disappointed before. Turn my answers into five weighted criteria and show them to me. Then give a table of four real models available in [your country], scored against those criteria, with current prices marked as approximate. Finish with one recommendation, one runner up, and the single thing I should check in person. Say clearly which prices and specs you are unsure about.99Thursday planner for the weekend ahead
Scheduled task
Every Thursday Claude looks at the gaps in your weekend calendar, the actual forecast for those hours and what is really happening in your city, then sends you two or three concrete plans by Friday morning. Each plan has a time, a place and what it costs, so deciding takes a minute.
Every Thursday at 18:00, plan my weekend. Look at my calendar for Saturday and Sunday, find the free blocks longer than three hours, check the forecast for exactly those hours in [your city], and search for events actually happening that weekend. Send me two or three plans, each with a time window, a place, the cost, and one line on why it fits the weather. Include one option for bad weather and one that costs nothing. Give me only events you can confirm are real, and say where you found each one.100What to watch tonight, scored on your taste
Project
Claude keeps a file of what you have watched and what you thought of it, then gives you three picks for tonight plus one wildcard, each with a score and one line on why it fits. The picks are matched to how much time and energy you have, not to what a platform is promoting.
This project holds my watch history with a rating and one line of reaction for each title. Tonight I have [how many minutes] and I feel like [mood, for example tired, want to think, want to laugh]. Give me three picks and one wildcard that contradicts my usual taste. For each: title, year, runtime, where I can watch it in [your country], a fit score out of ten and one line naming which of my past ratings it is based on. Do not suggest anything already in my history.Start with these ten
If you do not know where to grab this, these ten give the fastest result. Tick them off as you build them.
