Claude Code for Your Week
The Name Is Lying To You
"Claude Code" sounds like developer-only territory.
It isn't.
What Anthropic actually shipped: an agent that automates the boring stuff. Forms. File sorting. Competitive research. The papercuts that eat 3–5 hours from your week.
Three things you can do RIGHT NOW (no coding required):
1. Vendor intake forms Stop copy-pasting data into forms. Claude Code fills them while you watch. One row at a time, verified before submit.
Time saved: 30 mins per week per person
2. Messy Downloads folder Tell it: "Rename these PDFs by date and vendor." It reads the contents, extracts the info, renames everything correctly.
Time saved: 1 hour (one-time)
3. Competitor pricing Visit 10 sites. Extract pricing, features, limits. Standardize into a single CSV. What took you 2 hours takes 10 minutes.
Time saved: 1.5 hours per research cycle
The ONE pattern that makes this work:
The Dry Run.
Before Claude touches ANYTHING, tell it: "Show me your plan. Do NOT execute."
You review. You approve. THEN it executes.
This catches mistakes before they happen. It's the difference between experimenting and actually shipping.
Who's doing this already?
Three of my clients are running Claude Code on vendor intake, expense categorization, and market research.
Combined: 12–15 hours reclaimed per week across three teams.
Not theoretical. Actually happening.
Want to try it?
Reply in this thread with ONE task you do repeatedly that makes you think "I wish this was automated."
I'll walk you through:
- How to set it up (5 minutes)
- The exact prompt to use
- How to verify it worked
Pick something low-stakes. You're learning the mental model, not betting the business.
Pick something that happens weekly. That's where the leverage compounds.
This week's challenge:
Identify one "papercut" task you do repeatedly. Comment below. We'll automate it together.
The goal isn't perfection. It's proof that delegation actually works.
Then you scale it.
