Overview
The solution to this problem is as old as computers: it's a folder.
Workflow
The author uses a static folder structure (Johnny.Decimal) to organize work. They navigate to a specific folder using a custom `jd` command, launch `claude`, and instruct it to process a travel booking email into a calendar. Scripts and documentation are saved in that folder, and previous conversations are resumed via `/resume`. Human involvement is implied by the manual navigation and initial prompt, but not explicitly detailed.
Reported result
The source does not report any measured outcomes, success rates, or specific results from this workflow. It only describes the process as 'Done' after the instruction is given.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
The source does not state specific limitations, costs, or integration issues. It relies on a personal `jd` command-line tool and a specific folder naming convention. The reliability of the email-to-calendar automation is not verified in the text.
Try it
Act as a personal assistant agent. I have a folder structure using Johnny.Decimal numbering. My target folder for travel bookings is '21.15 tripsy'. 1. Navigate to the folder '21.15 tripsy'. 2. Check for a new email in my inbox regarding a travel booking. 3. Extract key details: date, location, confirmation number, and duration. 4. Draft a calendar event with these details. 5. Save the extraction script and the draft event in the current folder. 6. Present the draft to me for approval before creating the actual calendar entry. If no new email is found, report 'No new bookings'. If the email is ambiguous, ask for clarification. Do not create the calendar event without my explicit confirmation.
