Build your AI Chief of Staff in a week.
One email per day, for seven days. By next Friday you'll have a working AI Chief of Staff — installed, running your daily and weekly rituals, connected to the tools you actually use, and shaped to how you actually work. Built on the free open-source framework. Designed for founder-operators using Claude Code.
Install
Drop the folder. Point Claude Code at it. Have your first conversation. End of day: Claude knows who you are.
Your first commands
/day, /week, /debrief — what each one does and when to run them. You'll execute your first /day ritual and see Claude pull in real context.
The weekly report
Run /week on Friday. See what Claude noticed across your week — what you said you'd do, what you actually did. Your first real "this is different from ChatGPT" moment.
Make it stick
How to actually use it daily without it becoming another tool you abandon. What to do when you skip days. How to recover momentum.
Connect your tools
Add Notion, Google Calendar, Slack, Gmail via MCP. Claude reads from them automatically and uses them as live context for every conversation.
Make it yours
Edit slash commands. Add your own. Tune Claude to your voice, your workflow, your business. This is the day it stops being "the framework" and starts being yours.
Bring in your team
What Layer 2 looks like — shared context, team scorecards, rollout to others. Optional next step if a solo Chief of Staff isn't where you want to stop.
A working AI Chief of Staff. Yours.
- Claude Code installed with your Chief of Staff folder loaded
- Your daily and weekly rituals running
- 2–3 of your most-used tools connected via MCP
- Custom slash commands tuned to your business
- A working sense of when to use it (and when not to)
- Clarity on whether to stay solo or roll out to your team
Day 1 lands the moment you confirm.
Drop your email and confirm the welcome. Day 1 sends right after. The next six arrive daily.
