Evidence: Screenshots or logsThe source shows screenshots, a transcript or the agent's output.

Outcome

From one instruction, the agent found the BoardGameGeek IDs of the three ordered games, called Claude in Chrome twice and wrote a board game note (with title and description) for each; the screenshot doesn't show the games being added to the BoardGameGeek account.

Goal: Create notes for the board games I ordered and add them to my BoardGameGeek collection.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Order link or confirmation
- Notes app or template to use
- BoardGameGeek account (I'll log in)
- Collection status to use (Owned, Preordered)

Rules:
- Read the exact game titles and editions from the order.
- Find each game's correct BoardGameGeek entry by year and publisher; avoid expansions unless ordered.
- Create a note per game with title, players, play time, BGG link and order date.
- Add each to my BGG collection with the status I chose.
- Match each game by exact title, edition and year.
- Ask if several editions match.
- Log each game in my notes with price and date.
- Show me the list before adding to BGG.
- Don't change existing BGG entries.

Checkpoint: Show me the matched BGG entries before adding.

If you get stuck: If a title matches several BGG entries, ask me. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Check my BGG collection shows each game once.

Output: Notes created and BGG links.

Done when: every ordered game has a note and is in my BGG collection.

  • Log spending by chatting and keep a budget workbook updated with a Claude ProjectRecreated promptEvidence: Article or interview

    Budgeting apps never stuck for Mahnoor Faisal, so they had Claude build a full Excel workbook (transactions, live dashboard, monthly budget, savings goals, recurring bills, net worth) and set up a Claude Project with the template and instructions. Now they type things like the date and 'bought matcha, spent on commute', and Claude categorizes each transaction, asks when unsure (café or store?), updates the spreadsheet and returns the file, from phone or laptop. Faisal says it has done more for their spending than any budgeting app.

  • Track 186 applications, find missing keywords and review interview notes with Claude to land an offerEvidence: Article or interview

    Margareth Felicia Gono, an international student who needed a visa, started job hunting scattershot. Gono built an application tracker with Claude, had it pull the main skills and keywords from each job description and compare them with the résumé, and used it as a career coach, which led to three résumés for analytics, sales and marketing, and consulting. Where interviewers allowed recording, Gono ran sentiment analysis on the notes to see where Gono hesitated or used filler words. The tracker showed 186 applications, 44 cold outreaches, 19 interviews, six take-home assignments, three final rounds and one offer, as a senior associate at DoorDash.

  • Find a year of forgotten FSA-eligible purchases across three retailers and file 15 claims with an AI agent in CursorRecreated promptEvidence: Described by poster

    Ramesh Raman dislikes filing reimbursements, so they pulled 12 months of receipts from three retailer accounts and had an LLM classify every item as FSA-eligible or not. They checked the ones it got wrong themselves until every eligible item had a PDF receipt, then pointed Cursor at their reimbursement portal to file the claims. From 600 transactions it submitted 15 claims worth $242.87, pausing for approval before every upload; they reviewed everything at the end. The first upload took about 2 minutes and the last under 30 seconds. It took about an hour, for a chore they'd put off for months, and mostly recovered small forgotten buys like Tylenol.
