An AI Chief of Staff system built on Claude Code, designed to automate personal operating tasks. It targets professionals seeking to enhance productivity by managing communications, preparing for meetings, nurturing relationships, and aligning daily activities with strategic goals, ultimately reducing administrative overhead and improving focus.

How It Works

This system operates as a personal AI operating system with four core pillars: Communicate (triage inbox, draft responses), Learn (automated briefings, meeting prep), Deepen Relationships (self-building personal CRM, staleness alerts), and Achieve Goals (filters decisions through defined objectives). It leverages MCP (Message, Calendar, People) servers for tool integration (e.g., Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack) and is customized via CLAUDE.md to reflect user context, voice, goals, and constraints. The design emphasizes an AI that actively challenges user priorities, promotes clarity over comprehensiveness, and benefits from compounding context for continuous improvement.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Prerequisites: Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated, Gmail MCP server, Google Calendar MCP server.
• Install/Run:
  1. git clone https://github.com/mimurchison/claude-chief-of-staff.git
  2. cd claude-chief-of-staff
  3. chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
  4. Execute claude and then type /gm to initiate the first morning briefing.
• Estimated Setup: First morning briefing achievable in under 15 minutes from cloning.
• Documentation: Detailed setup, MCP server installation, and customization guides are available within the docs/ directory.

Highlighted Details

• Morning Briefing (/gm): Provides a consolidated overview of calendar, tasks, urgent messages, and market signals before inbox processing.
• Inbox Triage (/triage): Scans connected communication channels, presenting a prioritized list with AI-generated draft responses.
• Task Management (/my-tasks): Facilitates task execution through AI-assisted drafting, research, and document preparation.
• Contact Enrichment (/enrich): Automatically builds and updates contact profiles, alerts on relationship staleness, and suggests conversation topics.
• Goal-Aligned Operations: Utilizes goals.yaml to filter all system actions, ensuring alignment with defined quarterly objectives and flagging calendar drift.

Maintenance & Community
