Key points from the news
- Claude Code directly reads, rewrites, and saves files, removing the need for manual copy‑paste.
- It can execute scheduled tasks, but they stop if the computer is asleep.
- A paid Claude plan is required; the free version does not include Claude Code.
The author uses Claude Code for tasks such as listing folder contents, verifying spreadsheet totals, converting scanned documents, and checking website links. Reported limitations include tasks stopping when the computer sleeps, occasional miscounts (an 87‑item list reported as 99), and cases where the AI claims a file is saved but the file is empty. The author advises always verifying results and notes that the tool is unsuitable for users who are uncomfortable letting an AI touch their files directly.
Installation involves joining a paid plan, running a one‑line curl command, creating a work folder, and issuing a read‑only request to list the folder. Detailed screenshots and troubleshooting steps are provided in a separate article.
