GTD Skill for Claude Code

I created a GTD skill suite for Claude Code to assist with my daily workflow. It has been a key task-smashing success.

The skill brings Getting Things Done into the Claude Code environment — file-based task management with Trello sync, CPORD scoring for prioritization, daily audits, weekly reviews, and morning briefings delivered via SES.

One of the most interesting patterns that emerged is the .claude/inbox/ handoff system — cross-project message passing inspired by Elixir GenServer mailboxes and Unix philosophy. Any session can write to another project's inbox, and the receiving session picks it up on start. Structured handoffs reduce orientation cost for the receiving session, whether that's another LLM or a human.

The OODA loop maps structurally to the .claude/ directory: inbox is Observe, memory is Orient, skills are Decide, tools are Act.

The suite includes four skills: gtd for daily processing, gtd-review for weekly reviews, gtd-setup for initial configuration, and gtd-morning-brief for the daily email briefing.

If you use Claude Code and want structured productivity coaching built into your workflow, clone the repo and try it.
