Turning Claude Code into my personal chief of staff

I've been thinking for a while about running Claude code as a general purpose personal assistant agent that has a) memory about me b) access to my main working tools and c) it's own computer and subagents or sub systems do process things on it's own.

I've had these notes for a while, and have decided to publish them as a forcing mechanism to actually build this, and to crowdsource answers to some of my open design questions. I already built the MVP version of this for my CRM, but want to expand it to include all of the ideas below, and more.

Problems:

  • There are many tasks that I would like an assistant to help we with but they lack context, especially the precious context contained in my Obsidian vault that's not easy to reach from somewhere else than the computer

  • I love Claude Code but I can only reach it in my terminal - I would like to be able to access it assistant through Telegram or Whatsapp

  • There are a bunch of tasks I do often and have my own ways of doing, I want the assistant to remember this and to be able to improve over time at my suggestions

  • I would like to use voice inputs to create tasks, emails, drafts, calendar events etc. Ramble for a while and that queues up a number of things to execute and triages them accordingly.

Implementations ideas

  • I want to use Claude Code because it's so powerful, can use MCPs, can manage files and multi-modal input

  • I need to find a way to get an instance running with its own files in a place where it's always on for me to reach - hardest problem I'm facing for now.

  • Using sub-agents for specific tasks, but I'm not sure how to make the subagents to improve themselves. An alternative might be to create subfolders for each types of process and and a claude.md file detailing processes and how to approach in each folder

  • I want to make sure I'm not making this too complex to implement, and that I start with simple use cases and gradually improve in complexity.
