Researcher turns Claude into a lab assistant: slides, meeting plans, and taming a messy file system
alfcnz · x · 2026-11-13
A researcher shares how he directs Claude as a scientific assistant: having the bot edit slides from his feedback, plan an important meeting, add illustrations, organize results — and fix his "everything in the Downloads folder" archival system. He's now preparing a "programme" for the assistant to clean his entire file system and organize his digital media the way he does.
The linked GitHub repo learning-with-claude stores lessons Claude writes after each collaboration: what was done, in what order, with every command, its exact output, and what it means — so next time he can do it himself. Topics include CUPS printing on macOS, CGI, tailnet networking, XDG base directories, and Whisper dictation.
