Hey everyone!
I recently subscribed to Claude, but I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do.
Right now, I mainly use it to organize my weekly work tasks, manage my personal finances, and I've even built a bot to search for job opportunities.
However, I'd love to explore more of its capabilities, especially skills, automations, integrations, and workflows that could make my daily life easier, both professionally and personally.
What are your must-have Claude skills? Have you built any interesting automations or projects that you actually use regularly?
I'm looking for recommendations, GitHub repositories, useful MCP servers, or anything that could help me get the most out of my subscription.
I'd love to hear how you guys are using Claude beyond basic chatting!
