Knowledge Work: Productivity

A task list and a memory of your people and projects that Claude keeps up to date.

What is it?

Anthropic's official productivity plugin gives Claude two things it normally lacks: a task list it reads and updates (TASKS.md), and a memory of your shorthand, people, projects and terms. Say "ask Todd for the Oracle report" and it knows who and what you mean.

/start sets everything up and opens a local dashboard of your tasks. /update triages stale items, and /update --comprehensive scans your email, calendar and chat for to-dos you missed.

Install in Claude Code

In Claude Cowork, open the plugin directory on claude.com and add Productivity. In Claude Code run /plugin marketplace add anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins, then /plugin install productivity@knowledge-work-plugins. Connect your calendar, email, Slack and task tool (Asana, Linear, Notion, Monday or ClickUp) when it asks; without them it still works, you just paste the context in yourself.

Paste into Claude Code
I need to send Sarah the budget by Friday, book the team offsite after I talk to Greg, and chase the printer quote. Add these to my tasks.
