A product manager shares how they use Claude Code as a central productivity hub by connecting it to Google Workspace, Linear, Slack, and Reddit via MCPs and custom skills. Key workflows include meeting prep, ticket creation from PRDs, status updates, and subreddit monitoring. A notable technique is a 'consult-the-council' skill that simultaneously gets reviews from Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok.

"I am a Claude Code maximalist. I try to live in it all day if I can."

@carlvellotti has gone deeper on Claude Code than any PM I know. In my new episode, he showed me how to connect Claude Code to:

→ Google Workspace: Prep for meetings
→ Linear: Create tickets from PRDs
→ Slack: Share status updates
→ Reddit: Monitor subreddit discussions

He does all of the above using skills and MCPs in his personal Claude Code OS.

Some quotes from Carl:

"Connecting Claude Code to the apps that you  use at work makes it way more powerful."

"Why would you need to go to all these websites if you can just get the info right here?"

"I use this consult-the-council skill to get Claude, ChatGPT, and Grok to all review my work in one shot."
