A developer's week-two experience building a personal management system with Claude Code, documenting 66 commits across 7 days. Starting with an explosion of 15 new commands on Tuesday — including /inbox for GTD-style processing, /delegate for Slack-based task delegation, and /covsync for meeting notes — the author ends the week by deleting three commands that tried to do too much. The key insight: commands that survived do one specific thing repeated often, while those that died tried to codify complex workflows better handled as conversations. The post closes with practical advice to build commands for today's actual work, not hypothetical future needs.
