Three quick questions. No overthinking - just an honest read on whether this task belongs in Chat, a Project, Cowork, or Claude Code. Based on the Six Decisions framework.
Question 1 of 3
How often will you do this?
Just this once
A one-off question or task, not something you'll repeat.
A few times over the next few weeks
Recurring enough that re-explaining context every time gets old.
It's a recurring job I'd love off my plate
Something that should just happen without you doing it by hand.
Question 2 of 3
What do you actually want back?
A quick answer, right here in the chat
Nothing to save or refine - just tell me the thing.
A document or piece of content I'll keep refining
A draft, a piece of code, a chart - something you iterate on.
Multi-step action across my real tools and files
Reading and acting on your actual inbox, calendar, or folders.
Something that runs on its own, without me opening anything
A scheduled job or script that works in the background.
Question 3 of 3
How do you feel about a terminal or command line?
Not interested - I don't code and don't want to
You want results, not a new skill to learn.
Comfortable - I don't mind running commands
You've used a terminal before, or you're willing to.
