📋
Scenario
I have many blog drafts scattered in a folder and want to know which are published and which are closest to completion.
💬
Prompt
Look at my drafts that were started within the last three months and then check that I didn't publish them on simonwillison.net using a search against content on that site and then suggest the ones that are most close to being ready
✨
Expected Result
Claude executed a `find` command to identify 46 draft files, ran 44 site searches to confirm publication status, and identified 3 unpublished drafts closest to completion.
💡
Tips
- • Give Claude access to the specific folder containing drafts
- • Specify a time range to limit the search scope
- • Ask to sort by completion level
