Two weeks ago I started daily-driving a personal assistant I've been building on Claude Cowork. The whole system runs on Claude Cowork, with Google Workspace (email, calendar, Drive, Chat) and Notion (tasks, projects, GTD) as the surrounding data layer. I upgraded to Claude Max 20x ($200/month) once the architecture outgrew the lower tier — the system now runs 15 scheduled background tasks around the clock, plus the interactive sessions I have through the day. The agent is active 6–7 hours every day. Roughly 2–3 of those hours are development — debugging, iterating on skills, refactoring prompts, reviewing audit outputs. The other 4–5 hours are real work: inbox triage, draft reviews, research delegations, decision support, report generation, meeting prep. What it is now: - A persistent, file-based memory system with ~200 curated markdown entries, indexed by semantic topic — not a vector DB - 11 specialized sub-agents (legal, finance, research, sales, operations, real estate, etc.) with a delegation matrix - A development constitution: a versioned governance doc for how the system evolves — which structural changes it can make autonomously vs. which require my approval - A distributed architecture: always-on background sentinel (inbox scans, health checks, nightly closeouts, conflict scanning) + interactive node - A self-improvement loop that audits instruction files, researches new techniques, proposes a change plan, waits for approval, implements The agent lives inside a Dropbox folder — not as a UI feature, as its actual substrate. Everything is organized first by project, then by artifact type. When a new project starts, the agent spins up the folder skeleton. When a project closes, it moves to cold storage. On one side, multiple inboxes: my work email + a dedicated shadow email for the agent itself, Google Chat, a Notion GTD inbox, a file dropzone, a daily working folder, a general triage inbox, and — the one I haven't seen anyone talk about — my Downloads folder on every computer I use is redirected straight into the agent's inbox folder.
2 周打造高管级「参谋长」AI：15 个后台任务 + 11 个专属子代理，跑在 Cowork 上
一位中型公司高管把 Claude Cowork 当作参谋长系统：15 个后台任务 24 小时轮班，11 个按职能划分（法务/财务/研究/销售/运营/地产…）的子代理按「委派矩阵」接单，约 200 条 Markdown 记忆散布在 Dropbox 项目目录里（不是向量数据库），还附带一份「自我演进宪法」——哪些结构性调整 AI 可自行执行、哪些必须人类批准。每台电脑的 Downloads 文件夹直接重定向成 AI 的收件箱。系统每天活跃 6-7 小时，其中 4-5 小时是真实工作，整套搭建只用了 2 周
Executive at a mid-sized company; daily-drives a personal chief-of-staff built on Claude Cowork
使用场景
作者是一家中型公司的高管。试过的商用 AI 助手都「断片」——每次对话重新从零解释上下文。他想要一个更接近真实参谋长的东西：有记忆、有立场、懂他在做什么，而不是又一个问答机器人。于是他用两周时间在 Claude Cowork 上搭了整套系统：Google Workspace + Notion 做数据层，Dropbox 做文件底座，15 个计划任务 24 小时轮班，11 个子代理分工处理，自我改进循环负责升级系统本身。
提示词
Act as my chief of staff in Claude Cowork. Load the development constitution at /agent/constitution.md and the active project index at /projects/_index.md. Every morning, scan all inboxes (work email, shadow email, Google Chat, Notion GTD inbox, shared file dropzone, Downloads folder) and produce a triage brief: urgent decisions needed, drafts awaiting my review, new items routed to each sub-agent (legal, finance, research, sales, operations, real estate). For each active project, report status, blockers, and the next human-in-loop step. End with conflict scans across calendar and commitments. Delegate execution to the sub-agent whose domain matches; escalate only decisions the constitution marks as requiring my approval.
预期结果
作者在 Cowork 上稳定跑通了一套「人类高管 + AI 幕僚」的协同架构： - **15 个后台任务轮班**：收件箱巡查、健康检查、夜间收工、日程冲突扫描 - **11 个专属子代理**：法务、财务、研究、销售、运营、地产等，按委派矩阵派单 - **约 200 条 Markdown 记忆**：按语义主题索引，不依赖向量数据库 - **Dropbox 作为底座**：不是 UI 功能，而是系统本体——每个项目一个文件夹，结束后归档到冷存 - **Downloads 重定向**：每台电脑的 Downloads 都直接进入 AI 的收件箱 - **开发宪法**：版本化文档规定哪些结构调整 AI 可自行推进、哪些必须人类批准 - **自我改进循环**：审阅说明文件、研究新技巧、提议改动方案、等待批准、执行 **效果：** 系统每日活跃 6-7 小时。其中 2-3 小时仍是开发/调试，但 4-5 小时已经是真实输出：收件箱分类、草稿复核、研究委托、决策支持、报告生成、会议准备。作者预计未来「开发/实战」比例会持续向实战倾斜，现阶段的 30-40% 维护开销他认为值得。整个搭建用了 2 周、Claude Max 20x 订阅。
