Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant Plugin

A highly configurable executive assistant for productivity workflow automation. Supports multiple email providers, project management tools, and note-taking apps with a personality system that adapts to your preferences.

Overview

This plugin helps you start each day with a clear picture of what needs your attention. It scans multiple communication channels, categorizes items by priority, extracts action items, and consolidates everything into your preferred note-taking app in an ADHD-friendly format.

readNote(path)            - Read note content
updateNote(path, content) - Update note
appendToSection(path, section, content) - Add to section

Safety and Privacy

Data Handling

• No Storage: Email/Slack/Jira data processed in-memory only
• No Cloud: Everything runs locally via Claude Code
• No Logging: Sensitive content not logged to files
• User Approval: All writes require confirmation

Safety Protocols

1. NEVER deletes emails, messages, or tickets without approval
2. NEVER sends responses automatically
3. NEVER updates Jira/Linear status without permission
4. ALWAYS shows changes before writing to notes
5. ALWAYS provides links to original sources

Authentication

• Gmail: MCP authentication
• Slack: MCP authentication
• Jira: Atlassian MCP authentication
• Linear: Linear MCP authentication
• Notion: Notion MCP authentication

ADHD-Friendly Design

This plugin is specifically designed for ADHD users:

Reduce Decision Fatigue

• Automatic categorization - system decides what's urgent
• Pre-organized tasks - everything sorted into sections
• Single entry point - just run /ea each morning

Visual Hierarchy

• Emojis for priority: 🔴 = urgent, 🟡 = important, 📋 = FYI
• Clear sections: URGENT, IMPORTANT, INBOX
• Summary numbers at a glance

Prevent Overwhelm

• Preview before writing
• Skip options for any source
• Configurable time windows

Support Focus

• Top 3 priorities prompt
• Clear next steps guidance
• Win celebration (if enabled)

Troubleshooting

Service Won't Connect

1. Check MCP server is running: claude mcp test <service>
2. Verify authentication is current
3. Try skipping the service: /ea --skip-<service>

Notes Not Updated

1. Verify notes provider is configured correctly
2. Check path permissions
3. Close note file if open in editor
4. Look for backup in Quick Captures

Command Not Found

1. Verify plugin is installed in ~/.claude/plugins/
2. Restart Claude Code to reload plugins
3. Check plugin.json exists in .claude-plugin/

Migration from daily-workflow

If you were using the previous daily-workflow plugin:

1. The /claudia and /daily-prep commands still work (aliases to /ea)
2. Run /init to generate a new user profile
3. Your previous .config.json settings should be migrated to .config.local.json
