A free install for Claude Code. Not a course.
You don't need another productivity app. You need a system that picks your work for you.
It is a free installer for Claude Code. Answer a 12-minute interview, and every morning it hands you a ranked list of 16-minute moves. You run one. That is the floor. Everything past it is bonus.
Free and open source. MIT-licensed. Lives in your workspace, nothing routes through a server.

You already know the loop.
Your calendar fills with everyone else's priorities. The work that compounds keeps sliding to later. You do not need motivation. You need a verb, and on the days you are fried, you need something to decide for you.
Meeting density eats the hours you meant to think in.
The important-but-not-urgent work never gets its turn.
By 4pm you are too tired to choose, so you default to the inbox.
Here is how it works.
Drop your email
I send the install link and the 30-day test. No login, no course, no hoops to get the thing.
Paste it into Claude Code
Answer a 12-minute interview about your real week. It writes a personal operating system into your workspace.
Run one block a day
Each morning, type /1000seconds and put 16 minutes and 40 seconds on the top item. That is the whole job.
What's inside the install.
Not tips. A daily engine plus five protocols, written into your workspace as plain files you own.
The Daily Punchlist
Wake up to a ranked list of your 16-minute moves, read from your calendar, messages, and meeting notes across three pillars: Physical, Mental, Emotional.
The Daily 1000
One 16:40 block on the single highest-leverage thing. The floor is one a day. Anything past it is bonus.
The Leverage Matrix
A weekly 2x2 that kills about 60 percent of your backlog the first time you run it.
The Agent Brief
A 5-part template for handing work to an AI that turns 6/10 output into 8.5/10 output.
The Weekly Kill List
A Friday log of what you stopped doing, and why. Your taste, on paper, building week over week.
The Public Commitment Slot
One witnessed commitment a week. The research puts follow-through 15 to 25 points higher.
Who it is for.
Built for
- Director-to-VP operators in product, engineering, or ops
- AI-fluent, already performing, allergic to hustle content
- People with great tools and no system holding them together
Not for
- Anyone hunting for motivation or streaks
- People who want one more dashboard to check
- Anyone not using Claude Code, it is required to run the install
I built this for operators like me. Great tools, no system holding them together. It is the exact thing I run every morning, and it is free because the install is the point, not a funnel to a course.

The deal is simple.
The installer is free and MIT-licensed. It lives in your workspace as plain files you own. The only thing you hand me is your email, so I can send the link and the occasional sharp update. Leave the list any time.
Give it 30 days. Then grade yourself.
Thirty days of one 16-minute block. Four Friday reviews. Then score it honestly. If it is not earning its place, you delete a folder. That is the entire risk.
