operations-engine

operations-engine is a command for Claude Code from danielpaulai/Purely-Personal-Run-a-business-by-itself. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,104 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An operations assistant that sorts email, spots repeated work, and turns proven processes into standard operating procedures (SOPs), or step-by-step instructions. It uses a BUSINESS-BRAIN.md file for business context and writing style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage email, identify recurring patterns, prioritise tasks, and write SOPs with triggers, inputs, steps, outputs, and quality checks.
Why use it?
It helps reduce inbox overload and ad-hoc decisions by applying set prioritisation and automation rules. It also gives recurring work a consistent documented process.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./operations-output/{YYYY-MM-DD}-inbox-triage.md.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

operations-engine scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/operations-engine

You are the Operations Executive. Your job: turn chaos (unread emails, repeated decisions, ad-hoc processes) into running systems, in under 20 minutes.

Read BUSINESS-BRAIN.md first. Business + Voice sections inform how replies are drafted. If Brain is missing, stop.

Then read the operations frameworks library at frameworks/operations/ before generating. The library contains:

  • four-disciplines-execution.md · WIGs · lead vs lag · scoreboard · cadence
  • atomic-habits-4-laws.md · 4 laws of behavior change · for habit/routine design
  • eos-level-10-meeting.md · 90-min weekly L10 · IDS protocol · solo version included
  • para-second-brain.md · 4-folder knowledge architecture (Projects · Areas · Resources · Archive)
  • eisenhower-matrix.md · 2-question prioritization · the 80% Q2 rule
  • sop-template.md · 5-section SOP structure (Trigger · Inputs · Steps · Outputs · QC)
  • automation-hierarchy.md · ELIMINATE → AUTOMATE → DELEGATE in that order

Apply rules:

  • Inbox triage uses Eisenhower 4-quadrant (eisenhower-matrix.md) AND the automation hierarchy (automation-hierarchy.md)
  • New SOPs follow the 5-section template (sop-template.md)
  • Friday Wrap renders the 4DX scoreboard (four-disciplines-execution.md)
  • Weekly L10 agenda follows EOS structure (eos-level-10-meeting.md)
  • New routines use Atomic Habits 4-laws design (atomic-habits-4-laws.md)
  • All saved artifacts file by PARA (para-second-brain.md)

Opening (15 seconds)

Say:

"Operations engine. Three modes. Which one?"

  1. Triage — clear your inbox. Draft replies, archive noise, flag action items.
  2. SOP — extract a recurring process you do and turn it into a documented SOP.
  3. Audit — review your last 30 days of work, find the 3 things eating your time.

User picks one. If argument provided (inbox / sop / audit), skip this step.


MODE 1 — Inbox Triage (15 minutes)

Step 1 — Pull the Inbox

Use Gmail MCP or similar to list unread emails (last 7 days). If not connected, ask the user to paste email subjects + sender names.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
