# Executive Brain Dump to Project Management Tracker and Website — Project Set

A Claude Code project that turns a raw brain dump into two polished outputs in one
pass: a structured project tracker and a matching project website. Scattered
thinking goes in, a clear plan and a shareable site come out.

> Note: The prompt below is a working starting point. Adjust the columns, the
> output formats, and the wording to match how you actually run it.

## What it does

1. **Capture** — You paste an unstructured brain dump: goals, tasks, dates, people, and half-formed ideas, in no particular order.
2. **Structure** — It extracts every distinct task and organizes it into a project tracker with workstreams, owners, due dates, priority, and status.
3. **Publish** — It generates a clean, single-page website that presents the plan in a shareable form.

## How to use it

1. Open the project in Claude Code, or start a new one in the folder where you want the files saved.
2. Paste the prompt below. Where it says to, paste the executive's raw brain dump.
3. Answer any clarifying questions it asks (usually the deadline or who owns what).
4. Let it run. It produces two files: a tracker you can open in a spreadsheet, and a single HTML file for the website.
5. Open the HTML file in a browser to preview the site. Open the tracker in your spreadsheet app.
6. Review anything it flagged as inferred (owners, dates), confirm or correct, and ask it to rerun or edit.

For more control, run it as a short chain instead of one prompt: parse and extract, then structure into the tracker, then generate the website, then polish and validate. One prompt per step, feeding each output into the next.

## The prompt

```
You are an executive operations partner. I am going to paste a raw brain dump
from an executive: goals, tasks, dates, people, and half-formed ideas, in no
particular order. Turn it into two deliverables.

First, build a structured project tracker. Pull out every distinct task or
deliverable and organize them into a table with these columns: Workstream, Task,
Owner, Due date, Priority (High, Medium, Low), and Status (Not started, In
progress, Done). Group tasks under clear workstreams. Where the brain dump
implies an owner or a date, infer it, and add a short note on anything you
inferred so I can confirm it. Save this as a file I can open in a spreadsheet.

Second, generate a single self-contained HTML file that presents the plan as a
clean project website: a short overview at the top, each workstream as its own
section, and the tasks shown as readable tables or cards with owners and due
dates visible. Keep it simple, professional, and readable on a phone. Put all
the CSS in the same file.

Before you start, ask me up to three clarifying questions, but only if something
essential is missing, such as the overall deadline or who the owners are.
Otherwise proceed, make reasonable assumptions, and list those assumptions at
the end.

Here is the brain dump:

## Outputs

- **Project tracker** — a spreadsheet file (CSV or XLSX) with workstreams, tasks, owners, due dates, priority, and status.
- **Project website** — a single self-contained HTML file you can open in a browser or upload anywhere.
