Add travel bookings from email to calendar
The author runs Claude Code from a fixed folder with saved scripts to process new travel booking emails into their calendar.

What they did
The author keeps a numbered Johnny.Decimal folder tree, with one folder holding saved scripts and documentation for adding travel bookings to their calendar. They jump to it with a small command, `jd tripsy`, launch `claude` there, and tell it a new email has arrived. Earlier conversations can be picked up with `/resume`.
How it went
The source says the process works with that single prompt and calls it done, but it gives no numbers, error rates, or details of what the scripts do.
Worth knowing
The trick is a static, well-named folder per task, where Claude Code finds its saved scripts and docs each time, rather than any special tooling.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Open this folder: [path to your travel folder]. Search my email for new travel booking confirmations from [date range] (flights, hotels, rentals) and add each one to my calendar with the dates, times, confirmation number and address. Save the steps as a reusable script so I can rerun it later, and show me the list of events you plan to add before creating any of them.
