Free swipe file ยท The Household CEO Dashboard
Run your house off one dashboard that rebuilds itself every week.
Every Sunday, Claude reads your calendars, your kids' school email, the weather and your flight confirmations, then hands you a single tabbed page for the week ahead. Dinners are already planned. The suitcase list is already written. You set it up once and it runs on a schedule after that.
What you get
Seven tabs and an alerts strip
One self-contained file, built fresh with real data from your own accounts. Delete any tab you do not want.
The alerts strip up top: travel, holidays, bills due, weather warnings, school events.
Age-appropriate milestones per child, plus anything actionable from school, daycare or church email.
Monday to Sunday, all your calendars merged and color-coded by who owns the event.
Dinners for the week with a grocery list grouped by aisle, rotated so you never repeat last week.
Trips pulled from the calendar and flight confirmations, with a packing list and a solo-parent card.
The next 60 days of birthdays and holidays, with gift ideas and early lead-time flags.
A 12-month maintenance grid with the current month starred and a seasonal focus list.
A three-sentence summary sent to your email or Slack before Monday starts.
Setup, step 1
Connect your accounts
Open the connectors menu in Claude and turn these on. Each one logs in through the service itself, so you are granting read access to your own accounts, not handing over passwords.
Google Calendar, required
The backbone of the whole thing. Connect the Google account that holds your personal calendar.
Gmail, required
Used to find flight confirmations and school, daycare and church email.
Shared and family calendars
If your partner's calendar or a shared "Family" calendar lives on another account, share it into the account you just connected. Google Calendar, Settings, Share with specific people. It will then show up in the same connector.
Slack, optional
Only if you want the weekly summary posted to a channel. Connect the workspace and note the channel name.
If a connector you need is missing, ask Claude what connectors are available for calendar, email or Slack and it will point you to the registry.
Setup, step 2
Route your kid email so it can be found
The dashboard can only surface an early dismissal or a form due if Claude can reliably find the message. Pick one of these two. The label is more reliable.
Option A, a Gmail label and filter, recommended
Create a label like Family/Kids. Then in the Gmail search bar, open Show search options, enter the sender (for example from:@yourschool.org), hit Create filter, and apply the label. Repeat for daycare and church.
Option B, just list the senders
Skip the labels and gather the addresses instead. Claude will search Gmail for recent messages from those senders on every run.
Common senders worth checking for: school platforms like ParentSquare and Brightwheel, daycare apps like Tadpoles and HiMama, and church tools like Planning Center, Flocknote and Breeze. Write down the exact domains before you build, because you will paste them into the prompt.
Setup, step 3
Pick where the weekly heads-up lands
Decide now, then say so in the prompt. Three options.
Claude writes a summary to the addresses you list. Some Gmail connectors can only create a draft, so you may tap Send yourself. Ask Claude to confirm which yours does.
Posted to a channel like #family-ops, or sent to you as a DM.
Email digest and Slack post. Useful if your partner lives in one and you live in the other.
The prompt
Fill in the brackets and paste it in
Replace every bracketed blank with your own details and delete any tab you do not want. The more specific you get with calendar names, birthdays and who travels, the better the first run looks. Save this text somewhere, because it is also what you hand Claude when you schedule the weekly task.
Build my family's "Household CEO Dashboard" for the upcoming week (Monday through Sunday). Output it as a single self-contained HTML file named YYYY-MM-DD-household-dashboard.html using the upcoming Monday's date. Deliver the file to me in this session. DESIGN Make it a clean, modern, tabbed dashboard. Color scheme: [PICK 3 TO 4 COLORS, e.g. teal, warm yellow, navy, white]. Include a horizontal ALERTS STRIP at the top with 4 to 5 colored chips showing the week's most important heads-ups (travel, holidays, bill due dates, weather warnings, school events). Below the alerts, a row of tabs. Everything in one HTML file with inline CSS and JS, no external files, no browser localStorage. TABS TO INCLUDE Overview, Kids, Calendar, Food, Travel, Dates and Gifts, Home Ops. (Delete any you do not want.) DATA TO PULL FRESH EACH RUN 1. CALENDAR. Pull the next 7 days from these calendars: - My primary calendar: [YOUR EMAIL] - My partner's calendar: [PARTNER EMAIL or "n/a"] - Shared family calendar: [FAMILY CALENDAR NAME or "n/a"] Merge into a Monday to Sunday day-by-day view. Color-code events: [COLOR A] = me, [COLOR B] = partner, [COLOR C] = family and home. Treat me as the traveler on any event I organized, even if my partner is invited. Summarize routine recurring blocks rather than listing every one. 2. KIDS AND SCHOOL EMAIL. For each child, calculate current age from their birthdate and give age-appropriate developmental milestones and watch-fors: - [CHILD 1 NAME], born [DATE] (for babies under about 2, include the current Wonder Weeks leap based on age in weeks) - [CHILD 2 NAME], born [DATE] Then search Gmail for recent messages (last 10 days) from our school, daycare and church and surface anything actionable: early dismissals, closures, forms due, events, tuition or payment notices. Email sources: [KID EMAIL SOURCES, list sender addresses and domains, or the Gmail label you route them to]. 3. WEATHER. Fetch a 7-day forecast for [CITY, STATE] (lat [LAT], lon [LON]). Try forecast.weather.gov first. If it is unreachable during an automated run, fall back to a clearly labeled seasonal outlook or a web-search forecast rather than failing. 4. TRAVEL. Scan the calendar for any trips next week. If a trip is found, read the event details and search Gmail for the flight or hotel confirmation to determine destination and times. Build a packing list based on destination weather and trip type. If only one parent is traveling, include a "Solo-Parent Week" card for the parent staying home. If both travel together or nobody travels, say so and skip the solo card. 5. GROCERY AND MEALS. Propose [NUMBER, e.g. 8] dinners with a [DIETARY FOCUS, e.g. protein and fiber] focus, plus kid-friendly options and quick batch-prep ideas. Rotate the meals week to week and do not repeat the prior week's list. Adjust the grocery list for any upcoming holidays or travel. Group the grocery list by section: proteins, produce, pantry and grains, dairy, kids. 6. DATES AND GIFTS. Show the next 60 days of holidays, birthdays and key family dates, with gift suggestions where relevant. Key recurring dates to always track: [LIST BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES, e.g. "Mom's birthday June 3, our anniversary Sept 12"]. Flag anything just past 60 days that needs early lead time, like venues or custom orders. 7. HOME OPS. Include a full 12-month home-maintenance grid. Highlight the CURRENT month's card with a border and a star, and add a short "[Current Month] Focus" section tailored to the season and our home. For example, May is pool open plus Mother's Day prep, August is AC filters plus back to school, October is gutters plus winterize. NOTIFICATION After building, [NOTIFICATION METHOD, choose one: "email a 3-sentence summary of the week's most important heads-ups to [EMAILS]" / "post the summary to Slack channel [#CHANNEL]" / "do both"]. Keep the summary to the 3 to 5 things I would actually want to know before Monday. HOUSEHOLD CONTEXT (so you get names and tone right) Family: [WHO IS IN THE HOUSE, names and ages]. Location: [CITY]. Any regular help: [nanny, cleaner, etc. with names and schedule]. Anything else recurring I should always account for: [e.g. "kids at Dad's every other weekend"].
Fill in every bracket before you paste. A blank one is where the first run goes sideways.
Setup, step 4
Put it on a schedule
Once the first build looks right, tell Claude to make it recurring.
Set this up as a scheduled task that runs every Sunday at 5:00 PM my time. Each week, rebuild the dashboard with fresh data and send me the notification. If the live weather feed is not reachable during an unattended run, fall back to a clearly labeled seasonal outlook or a search-based forecast instead of failing the run.
Two things to know about scheduled runs
Scheduled runs happen in the cloud with no access to your computer, so the file arrives in the session and through your email or Slack rather than saving to a local folder. If you want it written to a folder on your machine, set it up as a local scheduled task instead.
Before your first run
The checklist
Eight lines. Tick them off and you are ready.
[ ] Google Calendar connected, partner and family calendars shared into that account [ ] Gmail connected [ ] School, daycare and church email labeled, or their senders written down [ ] Notification method chosen, with target addresses or channel ready [ ] Every [BRACKET] in the prompt filled in [ ] Kids' birthdates and key family dates entered [ ] City plus lat and lon for weather entered (search "[your city] latitude longitude") [ ] Ran it once successfully, then scheduled the weekly task
