Overview
Productivity is Anthropic's plugin that gives Claude a to-do list and a memory of your workplace. Claude keeps your tasks in a TASKS.md file, learns your people, projects and shorthand in a CLAUDE.md file and a memory folder, and adds a local dashboard that shows the tasks as a board you can edit. With a project tracker connected, its update command offers new to-dos and flags stale ones; a deeper scan reads chat, email and calendar. It was built for Claude Cowork and also works in Claude Code; it suits office workers juggling many small commitments.
Your tasks and what Claude knows about your work stay in plain files in your own folder, so you can read and correct them yourself.

What you get
From the creator's documentation.
| Output | What it is | Reads |
|---|---|---|
| Task list | A TASKS.md file with Active, Waiting On, Someday and Done sections that you and Claude both edit | Your files |
| Workplace memory | People, projects and shorthand kept in CLAUDE.md and a memory folder | Your files |
| Dashboard | A local page that shows your tasks as a board with drag-and-drop, synced with the file | Your files |
| Triage | Flags tasks past their due date, open for 30 days or more, or missing context | Your files |
| Task sync | Offers to add tasks assigned to you in Asana, Linear, Jira and similar trackers | Connected tools |
| Comprehensive scan | Looks through connected chat, email, calendar and documents for missed to-dos and new people | Connected tools |
Good to know
Keep a running task list with Claude and teach it the names, projects and abbreviations you use at work. The task list, memory files and dashboard live in your working folder, and connected tools can feed new tasks into the list.
Limits
- It writes TASKS.md, CLAUDE.md, a memory folder and dashboard.html into the current folder, so start it in a folder meant for this. Syncing and the comprehensive scan only reach the tools you have connected and signed in to.
