Prompt Kit: Claude Dispatch and Computer Use — The Work That Actually Leaves Your Desk

This kit helps you identify the specific tasks, commitments, and decisions you're currently carrying that can be fully delegated to Claude's new asynchronous agent stack — Dispatch, cloud scheduled tasks, and computer use. Instead of pointing these tools at simulated work (summaries, triage, briefings that just add to your pile), these prompts force you to find the open loops that actually close when the agent finishes.

How to use this kit

Start with Prompt 1. It audits what you're actually carrying right now — the commitments, decisions, patterns, and backlog guilt consuming your cognitive background processes — and separates real delegation candidates from simulated work. The output is your personal roadmap for everything that follows.

Then use Prompts 2–4 based on what you found. Each one takes a specific task from your audit and produces a ready-to-use delegation brief:

Prompt 2 turns any one-off task into a Dispatch delegation you can send from your phone
Prompt 3 designs a recurring scheduled automation for tasks that repeat on a cadence
Prompt 4 builds a decision research brief that gathers breadth (not confirmation) for a specific decision you're facing

Run all prompts in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. Prompt 1 is the one to spend the most time with — the quality of your answers determines whether the other three produce real value or just impressive-looking busywork.

Prompt 1: The Open Loop Audit

Job: Inventories everything you're carrying — commitments, pending decisions, patterns you're tracking, backlog items — and identifies which ones can be fully delegated to an async agent vs. which ones are "simulated work" that would just add to your pile.

When to use: Before setting up any automation. This is the diagnostic that prevents you from wasting Dispatch on triage reports nobody reads.

What you'll get: A categorized, prioritized list of your actual open loops with a clear verdict on each: delegate fully, delegate partially (with what human judgment is needed), or keep (this requires your taste/judgment throughout).

What the AI will ask you: Your role, what's on your plate right now, commitments you've made to others, decisions you're facing, things you're tracking across weeks, recurring tasks that eat your time, and the legacy tools or apps you use that don't integrate with anything.

Prompt 2: The Dispatch Delegation Brief

Job: Takes a specific task you want to hand off and produces a clear, well-specified delegation brief you can paste directly into Dispatch from your phone — written with enough clarity of intent that an unsupervised agent can produce the right result.

When to use: When you've identified a one-off task (from your audit or your own judgment) that you want to delegate via Dispatch while you walk away from your desk.

What you'll get: A ready-to-send delegation prompt with success criteria, explicit constraints, and a definition of "done" — plus a pre-flight checklist of what needs to be true on your desktop before you walk away.

What the AI will ask you: What the task is, what "done" looks like, what files or apps are involved, what your standards are for quality, and what the agent should do if it gets stuck.

Prompt 3: The Recurring Task Automator

Job: Takes a task you do repeatedly (daily, weekly, monthly) and designs a cloud scheduled task — the prompt, the schedule, the required connectors, and the monitoring criteria — so it runs automatically without your machine being on.

When to use: When you've identified recurring work that eats your time on a predictable cadence: morning briefings, report pulls, repo maintenance, deadline monitoring, price checks, backlog grooming, documentation syncs.

What you'll get: A ready-to-configure scheduled task specification including the natural language prompt (the "program"), optimal schedule, required MCP connectors, what to monitor, and a test plan to validate it's working before you trust it.

What the AI will ask you: What the recurring task is, how often it needs to run, what tools/data sources it touches, what the output should be and where it should go, and how you'll know if it broke.

Prompt 4: The Decision Intelligence Brief

Job: Takes a specific decision you're facing and designs an overnight research delegation that gathers breadth of information — including disconfirming evidence — so you walk into the meeting with 70% of available information instead of the usual 30%.

When to use: Before any consequential decision: vendor evaluation, hire/no-hire, market entry, product kill, budget allocation, partnership, pricing change. The night before the meeting, the board conversation, or the deadline.

What you'll get: A delegation brief specifically designed to resist confirmation bias — it instructs the agent to look for information that supports AND contradicts your current leaning, plus a structured output format that makes the decision easier, not just more informed.

What the AI will ask you: What decision you're facing, what you currently believe (and why), what information you wish you had, what sources are available, and when you need the answer by.
