TARS Work Assistant

TARS turns Claude into a persistent, context-aware executive assistant for knowledge workers. Most Claude skills are coding or engineering flavored — TARS is the first serious one built for the rest of your job: the meetings, the people, the decisions, the quarterly goals, the Slack threads you forgot to follow up on. Installed as a Claude Code skill (and compatible with Claude Cowork), TARS gives Claude a durable memory of your organization. It tracks people (who they are, what they own, how you know them), projects (scope, status, blockers, stakeholders), decisions (what was chosen, why, by whom), and commitments (what you promised to do, by when). When you start a new Claude session, TARS hydrates this context automatically — Claude does not ask you who Priya is every time you bring her up. The meeting workflow is the killer feature. Drop a transcript and TARS will extract action items, decisions, and follow-ups, attach them to the right people and projects in your knowledge graph, and queue the follow-up drafts. Ask it "what did we decide about Q3 hiring?" and it will surface the exact meeting, the quote, and who disagreed. Ask it "what have I not followed up on this week?" and it will show you. Author ajayjohn built TARS around a file-based knowledge store that lives in your repo — so your personal work context is yours, portable, and diffable in Git. The skill is lightweight (a single Claude Code skill file plus a small directory for memory), easy to fork, and tuned for the way executives and team leads actually think about their week. If you already use Claude Code for coding, adding TARS extends the same assistant into the rest of your operating system. It is the most cleanly designed knowledge-worker skill we have reviewed in 2026.
