Outcome

What the prompt labels mean

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to.

Goal: Find the nearest office for my appointment, book a slot, and set up reminders for what to bring.

Fill in before running:
- What I need (for example passport renewal) and my country: [SERVICE]
- My home address: [ADDRESS]
- Dates and times I can do: [AVAILABILITY]

Rules:
- Use the official booking site only.
- Compare travel distance or time to each office and tell me which is closest.
- Show me the slot before booking it.
- After booking, list what to bring and do beforehand, based on the official requirements, and add reminders for each item.
- If a site asks me to sign in, pause and let me do it myself (including any CAPTCHA or two-step code); never guess or store passwords.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.

Output: A booking confirmation, a checklist, and reminders set in my reminders app.

You'll know it worked when: the appointment is booked at the nearest office and I have reminders for everything I need.

  • Catch a passport-validity problem five days before a Europe trip by asking Claude what else to do pre-tripEvidence: Described by posterBeginner-friendly

    Sarah Silbert was using Claude to choose checked luggage for a trip to Germany and asked, almost as an afterthought, what else needed doing before the trip. Among the obvious items, Claude said to check the passport had three months of validity past the return date. It didn't: it expired about two months after the return flight, one month short, five days before departure. Inside the 14-day window for an urgent passport agency appointment, Silbert got a slot the next day, paid the $60 expedite fee and picked up a new passport the following day, using the State Department website as the official source.

    Before a call with their wife's neuroendocrinologist, a poster gave Claude their clinical context and asked for a structured appointment prep. They say it organised questions into three tiers (what changes next steps, understanding the mechanism, and forward-looking), each with a note on why they're asking, so they could triage if time ran short. They shared a reusable template and say the goal is to be prepared, not to replace the doctor.
