Auto-Timesheet
Stop reconstructing your day from memory at 11pm
Passive time tracking that actually works. Your Claw monitors file edits, emails, calendar events, and messages throughout the day — then generates draft time entries with matter codes and billing narratives. Review, tweak, and export. No more lost billable hours.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Auto-Timesheet" for a lawyer. Monitor my file system activity (opens, saves, edits with timestamps), email send/receive activity, calendar events, and Slack/Telegram messages throughout the day. Map each activity to client matters using client names, matter numbers, and project keywords I'll provide. At the end of each day, generate a draft timesheet with time entries in 0.1-hour (6-minute) increments, including matter codes and professional billing narrative descriptions. Flag any gaps longer than 30 minutes with no tracked activity. Let me review and adjust before exporting in CSV format. Start by asking me for my active matter list with codes and keywords.
How It Works
This skill runs quietly in the background, watching your work activity
across files, email, calendar, and messaging. At the end of the day (or
on demand), it generates a draft timesheet with matter codes and narrative
descriptions ready for your review.
What You Get
- Passive monitoring of file opens/saves, emails sent/received, calendar events, and Slack/Telegram messages
- Auto-mapping of activity to matters by matching client names, matter numbers, and project keywords
- Draft billing narratives written in professional, client-facing language
- Gap detection ("You had a 45-minute block with no tracked activity at 2pm")
- Export in CSV or LEDES format for your billing system
Setup Steps
- Tell your Claw your active matters and their codes
- Connect email, calendar, and messaging integrations
- Let it run — it watches activity passively
- At end of day, ask for your draft timesheet
- Review, adjust, and export
Tips
- Best paired with the Billing Narrative Writer for polished descriptions
- Add matter keywords as you open new cases so the Claw can map activity correctly
- Review the gap report — those "lost" blocks are often phone calls you forgot to log
- Works even better over time as it learns your matter patterns
