What It Does

Parent Helper is a single skill file that gives Claude deep context about your family so it can:

Weekly Briefing — Generate a full week-ahead report every Sunday: who's home, who's working, what's for dinner, what needs attention
Meal Planning — Plan meals matched to who's cooking, who's eating, dietary needs, and skill levels. Adjusts portions and recipes based on daily headcount
Multi-Store Grocery Bargain Hunter — Price-compare across your local stores (Walmart, Aldi, Publix, Whole Foods, etc.), find the cheapest option per item, and auto-load carts via browser automation
Custody Schedule Awareness — For blended families: reads irregular custody calendars, adjusts headcount, flags handoff logistics
Co-Parent Communication — Draft professional, logistics-focused emails for co-parent coordination
Family Dashboard — Maintain a Notion page as the family's single source of truth
Local Events Scout — Surface real events happening this week near your zip code — farmers markets, festivals, spring training, family-friendly activities — tagged by age-appropriateness and drive time
Weekly Chore System — Assign and track household chores, adjusted for custody days and work schedules. Custody-aware: child chores only on days they're home
Conflict Detection — Catch double-bookings, childcare gaps, and schedule collisions before they happen
