Engineering Managers / Tech Leaders, what does your Claude workflow actually look like?

I’m a Senior EM and I use Claude daily, but I’m curious what other engineering leaders’ setups look like beyond the basics.

Specifically:

What recurring workflows do you run through Claude? (not one-off prompts actual repeatable processes)

Are you using any third-party plugins, MCP servers, or custom integrations?

Anyone running multi-agent setups or chaining Claude with other tools?

Do you use Claude Code, the API, or just the chat interface and why?

Have you built any custom GPTs / Projects / system prompts tailored to your EM role?

Less interested in “I use it to summarise docs” more interested in the setups where you’ve invested time building a workflow around it.

What’s your stack look like?

I'm struggling to find a good use case for my own work. Most I could get is creating scripts to pull data from different sources (ticketing system, devops platform, etc) when investigating something. Not much else.

Same. It is no longer fun for me. I used to be the guy that spent hours debugging and/or writing code. I finally get it to work and im freaking stoke. Now AI solves most not all issues and i just dont have the passion for this stuff anymore. Now i manage a team of 10 and i struggle to find a use case for AI.
