The /already skill lets Claude Code pull work from Already sessions and execute it directly in your terminal. Record a voice note, attach a screenshot, or type a task — then run /already and Claude handles the rest.

​
Prerequisites

  • Claude Code CLI installed (npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
  • Already MCP server configured in Claude Code (see MCP overview)
  • A Personal API Key (PAK) or agent API key from Already

​
MCP server configuration

Add the Already MCP server to your Claude Code config. Put this in ~/.claude.json or your project’s .claude.json: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "already": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "https://already.so/mcp-server",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-pak-or-api-key>",
        "X-Team-Id": "<your-team-uuid>"
      }
    }
  }
}
Replace the key and team ID with values from your Already account settings.

​
Installation

Copy the skill file to your Claude Code skills directory.
Installs for all projects.
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/already
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/already/SKILL.md \
  https://already.so/skills/claude/already/SKILL.md
Restart Claude Code after installing. The /already command will appear in your slash-command list.

​
Usage

Three modes depending on the arguments you pass.

​
List mode

/already list
Lists the 20 most recent sessions with status, priority, title, assignee, and labels. No work is performed. 
Recent Sessions (20)
─────────────────────
[~] High   | Fix auth redirect bug    | @alice | bug,auth  | a1b2c3d4
[ ] Normal | Add dark mode support    |        | feature   | e5f6g7h8
[x] Low    | Update README            | @bob   | docs      | i9j0k1l2

​
Auto mode

/already
Picks up the most recent todo session, marks it in_progress, reads all context (notes, comments, attachments), executes the work, then updates the status and adds a completion comment.

​
Specific mode

/already <session-id>
Same as auto mode but targets a specific session by its UUID. Use this after running /already list to pick a particular task.

​
Workflow

What happens when the skill executes work on a session:
1

Fetch context

Reads the session’s title, description, notes (including voice transcriptions), comments, and attachment list.
2

Download attachments

Screenshots, PDFs, and other files are downloaded to /tmp and viewed so Claude has full visual context.
3

Execute work

Based on the gathered context, Claude performs the requested task (writing code, fixing bugs, creating files, etc.).
4

Update status

The session is marked done or needs_feedback and a summary comment is added.

​
Examples

Fix a bug from a voice note — Record a voice note in Already describing a bug. The session is created with your transcription in the notes. Run /already and Claude reads the transcription, understands the issue, fixes it, and marks the session done with a comment explaining the fix. Work through a backlog — Run /already list to see what’s pending, then /already <id> to pick a specific task, or just /already repeatedly to work through todos in order. Screenshot-driven UI changes — Attach a screenshot to a session with annotations showing what to change. Claude downloads and views the screenshot, then implements the UI changes to match.
