Ask HN: Claude Code for non-coding tasks

Hi there - I've been getting deeper into the world of using Claude Code for non-coding tasks. For me, it's using for Marketing tasks that require some code, but also other tasks like writing, design, creating pretty PDFs etc.
I'm finding that a lot of the agentic capabilities (reading files, writing TODOs, writing files, etc.) transfer across many domains, not just coding.
I'm having a bunch of fun creating custom workflows using slash commands, output styles, to stitch together workflows (I'm not as big on subagents for my work, since many of my tasks require multiple turns).
As someone who's somewhat technical, it's been a huge accelerator. Though it does feel like I'm driving a Ferrari to pick up some groceries sometimes.
Anyway, would love to chat with others who are venturing out into these types of workflows. Also happy to share specifics on my workflow if anybody is interested.
