Author here. I was genuinely surprised this worked as well as it did - regular LLMs really struggle with UK tax law but giving Claude Code access to 10,000 documents changed everything.

Curious if anyone else has tried using Claude Code for non-development tasks? The pattern seems like it could work for any domain with lots of reference documentation.
