How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Captain Claw or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Break this task into independent subtasks, run them in parallel, and then merge the results into a single report with a section per subtask.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
