I built a module that runs in MagicMirror on a Raspberry Pi and displays a real-time to-do list on a television in my office. Claude does an admirable job managing my daily task list, which is stored in `TASKS.md` on my local computer. I wanted an at-a-glance dashboard showing everything I have in progress, sorted by priority and synchronized with that file. I described the goal to Claude Code. Since I already had an old Raspberry Pi 3 and an off-the-shelf widescreen TV in my office, Claude Code suggested running MagicMirror on the Pi and Syncthing on both the Pi and my local computer to keep the file updated. Claude then built the MagicMirror module to read `TASKS.md`. After a few tweaks to remove the default modules and clean up the spacing between items, the display was up and running. I set MagicMirror to start automatically when the Pi boots, so now my to-do list is in front of me all day. Step-by-step: 1. I identified the need for a real-time, at-a-glance view of my prioritized tasks, which were stored in `TASKS.md` on my local computer. 2. I described the goal to Claude Code and told it about the Raspberry Pi 3 and widescreen TV I already had in my office. 3. I followed Claude Code’s suggestion to run MagicMirror on the Pi and Syncthing on both the Pi and my local computer. 4. Claude built a MagicMirror module that reads `TASKS.md`. 5. I removed the default MagicMirror modules and adjusted the spacing between items on the screen. 6. I configured MagicMirror to start automatically when the Raspberry Pi boots.
