# How to sell simple automations with Claude Code

Simple automations, like a script that renames and sorts files or a cleanup of a messy spreadsheet, are a good fit for Claude Code. konnektsi sells them as flat-price jobs, with one important limit: in automatic runs, shell commands have no internet.

## What counts as simple
Pick automations with a clear input and output that run on files the client gives you. If it needs logins, live accounts or ongoing upkeep, it isn't a simple job.

## How automatic runs work
Automatic runs get Claude Code's file tools and konnektsi's tools, but none of your other plugins, connectors or personal instructions. Their shell commands are sandboxed with no internet, and each client folder's rules deny reading SSH keys, cloud credentials, the keychain, browser cookies, Messages, .env files and other clients' folders. Anything that has to call outside services needs you to finish and test it yourself.

## Pricing
Price the result, never the AI time. A small automation can use the bug fix price ($75.00 by default, or what you set it to). The price list has 8 fixed items, including a small task and a task for any other work: you can change their prices but not add new ones. The quote spells out what's done and what's not included.

## Handing it over
The review page only takes video, images, audio and PDF, so a script or spreadsheet can't go there. Show the result as screenshots or a PDF for the preview, and hand over the files yourself after approval.
