I’ve been using CC as my GTD-buddy. All the usual plaintext files in a git repo, all the usual processes and workflows and constraints; but I’ve written two skills that have taken the activation energy out of what used to be the hard parts for me: /process-inbox and /weekly-review. Process-inbox interviews me item by item, making suggestions which I accept or amend, and it does the bookkeeping. I tell it when I want to do something and what calendar I want it on and it makes the calendar event. Weekly-review walks through an overview of everything done that week, all my open tasks and projects, makes sure everything has a scheduled next action. Sometimes I make a note, cancel something, reschedule something, whatever.

This is nothing I couldn’t do on my own, and in fact, it’s a lot slower than just manually editing files myself. But: this way it’s actually getting done :)

There’s too much hyperbole on this subject, so I won’t add to it; but it has solved a lot of very-long-running problems of mine.
