work-day_skill

Overview

This skill manages the SNMG18 Working Docs directory structure in Google Drive by verifying and creating month and day folders for a specified date. It ensures month folders use the "YYYY-MM Work" format and day folders use the "YYYY-MM-DD" format. Use it to prepare the workspace for a given work day or to keep documents organized by date.

How this skill works

The skill determines the target date (from user input or defaults to today) and formats a month folder name (YYYY-MM Work) and a day folder name (YYYY-MM-DD). It verifies the existence of the SNMG00 Management and SNMG18 Working Docs parent folders, then searches for the month folder and the day folder inside the month. Missing folders are created via Zapier Google Drive folder creation. Finally, it summarizes folder statuses and returns a link to the target day folder.

When to use it

• Preparing folders for today's or a future work day
• Organizing documents by work date before starting tasks
• Ensuring a consistent date-based folder structure exists for handoffs
• Automating folder creation as part of a daily setup workflow
• Verifying folder availability before uploading or sharing files

Best practices

• Provide an explicit date when possible (e.g., 2025-11-15 or 'October 30') to avoid ambiguity
• Use ISO-style date inputs (YYYY-MM-DD) or natural language like 'tomorrow' for convenience
• Run this skill before batch uploads or sharing to ensure the target folder exists
• Confirm SNMG00 Management and SNMG18 Working Docs exist before first use; the skill will stop if they are missing
• Keep month folders named exactly with the ' Work' suffix to preserve consistent sorting

Example use cases

• User asks 'Prepare folders for work day' — skill uses today's date and creates YYYY-MM Work/YYYY-MM-DD if missing
• User asks 'Set up folders for tomorrow' — skill computes tomorrow's date and ensures folders exist
• User requests 'Prepare work day for October 30' — skill creates or finds October's month folder and the 30th day folder
• Onboarding automation: create future date folders in advance for scheduled meetings or reports
• Daily routine: run at start of day to guarantee document folders are present for that day's notes
