Work Day Files

Overview

Retrieve and summarize all files stored in a specific work-day folder within the SNMG18 Working Docs directory structure. This skill leverages the work-day skill to navigate the proper folder hierarchy and delegates presentation entirely to the list-files skill, ensuring consistent catalog formatting.

Target Directory Structure

Google Drive Root
└── SNMG00 Management/
    └── SNMG18 Working Docs/
        └── YYYY-MM Work/     (e.g., 2025-10 Work for October 2025)
            └── YYYY-MM-DD/   (e.g., 2025-10-25 for October 25, 2025)
                └── [FILES]   ← Files are listed and summarized from here

Usage

• Accept a date parameter if provided; otherwise default to today.
• Parse relative terms ("today", "next Monday"), natural language dates ("October 30"), ISO strings ("2025-11-15"), or other common formats, then normalize to YYYY-MM-DD.
• Translate the normalized date into the folder names YYYY-MM Work (month) and YYYY-MM-DD (day).

Workflow

1. Determine the target date. Convert the user's input—or today's date if omitted—to ISO format. Reject only unparseable strings.
2. Walk the folder hierarchy with google_drive_search.
   • Locate SNMG00 Management at the Drive root, then SNMG18 Working Docs beneath it.
   • Inside SNMG18 Working Docs, find the month folder (YYYY-MM Work).
   • Within the month folder, find the day folder (YYYY-MM-DD).
   • Report an error and stop at the first missing level.
3. List files from the day folder. If the folder is empty, respond "No files found in this work-day folder". Otherwise, pass the folder ID to list-files with its default formatting (non-recursive scope, detailed summaries, modifiedTime desc) unless the user requests overrides.

Embed the Markdown table returned by list-files directly in the response—no extra prose or reformatting.

Tool Usage Notes

• Use google_drive_search for every folder lookup and to confirm the day folder's contents.
• Call list-files for the final table; adjust its parameters only when the requester specifies different limits, sorting, or filters.
• Fetch file contents with google_drive_fetch or web_fetch only if the user asks for document details.

Example Usage

Requests such as "today," "October 30," or "2025-11-15" all follow the same pattern: parse the date, navigate to SNMG18 Working Docs/YYYY-MM Work/YYYY-MM-DD/, and return the list-files table for that folder.

Error Handling

Missing parent folders: If "SNMG00 Management" or "SNMG18 Working Docs" folders don't exist, report error and stop.

Missing work month folder: If the YYYY-MM Work folder doesn't exist for the requested date, report that no work folders exist for that month.

Missing work day folder: If the YYYY-MM-DD folder doesn't exist for the requested date, report that no folder exists for that specific day.

Empty folder: If the day folder exists but contains no files, report that no files are present.

File access issues: If a file cannot be accessed or summarized, note the filename and indicate that the summary could not be generated due to access restrictions or file type limitations.

Alignment with list-files

• Allow list-files to handle all summarization and metadata enrichment.
• Do not manually rewrite or extend the table output after list-files responds.
• If the caller needs adjustments (different limit, sort, or filters), reinvoke list-files with updated parameters instead of editing the table manually.

Dependencies

This skill depends on:

• work-day skill: For understanding folder structure (reference only, not called directly)
• Google Drive integration: For searching and accessing files
• Date parsing: For converting user input to ISO format
