Create Feature Folder Skill
When to Use
- Creating new feature directories in .molcajete/prd/specs/
- Need timestamped folder names (YYYYMMDD-feature_name format)
Usage
The timestamp logic is inlined directly in commands for portability:
FEATURE_DIR=$(python3 -c "from datetime import datetime; from pathlib import Path; import sys; name = sys.argv[1].replace('-', '_'); timestamp = datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d'); dir_name = f'{timestamp}-{name}'; Path(f'.molcajete/prd/specs/{dir_name}').mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True); print(dir_name)" "<feature-name>")
Output: Returns the timestamped directory name (e.g., 20251112-feature_name)
How it works:
- Converts feature name from kebab-case to snake_case
- Gets current date in YYYYMMDD format
- Creates directory name:
{timestamp}-{feature_name} - Creates directory at:
.molcajete/prd/specs/{timestamp}-{feature_name}/ - Returns just the directory name for use in subsequent commands
Example
# Create folder for "user-authentication" feature
FEATURE_DIR=$(python3 -c "from datetime import datetime; from pathlib import Path; import sys; name = sys.argv[1].replace('-', '_'); timestamp = datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d'); dir_name = f'{timestamp}-{name}'; Path(f'.molcajete/prd/specs/{dir_name}').mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True); print(dir_name)" "user-authentication")
# Creates: .molcajete/prd/specs/20251112-user_authentication/
# Returns: 20251112-user_authentication
# Use in subsequent commands
echo "Feature directory: ${FEATURE_DIR}"
# Output: Feature directory: 20251112-user_authentication
