SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

You configure a reusable export target stored alongside send-to-folder's destinations in pixie.db.settings.export_destinations. A target extends a plain destination with a default format, so future exports can write directly to it in one command. Pure config — no files are exported by this skill.

Core Features & Use Cases

The skill provides a persistent export target registry that stores targets in pixie.db.settings.export_destinations, supports a default format, creates destination folders if missing, and allows mode-based operations to list, register, update, remove, or convert plain destinations into registered targets, enabling consistent export workflows across tools.

Quick Start

Register a new export target named Notes with path '/Users/alex/Documents/Notes' and default format 'pdf'.

What is a registered export target and when do I need one?

A registered export target is a named configuration extending a plain destination with a default format. You need one when you want consistent export behavior across tools, enabling future exports to write directly to a preset location in one command.

Can I update or remove an existing export destination in the Pixie database?

Does Pixie create the destination folder if it does not exist?

What format does the default export format need to be in?

The default export format must be a valid format from the supported vocabulary. When configuring a reusable export target, you must provide an absolute path and a valid default format so future exports can target the preset location correctly.

How do I convert plain destinations into registered targets?

To convert plain destinations into registered targets, use the mode-based operations provided by the configuration logic. This applies a default format to existing plain destinations, storing them as registered targets in the database for consistent export behavior.
