SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the friction of capturing and triaging tasks triggered by @@, applying GTD principles to manage Things 3 tasks via AppleScript.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Quick Capture: extract text after @@ as Stuff, interpret time phrases (e.g., afternoon, tomorrow, Mar 5), and route attachments to the Reference Handling flow when present.

  • Similar Task Deduplication & Merge: perform similarity search across Notion (Gaa/Task daily actions) and Things 3 to detect related tasks, propose merging notes instead of creating duplicates, and append to existing tasks when approved.

  • GTD Clarify & Project Scoping: ask if the task is a multi-step project needing a Project or tags and reminders.

  • Reference Handling & Inbox Zero: when attachments are involved, fetch Google Drive links, analyze keywords, update Notion records with links, and ensure files reside in Personal folder with ultimate synchronization.

  • Reference Processing Flow: ensure files in Personal folder, retrieve share links, analyze keywords, update Notion, and pause Things 3 storage for now (noting that it will focus on Notion and Google Drive).
