Session Goal
The primary objective of this session was to automate the organization of digest artifacts from January to August 2025 using shell scripting, ensuring compatibility with POSIX standards.
Key Activities
- Developed a series of shell scripts to automate the creation of directory structures and the linking of files based on specific criteria and patterns.
- Created a generalized setup script to organize common files, key arcs, instruction/execution pairs, PromptFlow items, reflections, and cooking recipes.
- Updated scripts to be POSIX-safe, addressing issues like missing month folders and simplifying code structure.
- Improved error handling and avoided subshell arrays to enhance script reliability.
- Modified symlink filenames to include month prefixes for better organization.
Achievements
- Successfully automated the organization of markdown digest files, creating structured output directories and linking common files across specified categories.
- Enhanced script functionality and reliability by incorporating POSIX standards and improved error handling.
Pending Tasks
- Re-run the setup script to ensure all links are in place and verify the organization of files.
- Continue refining scripts for additional edge cases and potential improvements.
