# Date Tracking Implementation Summary
|
|
|
|
This note explains how `date_added` support fits into the current repository structure after the `apps/` and `tools/` refactor.
|
|
|
|
## What Exists Today
|
|
|
|
### Frontmatter support
|
|
|
|
New skills can include a `date_added` field in `SKILL.md` frontmatter:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
name: skill-name
|
|
description: "Description"
|
|
date_added: "2026-03-06"
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Validator support
|
|
|
|
The active validators understand `date_added`:
|
|
|
|
- `tools/scripts/validate_skills.py` checks the `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
|
|
- Supporting JS validation/test helpers are aware of the field where relevant.
|
|
|
|
### Index and web app support
|
|
|
|
- `tools/scripts/generate_index.py` exports `date_added` into `skills_index.json`.
|
|
- `npm run app:setup` copies the generated index to `apps/web-app/public/skills.json`.
|
|
- The web app can render the field anywhere the UI surfaces it.
|
|
|
|
### Maintenance scripts
|
|
|
|
- `tools/scripts/manage_skill_dates.py` manages skill dates.
|
|
- `tools/scripts/generate_skills_report.py` produces JSON reports from current skill metadata.
|
|
|
|
## Canonical Documentation
|
|
|
|
The canonical docs for date tracking now live here:
|
|
|
|
- [`skills-date-tracking.md`](skills-date-tracking.md)
|
|
- [`../contributors/skill-template.md`](../contributors/skill-template.md)
|
|
- [`../contributors/skill-anatomy.md`](../contributors/skill-anatomy.md)
|
|
|
|
Use those files as the source of truth instead of older root-level doc names.
|
|
|
|
## Common Commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# View current date coverage
|
|
python tools/scripts/manage_skill_dates.py list
|
|
|
|
# Add missing dates
|
|
python tools/scripts/manage_skill_dates.py add-missing
|
|
|
|
# Update one skill
|
|
python tools/scripts/manage_skill_dates.py update skill-name 2026-03-06
|
|
|
|
# Generate a report
|
|
python tools/scripts/generate_skills_report.py --output reports/skills_report.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Repository-wide coverage can change over time as new community skills are added, so this document avoids hardcoding counts.
|
|
- `date_added` is useful metadata, but the operational contributor gate remains `npm run validate`; strict validation is a separate hardening target for legacy cleanup.
