backfill
Skill1 starsChanged 44 days agoMITView on GitHub
Bring a past month in Jobcan up to date — compare what the user actually did (their chat posts, their calendar) with what Jobcan has, file the leave that is missing, then fill in the attendance for the days they worked — with one preview and one confirmation per step. Use when the user asks to backfill, catch up, fill in or close a month, or to record last month's attendance.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 34
leave missing in Jobcan: a source says off and Jobcan has no request.
- Distinctive: line 54
Leave before attendance, always: the attendance plan depends on the leave being in Jobcan.
- Distinctive: line 57
Never record attendance for a day the user has not accounted for if a source says they were away that day.
- Very specific: line 59
Do not post anything to the channel or the calendar in this skill.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
jobcan:backfill
Month-end catch-up. Nothing is assumed about how the user works: the preset says which sources count as evidence of what they did and what their usual day looks like.
Needs
- The
jobcanMCP server with writes enabled. - The user's preset at
~/.config/jobcan-agent/preset.md, in particular its "My defaults" and "Backfill" sections. Missing preset: stop and ask for the usual hours, the attendance note and which sources to check, then suggest saving them as a preset. - Whatever connectors the preset's sources need. A missing connector means that source is skipped, and the report says so.
Procedure
- Pick the month. "Last month" is relative to
jobcan_get_today. Confirm the month in one line if the user was vague. - Gather, read-only.
- Jobcan:
jobcan_get_timesheetfor the month andjobcan_list_leave_requestsfor it. - Each source the preset lists (
references/sources.md): the user's own posts in the channel for the month, out-of-office events on the calendar. Ignore other people's posts and events that are not about the user's absence.
- Jobcan:
- Build the month, one row per workday, from the timesheet's own calendar (weekends and holidays are already marked there). For each day: what Jobcan has (leave, clock times, pending), what each source says (off, half day, hours, nothing).
- Sort the days into:
- agree: nothing to do;
- leave missing in Jobcan: a source says off and Jobcan has no request;
- unclear: sources disagree, a half day whose hours are not stated, an event that may not be leave (a lunch block, a trip), leave in the middle of a day;
- nothing recorded: a workday with no leave and no clock times, to be filled in step 6. Show the table. Ask about every unclear day before going on; never resolve one by guessing. A source alone never proves leave: if the user says the calendar block was not leave, it is not leave.
- File the missing leave:
jobcan_request_leavefor the confirmed dates, past dates allowed, the user's half-day rule from the preset for half days. One preview with the balance before and after, one yes, thenconfirm: true. Stop on any failure and report it. - Fill in the attendance:
jobcan_record_attendancefor the month with the preset's usual hours, note and spot. It skips days off, days already recorded, days on full-day leave and today, and works around hourly leave. Show its day-by-day plan (before → after), get one yes, thenconfirm: true. - Report: what was filed, what was recorded, what was skipped and why, and what still needs the user or an administrator (an approved request that is wrong, a day that could not be recorded).
Rules
- Leave before attendance, always: the attendance plan depends on the leave being in Jobcan.
- Two confirmations, one per step. Do not merge them; the user may want the leave but not the attendance.
- Never record attendance for a day the user has not accounted for if a source says they were away that day; that day goes to "unclear".
- Do not post anything to the channel or the calendar in this skill. If the reconciliation shows a
leave that was filed but never announced, say so and offer
jobcan:request-leave's announcement step separately. - Jobcan is the source of truth for the result; the chat and calendar are evidence of intent.
