Overview

This skill automates the creation of standardized project structures across cloud platforms (Canva and Notion). It ensures consistent organization by creating platform-specific folder hierarchies (Canva) or page/database structures (Notion) with predefined layouts, reducing manual setup time and maintaining organizational standards.

Supported Platforms:

• ✅ Canva - Creates folder hierarchies with subfolders
• ✅ Notion - Creates pages with databases for structured content
• ⚠️ Google Drive - Requires Zapier integration (see Advanced section)

When to Use This Skill

Trigger this skill when the user requests project creation with phrases such as:

• "Crea progetto [nome] in Canva"
• "Avvia progetto [nome] su Notion"
• "Setup project [nome]"
• "Inizializza progetto [nome] su [piattaforma]"

Note: For Google Drive projects, inform the user that Drive integration requires Zapier setup (see Advanced Integration section).

Project Structure Specifications

Canva Structure

<project_name>/
├── slides/      # Presentation files
└── img/         # Images and visual assets

Notion Structure

📄 <project_name> (Main Page)
├── 🗄️ Database "Slides"
│   └── Properties: Nome (title), Stato (select), Data (date)
├── 🗄️ Database "Images"
│   └── Properties: Nome (title), File (files), Usata in (text), Data Upload (date)
└── 📄 Page "Materiali"
    └── Content area for prompts and notes

Google Drive Structure (Requires Zapier - see Advanced section)

<project_name>/
├── slides/      # Presentations (PPTX, Canva exports, PDF)
├── img/         # Images and visual assets
└── materiali/   # Webinar materials
    └── prompts.txt (empty file)

Note: Canva and Notion structures are fully automated. Google Drive requires additional Zapier integration.

Workflow

Step 1: Parse User Request

Identify the following from the user's request:

1. Project name - The name to use for the folder/page structure
2. Target platform - Which platform(s) to create on (Canva, Notion, or both)
3. Location specification (Canva only) - Whether the user specified a parent folder

Examples:

• "Crea progetto MyAwesomePrjHER in Canva" → name: "MyAwesomePrjHER", platform: "Canva", location: root
• "Avvia progetto MyAwesomeWebinar su Notion" → name: "MyAwesomeWebinar", platform: "Notion"
• "Setup project WebinarAI in Canva nella cartella Talks" → name: "WebinarAI", platform: "Canva", location: "Talks"

If user requests Google Drive:

• Inform user that Drive integration requires Zapier setup
• Offer to create on Canva or Notion instead
• Or refer to Advanced Integration section for Zapier setup instructions

Step 2: Validate Project Name

Before proceeding, check if a project with the same name already exists on the target platform:

For Canva: Use the Canva:list-folder-items tool to check if a folder with the project name exists at root level or specified location.

For Notion: Use the Notion:notion-search tool with query_type "internal" to search for pages with the project name.

If project exists:

• Inform the user that a project with that name already exists
• Show the existing project location/URL
• Ask if they want to:
  • Use a different name
  • Proceed anyway (may create duplicate)
  • Cancel the operation
• STOP and wait for user response before proceeding

If any anomaly or inconsistency is detected:

• Describe the issue clearly
• Ask for clarification
• STOP and wait for user response

Step 3: Request Confirmation

Before creating any folders, present a confirmation message to the user with the following information:

Confirmation format:

Vuoi creare il progetto '[project_name]' su [platform]?

Struttura che verrà creata:
[show the folder tree for the specific platform]

Posizione: [root/specified folder]

Confermi?

Wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding. Accept responses like:

• "Sì", "Yes", "Ok", "Confermo", "Procedi", "Vai"

If user declines or provides unclear response:

• Ask if they want to modify anything
• STOP until receiving clear direction

Step 4: Create Project Structure

Once confirmation is received, create the folder structure using the appropriate MCP tools.

For Canva:

1. Create main project folder at root or specified location:

   • Use Canva:create-folder tool
   • Set parent_folder_id to 'root' or specified folder ID
   • Name: project_name

2. Create subfolders:

   • Use Canva:create-folder tool for slides/ with main project folder ID as parent
   • Use Canva:create-folder tool for img/ with main project folder ID as parent

For Notion:

1. Create main project page:

   • Use Notion:notion-create-pages tool
   • Create a page with the project name as title
   • Add introductory content describing the project structure
   • No parent specified (creates at workspace root)

2. Create "Slides" database:

   • Use Notion:notion-create-database tool
   • Set parent to the main project page ID
   • Properties:
     • "Nome" (type: title) - Name of the slide/presentation
     • "Stato" (type: select) - Status with options: "Draft" (gray), "In Progress" (yellow), "Done" (green)
     • "Data" (type: date) - Date associated with the slide

3. Create "Images" database:

   • Use Notion:notion-create-database tool
   • Set parent to the main project page ID
   • Properties:
     • "Nome" (type: title) - Name/description of the image
     • "File" (type: files) - For attaching image files
     • "Usata in" (type: rich_text) - Notes about where the image is used
     • "Data Upload" (type: date) - Upload date

4. Create "Materiali" page:

   • Use Notion:notion-create-pages tool
   • Set parent to the main project page ID
   • Add content with heading "# Materiali" and section for prompts
   • Include placeholder text for prompts and notes

Step 5: Confirm Completion

After successfully creating all folders/pages, provide a confirmation message with:

1. Success statement - "Progetto '[project_name]' creato con successo su [platform]!"
2. Structure created - Show the folder tree or page hierarchy that was created
3. Access links - Provide direct links to the main project folder/page on the platform
4. Next steps suggestion - Brief reminder of what the user can do next

Example completion message for Canva:

✅ Progetto 'MyAwesomePrj' creato con successo su Canva!

Struttura creata:
MyAwesomePrj/
├── slides/
└── img/

Link: [Canva folder URL]

Ora puoi importare immagini o iniziare a lavorare sulle slide.

Example completion message for Notion:

✅ Progetto 'WebinarAI' creato con successo su Notion!

Struttura creata:
📄 WebinarAI
├── 🗄️ Database "Slides"
├── 🗄️ Database "Images"
└── 📄 Pagina "Materiali"

Link: [Notion page URL]

Ora puoi aggiungere slide al database, caricare immagini e inserire i tuoi prompts nella pagina Materiali.

Error Handling

Handle common errors gracefully:

Project already exists:

• Inform user of existing project
• Offer alternatives (rename, proceed anyway, cancel)
• Do not proceed without explicit confirmation

Parent folder not found (Canva only):

• Inform user that specified parent folder doesn't exist
• Ask whether to create at root or specify different folder
• Wait for user decision

Permission errors:

• Inform user of permission issue
• Suggest checking account access or platform connection
• Provide guidance on reconnecting MCP if needed

Platform connectivity issues:

• Inform user of connection problem
• Suggest checking MCP connection status in Claude settings
• Offer to retry after user confirms connection is restored

Database creation errors (Notion only):

• If database properties fail to create correctly, inform user
• Offer to retry with simplified structure
• Provide manual creation guidance if automated approach fails

Any unexpected errors:

• Describe the error clearly without technical jargon
• Ask user if they want to retry or take different action
• Never proceed silently when errors occur

Important Principles

1. Always request confirmation before creating any folders
2. Always validate that project doesn't already exist
3. Always provide clear feedback at each step
4. Always stop and ask when encountering errors or ambiguity
5. Better to ask one extra question than to proceed incorrectly
6. Never guess or assume - when in doubt, ask the user
7. Provide actionable next steps after completion

Examples

Example 1: Simple Canva Project

User: "Crea progetto AIWorkshop in Canva"

Claude:

1. Checks if "AIWorkshop" exists in Canva root (not found)
2. Asks confirmation: "Vuoi creare il progetto 'AIWorkshop' su Canva?..."
3. User confirms
4. Creates folder structure on Canva
5. Provides completion message with link

Example 2: Notion Project

User: "Avvia progetto MyAwesomePrjHER su Notion"

Claude:

1. Searches for "MyAwesomePrj" page on Notion (not found)
2. Asks confirmation showing the page/database structure
3. User confirms
4. Creates main page with Slides database, Images database, and Materiali page
5. Provides completion message with link

Example 3: Project Already Exists

User: "Setup project TestSkillCanva in Canva"

Claude:

1. Checks if "TestSkillCanva" exists in Canva (found existing)
2. Informs user: "Esiste già un progetto chiamato 'TestSkillCanva' in Canva..."
3. Asks: "Vuoi usare un nome diverso o procedere comunque?"
4. Waits for user response before proceeding

Example 4: User Requests Google Drive

User: "Crea progetto WebinarAI in Drive"

Claude:

1. Recognizes Drive is not currently supported
2. Informs user: "Google Drive richiede l'integrazione con Zapier che non è ancora configurata. Posso creare il progetto su Canva o Notion invece?"
3. Offers alternatives or refers to Advanced Integration section
4. Waits for user decision

Example 5: User Changes Mind

User: "Crea progetto TestProject in Canva"

Claude: "Vuoi creare il progetto 'TestProject' su Canva?..."

User: "Aspetta, meglio chiamarlo TestProject2025"

Claude:

1. Acknowledges change
2. Validates new name "TestProject2025"
3. Asks new confirmation with updated name
4. Waits for confirmation before proceeding

Advanced Integration

Google Drive via Zapier (Future Implementation)

To enable Google Drive project creation, a Zapier integration is required:

Setup Overview:

1. Create a Zap with Webhook trigger that receives project parameters
2. Configure Google Drive actions to create folder structure
3. Add the Zap as an MCP tool using Zapier:add_tools
4. Update this skill to call the Zapier tool for Drive projects

Required Zap Actions:

• Create main project folder
• Create slides/, img/, and materiali/ subfolders
• Create empty prompts.txt file in materiali/
• Return folder URL and confirmation

Benefits:

• Full automation of Drive project creation
• Consistent structure across all platforms
• Easy to modify folder structure via Zapier interface

Status: Not yet implemented. Currently, projects can be created on Canva and Notion only.
