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:
- •Project name - The name to use for the folder/page structure
- •Target platform - Which platform(s) to create on (Canva, Notion, or both)
- •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:
- •
Create main project folder at root or specified location:
- •Use
Canva:create-foldertool - •Set parent_folder_id to 'root' or specified folder ID
- •Name: project_name
- •Use
- •
Create subfolders:
- •Use
Canva:create-foldertool forslides/with main project folder ID as parent - •Use
Canva:create-foldertool forimg/with main project folder ID as parent
- •Use
For Notion:
- •
Create main project page:
- •Use
Notion:notion-create-pagestool - •Create a page with the project name as title
- •Add introductory content describing the project structure
- •No parent specified (creates at workspace root)
- •Use
- •
Create "Slides" database:
- •Use
Notion:notion-create-databasetool - •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
- •Use
- •
Create "Images" database:
- •Use
Notion:notion-create-databasetool - •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
- •Use
- •
Create "Materiali" page:
- •Use
Notion:notion-create-pagestool - •Set parent to the main project page ID
- •Add content with heading "# Materiali" and section for prompts
- •Include placeholder text for prompts and notes
- •Use
Step 5: Confirm Completion
After successfully creating all folders/pages, provide a confirmation message with:
- •Success statement - "Progetto '[project_name]' creato con successo su [platform]!"
- •Structure created - Show the folder tree or page hierarchy that was created
- •Access links - Provide direct links to the main project folder/page on the platform
- •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
- •Always request confirmation before creating any folders
- •Always validate that project doesn't already exist
- •Always provide clear feedback at each step
- •Always stop and ask when encountering errors or ambiguity
- •Better to ask one extra question than to proceed incorrectly
- •Never guess or assume - when in doubt, ask the user
- •Provide actionable next steps after completion
Examples
Example 1: Simple Canva Project
User: "Crea progetto AIWorkshop in Canva"
Claude:
- •Checks if "AIWorkshop" exists in Canva root (not found)
- •Asks confirmation: "Vuoi creare il progetto 'AIWorkshop' su Canva?..."
- •User confirms
- •Creates folder structure on Canva
- •Provides completion message with link
Example 2: Notion Project
User: "Avvia progetto MyAwesomePrjHER su Notion"
Claude:
- •Searches for "MyAwesomePrj" page on Notion (not found)
- •Asks confirmation showing the page/database structure
- •User confirms
- •Creates main page with Slides database, Images database, and Materiali page
- •Provides completion message with link
Example 3: Project Already Exists
User: "Setup project TestSkillCanva in Canva"
Claude:
- •Checks if "TestSkillCanva" exists in Canva (found existing)
- •Informs user: "Esiste già un progetto chiamato 'TestSkillCanva' in Canva..."
- •Asks: "Vuoi usare un nome diverso o procedere comunque?"
- •Waits for user response before proceeding
Example 4: User Requests Google Drive
User: "Crea progetto WebinarAI in Drive"
Claude:
- •Recognizes Drive is not currently supported
- •Informs user: "Google Drive richiede l'integrazione con Zapier che non è ancora configurata. Posso creare il progetto su Canva o Notion invece?"
- •Offers alternatives or refers to Advanced Integration section
- •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:
- •Acknowledges change
- •Validates new name "TestProject2025"
- •Asks new confirmation with updated name
- •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:
- •Create a Zap with Webhook trigger that receives project parameters
- •Configure Google Drive actions to create folder structure
- •Add the Zap as an MCP tool using
Zapier:add_tools - •Update this skill to call the Zapier tool for Drive projects
Required Zap Actions:
- •Create main project folder
- •Create
slides/,img/, andmateriali/subfolders - •Create empty
prompts.txtfile inmateriali/ - •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.
