NYC List Skill

Manages Ben's NYC list Google Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GeVkWdyqKM7P8A0MGwWns3fOketRR5ThnubSEaIKJEQ/edit

Sheet Structure

List tab

Columns: name, address, is_decent, is_recommended, is_elite, is_closed, notes

name: Place name (e.g., 2A, 2nd Ave. Deli)
address: Full address (e.g., 25 Avenue A, New York, NY 10009)
is_decent: Y or N (green background if Y, purple if N)
is_recommended: Y or N
is_elite: Y or N
is_closed: Y or N
notes: Brief review or comment (1-2 sentences, candid and practical)

Sorting

The List tab is sorted alphabetically by name (ascending).

When adding new entries:

Add the new place to the sheet
Sort the entire list alphabetically by the name column with {{HOME}}/bin/nyc-list-sort.sh
The sheet should remain in alphabetical order at all times

Commands

Add a new place

gog --no-input -a "$GOG_ACCOUNT" sheets append 1GeVkWdyqKM7P8A0MGwWns3fOketRR5ThnubSEaIKJEQ "List!A:G" \
  --values-json '[["2nd Ave. Deli","162 E 33rd St, New York, NY 10016","Y","Y","N","N","Old school Jewish deli with the classic sandwiches and sides"]]' \
  --insert INSERT_ROWS

Query the list

gog --no-input -a "$GOG_ACCOUNT" sheets get 1GeVkWdyqKM7P8A0MGwWns3fOketRR5ThnubSEaIKJEQ "List!A1:G20" --json

Search by name or address

Use gog --no-input -a "$GOG_ACCOUNT" sheets get with a larger range, then filter results in your script.

Update a place's status

gog --no-input -a "$GOG_ACCOUNT" sheets update 1GeVkWdyqKM7P8A0MGwWns3fOketRR5ThnubSEaIKJEQ "List!C10" \
  --values-json '[["Y"]]' \
  --input USER_ENTERED

Sort the list

{{HOME}}/bin/nyc-list-sort.sh

Workflow Rules

If address is missing: look up the address on the web (e.g., via a quick search) before adding the entry
Always confirm before adding or updating places
Show the full draft entry in the confirmation message so Ben can approve the exact row that will be written
Ask for confirmation immediately after drafting; do not stop at analysis or leave the request hanging without a direct approval prompt
If waiting on approval: say plainly that no change has been made yet and that the task is paused pending Ben's confirmation
Always report completion after adding or updating a row so Ben knows the change was actually made
Alphabetical order: After adding, sort the list by name ascending
is_decent: Ask Ben for Y/N; this affects background color (Y=green, N=purple)
is_recommended: Y/N flag for places Ben recommends
is_elite: Y/N flag for special/elite tier places
is_closed: Mark Y if the place has closed
notes: Keep brief and candid, like existing entries (1-2 sentences)
Address format: Use full Google Maps-style addresses

Examples

Confirmation message before add

Use a direct confirmation prompt with the exact row contents:

Confirm this NYC list entry and I'll add it:
- name: Joe's Pizza
- address: 150 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003
- is_decent: Y
- is_recommended: Y
- is_elite: N
- is_closed: N
- notes: My neighborhood outpost of the famous pizza purveyor. Decent and reliably recommended for a slice nearby.

Add a new place (recommended, decent)

gog --no-input -a "$GOG_ACCOUNT" sheets append 1GeVkWdyqKM7P8A0MGwWns3fOketRR5ThnubSEaIKJEQ "List!A:G" \
