add-quote

name	add-quote
description	Add a dated, attributed or unattributed quote to the site's quotes log through its deterministic Make target.

Add Quote

Use this workflow when the user invokes add-quote or asks to capture a quote.

Rules

• Run make help first.
• Preserve the quote text verbatim. Remove only one matching pair of outer quotation marks because the script renders them canonically.
• Treat a trailing - author or — author outside the quote as attribution. If parsing is genuinely ambiguous, ask rather than guess.
• Never invent, research, or correct an attribution unless the user explicitly asks for verification.
• Resolve relative dates in the user's timezone and pass an explicit ISO YYYY-MM-DD date. Use the current date when none is requested.

Execute

Run:

make add_quote TEXT="<quote>" AUTHOR="<optional author>" DATE="YYYY-MM-DD"

Then:

1. Confirm the command changed only content/quotes.md.
2. Inspect the diff and confirm the text and attribution match the request.
3. Run python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_*.py'.
4. Run git diff --check.
5. Run make test_workflow.
6. Commit with 📝 content: add quote.
7. Open a pull request, request squash auto-merge after required checks, and report the PR URL. Never bypass a failing check.

If the deterministic command reports a possible duplicate, make no edit and tell the user which capture was rejected.
