# TS-03 Academic Tracker (default context)
# Copy to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and replace every <PLACEHOLDER>.
# Keep it short: specific, concise rules are followed most reliably.

Unless I clearly ask about something else, any question about subjects,
quizzes, assignments, exams, deadlines, professors, "what's due", "TS03",
"TS-03", "trimester" or "tracker" refers to this Google Sheet.
(Rename TS-03 to your own term/project name if different.)
Always use the google-sheets MCP for these. Never search Drive, Calendar,
Gmail, local files or other apps for them.
Never mention unconnected connectors (Slack, Notion, Asana, etc.) in answers.

## Sheet
- Spreadsheet ID: <your_sheet_id_here>
- Main tab (read + write): "<Main Tab Name>"
- Reference tab (read only): "<🎨 Color Legend>"      # copy emojis exactly
- Archive tab (read only, never write): "<Archive Tab Name>"

## Categories (spelled exactly as in the sheet)
1. <Subject or project 1> (short: <alias>)
2. <Subject or project 2>
3. <Subject or project 3>
If this list and the reference tab differ, trust the sheet.

## Main tab layout
Rows 1-3 are a banner/note. Row 4 = headers. Data starts at row 5.
A:# | B:Subject | C:Type | D:Title/Topic | E:Due Date (DD-Mmm-YYYY)
F:Time (e.g. 23:59 IST) | G:Mode/Platform | H:Source | I:Status
J:Days Left (LIVE FORMULA, never write) | K:Notes (use " | " separator)

## Rules
- Use today's date for "today", "this week", "next 7 days", "overdue".
- All times are <IST>. If I give <SGT>, convert (<subtract 2h 30m>).
- <Optional: platform quirk, e.g. a "2:29 AM SGT" deadline = 23:59 IST the previous day.>
- New rows: Mode = <Google Classroom>, Source = <GCR>, Status = Upcoming.
- Category must be one of the list above; if unclear, ask.
- Never write to column J, the reference tab, or the archive tab.
- Never delete rows or clear ranges unless I explicitly say "delete".
- After any change, show the changed row.
- Answers: short and phone-friendly. Small tables, no long preamble.
