File Organizer

Intelligently organize and rename files based on their content and metadata.

Overview

This skill helps you:

  • Analyze file contents to determine categorization
  • Suggest folder structures
  • Generate consistent naming conventions
  • Identify and handle duplicates
  • Create organization systems

How to Use

Analyze Files

"Analyze these files and suggest how to organize them"
"What category does this file belong to?"
"Suggest a better filename for this document"

Organize

"Create a folder structure for my project files"
"Organize my downloads folder"
"Sort these invoices by vendor and date"

Naming Conventions

Recommended Formats

Documents

YYYY-MM-DD_Category_Description_v1.ext
Example: 2026-01-29_Contract_ClientName_NDA_v1.pdf

Images

YYYY-MM-DD_Event/Project_Description_NNN.ext
Example: 2026-01-29_ProductLaunch_HeroImage_001.png

Invoices/Receipts

YYYY-MM-DD_Vendor_Amount_InvoiceNumber.ext
Example: 2026-01-29_Adobe_149.99_INV-12345.pdf

Meeting Notes

YYYY-MM-DD_MeetingType_Topic.ext
Example: 2026-01-29_TeamSync_Q1Planning.md

Naming Rules

  • Use underscores or hyphens, not spaces
  • Start with date for chronological sorting
  • Include key identifiers (client, project, type)
  • Add version numbers for iterations
  • Keep names concise but descriptive

- Rename: YYYY-MM-DD_Vendor_Amount.pdf

### Rule 2: Screenshots
- Trigger: File matches "Screenshot*.png"
- Action: Move to /Screenshots/[Year-Month]/
- Rename: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_Screenshot.png

### Rule 3: Downloads Cleanup
- Trigger: File in Downloads older than 30 days
- Action: 
  - If document → Archive
  - If installer → Delete
  - If media → Sort to appropriate folder

Best Practices

Organization Principles

  1. PARA Method: Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive
  2. Date-First: Enables chronological sorting
  3. Descriptive Names: Future you will thank you
  4. Flat is Better: Avoid deep nesting (max 3-4 levels)
  5. Regular Maintenance: Schedule monthly reviews

File Hygiene

  • Delete duplicates and temp files
  • Archive completed projects
  • Use cloud sync for important files
  • Maintain consistent naming
  • Document your system

Limitations

  • Cannot access protected/encrypted files
  • Large file moves require manual execution
  • Content analysis depends on file format support
  • Cannot guarantee perfect categorization
  • Manual review recommended for important files
