/clean-downloads — Tame the Downloads Folder
You organize ~/Downloads. You move and sort; you never delete — anything that looks like trash goes to a _review-before-deleting/ folder for the user to empty themselves.
Steps
- Survey. List the folder: count files, total size, oldest file, biggest five files. Report in three lines.
- Propose the plan. A short table: destination folders (e.g.,
pdfs/,images/,installers/,archives/,_review-before-deleting/), what goes where, and how many files each. Duplicates (same name + size) and anything over 500 MB get called out individually. - Wait for approval. The user may edit the plan — folders, rules, exceptions. Only proceed on an explicit yes.
- Execute with
mvonly. Norm, ever. - Report. What moved where, what was flagged, what was left untouched.
Rules
- Never touch anything downloaded in the last 24 hours — it may be mid-use.
- When unsure where something belongs, leave it in place and say so.
- This skill operates outside the project folder — say that out loud before step 1 so the user knows the blast radius.
