File Organizer Skill
The ultimate suite for cleaning, organizing, and managing files. This skill provides robust tools for deduplication, safe cleanup, intelligent renaming, and desktop arrangement.
Core Principles
- Safety First: All scripts support
--dry-runby default (except report generation). You must explicitly pass--executeto make changes. - Reversible Actions: All destructive actions (moves, renames, safe cleanups) generate an undo log.
- Accurate Classification: Uses both extensions and content signatures (via hashing) to classify and compare files accurately.
Available Workflows
1. Full Folder Cleanup Workflow
When a user asks to "clean up a messy folder", follow these steps:
- Scan:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/scan_files.py <target_dir> -o /tmp/scan.json - Report: Generate a summary to understand the mess:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/generate_report.py /tmp/scan.json -o /tmp/report.mdRead this report to inform the user. - Clean Junk:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/cleanup_files.py /tmp/scan.json -o /tmp/cleanup.jsonIf user approves, run with--execute. - Deduplicate:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/find_duplicates.py /tmp/scan.json -o /tmp/dups.jsonReview duplicates and delete redundant copies. - Organize:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/generate_plan.py /tmp/scan.json --strategy category --dest <target_dir>/Organized -o /tmp/plan.jsonRunorganize_files.py /tmp/plan.json --executeto move files.
2. Desktop Arrangement Workflow
When a user asks to "clean up my desktop":
- Plan:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/arrange_desktop.py <desktop_path> --strategy tidy -o /tmp/desktop_plan.jsonStrategies:tidy(group into folders),minimal(move everything except shortcuts),archive(move to dated folder). - Review: Check
/tmp/desktop_plan.jsonto see what stays (shortcuts) and what moves. - Execute:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/arrange_desktop.py <desktop_path> --strategy tidy --execute
3. Intelligent Renaming Workflow
When a user asks to "fix filenames" or "standardize names":
- Scan:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/scan_files.py <target_dir> -o /tmp/scan.json - Plan:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/rename_files.py /tmp/scan.json --strategy clean -o /tmp/rename.jsonStrategies:clean(remove clutter/copies),standardize(enforce snake_case, etc.),date-prefix,sequential. - Execute:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/rename_files.py /tmp/scan.json --strategy clean --execute
Script Reference
scan_files.py
The foundation of all other scripts. Scans a directory and produces a comprehensive JSON inventory.
Usage: python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/scan_files.py <dir> -o <scan.json>
find_duplicates.py
Finds exact duplicates using SHA-256 hashing. Safe and read-only.
Usage: python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/find_duplicates.py <scan.json> -o <dups.json>
cleanup_files.py
Identifies and safely removes OS junk (.DS_Store, thumbs.db), temp files, and empty files.
Usage: python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/cleanup_files.py <scan.json> --execute --trash-dir <path>
generate_plan.py & organize_files.py
Generates an organization plan (by category, extension, or date) and executes it. Usage:
python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/generate_plan.py <scan.json> --strategy category --dest <dest> -o <plan.json>python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/organize_files.py <plan.json> --execute --log <log.json>
rename_files.py
Cleans up messy names (e.g., "document copy (1).txt" -> "document.txt") or standardizes them.
Usage: python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/rename_files.py <scan.json> --strategy clean --execute
arrange_desktop.py
Specialized script for desktops. Keeps shortcuts and pinned items, moves clutter to organized folders.
Usage: python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/arrange_desktop.py <desktop_path> --strategy minimal --execute
undo_operations.py
Reverses any executed plan (moves, renames) using the generated log file.
Usage: python /home/ubuntu/skills/file-organizer/scripts/undo_operations.py <log.json> --execute
Best Practices
- Always read the report: Generate a Markdown report first (
generate_report.py) to understand the scale of the mess before acting. - Use
--dry-run: When in doubt, run the execute scripts without--executefirst to preview the actions. - Save logs: Always use
--log <file.json>when executing moves or renames so you can undo them if the user changes their mind.
