File Organizer

This skill helps you organize messy directories by grouping files into logical subfolders based on their types.

Workflows

1. Simple Organization

To organize a directory using default categories:

1. •Identify the target directory.
2. •Run the organization script: python3 scripts/organize.py <directory>

2. Custom Organization

To specify custom mappings for extensions:

1. •Define a JSON mapping of folder names to lists of extensions.
2. •Run the script with the --mapping flag: python3 scripts/organize.py <directory> --mapping '{"Photos": [".jpg", ".png"], "Text": [".txt"]}'

Resources

• •scripts/organize.py: A Python script that performs the actual file movement.
• •references/categories.md: A list of common file extensions and their suggested categories.

Best Practices

• •Always verify the target directory exists before running the script.
• •If the user specifies a directory that contains important system files, warn them before proceeding.
• •Use references/categories.md to help the user decide how to group their files if they are unsure.
