Can I sync submodules from specific hosts like GitHub?

Yes, the skill allows you to filter submodules by remote host (GitHub or GitLab) during the synchronization process.

Does this skill support non-Java projects in IntelliJ?

Yes, it specifically uses the EMPTY_MODULE type to create a Java-free view, preventing the IDE from misdetecting folders as Java modules.

What happens to my existing module configuration?

The skill updates your modules.xml and generates .iml files. It includes confirmation steps before removing orphaned modules and supports recovery via sync.

Does it exclude bulky folders like node_modules?

Yes, it features a built-in blacklist that automatically excludes node_modules, .git, build directories, and temporary Claude files from the module view.

How does it handle the PARA method?

It automatically detects root folders matching the 00-90 pattern and groups them into corresponding PARA categories within the IDEA Project View.

Productivity & Workflow

Synchronizes IntelliJ IDEA project modules with Git submodules and PARA folder structures to optimize project organization.

The IDEA Module Sync skill automates the complex task of maintaining an organized IntelliJ IDEA workspace by aligning it with Git submodules and the PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) productivity framework. It recursively discovers submodules, filters them by remote host, and configures a 'Java-free' view to prevent the IDE from misdetecting non-Java projects. By automating module XML generation and ad-hoc scope creation, this skill ensures your IDE navigation stays clean, grouped, and perfectly synced with your physical file structure.
