Does this skill delete files automatically?

No, the skill is designed to analyze your system and propose an organization plan. It will never move or delete files without your explicit confirmation.

How does it identify duplicate files?

The skill uses a multi-step process including matching filenames, comparing file sizes, and generating MD5 hashes to ensure files are identical before suggesting removal.

Is it safe to use on my entire home directory?

While capable, it is best used on specific subdirectories like Downloads, Documents, or Projects. The skill asks clarifying questions to help you define the scope and avoid sensitive system data.

Can I customize the folder structure it suggests?

Absolutely. Claude will present a proposed structure first, which you can then modify or refine through natural language before any changes are applied.

Can it organize files by their creation or modification date?

Yes, it can sort files into chronological hierarchies (e.g., Year/Month) based on file system metadata or EXIF data for photos.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates file and folder organization by analyzing content patterns, identifying duplicates, and suggesting logical directory structures.

About

The Intelligent File Organizer skill transforms Claude into a digital librarian for your local filesystem, reducing the cognitive load of manual file management. It intelligently scans cluttered directories like Downloads or Projects to identify file types, detect duplicates via MD5 hashing, and propose context-aware folder hierarchies. By providing interactive summaries and requiring user approval before any movement or deletion, it ensures a safe and efficient way to maintain a tidy workspace, archive old projects, and reclaim disk space without the manual effort of dragging and dropping.
