File Organizer

Helps you organize file systems with YAML-based rules for automated operations.

Features

• File Moving: Move files by type/source/pattern to designated directories
• File Renaming: Remove garbled characters, unify formats, standardize naming
• Mac Tags: Add color tags and custom text labels to files
• Duplicate Detection: Find duplicate files by content/name and process by rules
• AI Insights: Analyze directories and intelligently recommend organization rules

Mac Tag Commands

Use the tag command-line tool for tag operations.

Tag Colors

Color
gray
green
purple
blue
yellow
red
orange

Usage

# Add tag (color + text)
# Format: tag --add "label"$'\n'"color_code" file
# Color codes: 1=gray, 2=green, 3=purple, 4=blue, 5=yellow, 6=red, 7=orange

# Example: Red "To Delete" tag
tag --add "To Delete"$'\n'"6" /Users/alien/Downloads/README.md

# Example: Blue "Invoice" tag
tag --add "Invoice"$'\n'"4" file.pdf

# List tags on a file
tag --list file

# List all used tags
tag --usage

Using in Skills

When executing tag operations, use the tag command:

tag --add "label"$'\n'"color_code" <file_path>

Trigger Methods

Auto Trigger

Automatically triggers when you say:

• "整理下载目录" (organize downloads)
• "整理桌面" (organize desktop)
• "移动文件" (move files)
• "清理重复文件" (clean duplicates)
• "给文件打标签" (tag files)
• "分析一下我的下载目录" (analyze my downloads)

Manual Invocation

• /file-organizer - Manual skill invocation

First-Time Usage Flow

1. Skill starts → 2. Check rules → 3. Rules exist? Execute : Guide to create → 4. Preview → 5. Confirm execution

Rule Detection

The skill automatically checks ~/.file-organizer/rules/ for valid rules on startup.

No Rules Guidance

If no rules exist, the skill will:

1. Ask which directory you want to organize
2. Use AI to analyze directory contents
3. Provide rule suggestions
4. Save rules and execute after your confirmation

Environment Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• macOS
• tag command-line tool (required for Mac Tag functionality)

Installing tag Command

brew install tag

Pre-first-use check:

Initial Setup

Before first use, check if tag command is installed:

which tag || brew install tag

The skill will automatically create config directories:

• ~/.file-organizer/rules/ - Rule files
• ~/.file-organizer/logs/ - Operation logs
• ~/.file-organizer/config.yaml - Configuration file

Configuration File

Location: ~/.file-organizer/config.yaml

# Preview mode (true=preview, false=execute)
dry_run: true

# Scan directories
scan_paths:
  - ~/Downloads
  - ~/Documents
  - ~/Desktop

# Log level
log_level: info

Usage Examples

Organize Downloads

"帮我整理下载目录" (Help me organize downloads)
→ Scan ~/Downloads
→ Apply rules, show preview
→ You say "执行" (execute) → Execute operations

AI Analysis & Suggestions

"分析一下我的下载目录有什么" (Analyze what's in my downloads)
→ AI analyzes directory contents
→ Provides rule suggestions
→ Save and execute after your confirmation

Move Specific Files

"把微信的 PDF 移到 Documents" (Move WeChat PDFs to Documents)
→ Scan ~/Downloads
→ Match PDF + WeChat
→ Preview operations

2. Apply rules
3. Show operation summary
4. Wait for you to say "执行" (execute) or "确认" (confirm)

Execution Mode

After you say "执行", "确认":

1. Execute operations one by one
2. Show execution results
3. Log to file

Troubleshooting

Issue: Skill not responding

• Check if match rules are correctly configured in SKILL.md
• Try manual invocation with /file-organizer

Issue: Rules not working

• Check YAML syntax is correct
• Confirm rule files are in ~/.file-organizer/rules/ directory
• Use --verbose for detailed information

Issue: Tag functionality not working

• Confirm running on macOS
• Check if AppleScript is available

Issue: Move operations failing

• Check if target directory has write permissions
• Confirm sufficient disk space
