Understand the Scope
Ask clarifying questions:
Analyze Current State
Review the target directory:
# Get overview of current structure
ls -la [target_directory]
# Check file types and sizes
find [target_directory] -type f -exec file {} \; | head -20
# Identify largest files
du -sh [target_directory]/* | sort -rh | head -20
# Count file types
find [target_directory] -type f | sed 's/.*\.//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
Summarize findings:
Identify Organization Patterns
Based on the files, determine logical groupings:
By Type:
By Purpose:
By Date:
Find Duplicates
When requested, search for duplicates:
# Find exact duplicates by hash
find [directory] -type f -exec md5 {} \; | sort | uniq -d
# Find files with same name
find [directory] -type f -printf '%f\n' | sort | uniq -d
# Find similar-sized files
find [directory] -type f -printf '%s %p\n' | sort -n
For each set of duplicates:

Want to organize another folder?
User: "My Downloads folder is a mess with 500+ files. Help me organize it."
Process:
User: "Find duplicate files in my Documents and help me decide which to keep."
Output:
# Found 23 Sets of Duplicates (156 MB total)
## Duplicate Set 1: "proposal.pdf"
- `/Documents/proposal.pdf` (2.3 MB, modified: 2024-03-15)
- `/Documents/old/proposal.pdf` (2.3 MB, modified: 2024-03-15)

User: "Review my ~/Projects directory and suggest improvements."

# Analysis of ~/Projects
## Current Structure Issues
- Mix of active and archived projects (3+ years old)
- No consistent naming convention
- Some projects at root, others in random subfolders
- Duplicate folders (project-name, project-name-old, project-name-v2)
## Proposed Structure
Projects/ ├── Active/ │ ├── client-work/ │ ├── side-projects/ │ └── learning/ ├── Archive/ │ ├── 2022/ │ ├── 2023/ │ └── 2024/ └── Templates/
## Specific Changes
1. Move 12 projects not touched since 2022 → Archive/
2. Consolidate 4 duplicate project folders
3. Rename projects to consistent format: "client-name-project-name"
4. Create Archive for old work

├── 2024/
│ ├── 01-January/
