/mpm-organize

Organize ALL project files with intelligent detection, consolidation, and pruning.

Usage

/mpm-organize [--dry-run] [--force] [options]

Delegates to Project Organizer agent for comprehensive file organization.

Scope

Default: Organizes ALL project files

• Documentation (.md, .rst, .txt)
• Source code (proper module structure)
• Tests (organized test suites)
• Scripts (scripts/ directory)
• Configuration (appropriate locations)

Protected files (never moved): README.md, package.json, pyproject.toml, Makefile, .gitignore, etc.

Key Options

Safety:

• --dry-run: Preview without changes (recommended first run)
• --force: Proceed with uncommitted changes
• --no-backup: Skip backup (not recommended)

Scope:

• --docs-only: Only documentation (legacy behavior)
• --code-only / --tests-only / --scripts-only: Specific file types

Operations:

• --consolidate-only: Merge duplicates only
• --prune-only: Remove stale files only
• --no-prune: Keep all files (no deletions)

What It Does

1. Pattern Detection: Scans for existing organization (PROJECT_ORGANIZATION.md, framework conventions)
2. Consolidation: Merges duplicates (READMEs, guides, utilities)
3. Pruning: Archives/removes stale content (>6 months old, empty files)
4. Categorization: Sorts docs into research/user/developer
5. Safe Movement: Uses git mv to preserve history
6. Backup: Creates backup_project_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.tar.gz

Standard Structure

docs/
├── research/        # Spikes, analysis, notes
├── user/            # Guides, tutorials, FAQs
└── developer/       # API docs, architecture, contributing

src/<package>/       # Proper module structure
tests/               # Mirrored source structure
scripts/             # Automation tools
config/              # Configuration (if needed)

Examples

# Preview changes (recommended first)
/mpm-organize --dry-run

# Organize everything with backup
/mpm-organize

# Documentation only
/mpm-organize --docs-only --dry-run

# Consolidate without pruning
/mpm-organize --consolidate-only --no-prune

# Save report
/mpm-organize --report /tmp/organize-report.md

Expected Output

🔍 Analyzing project structure...
✓ Detected PROJECT_ORGANIZATION.md - using project standards
✓ Found 23 documentation files, 15 test files, 8 scripts

📁 Proposed Changes:

  Consolidate:
    → Merge README_OLD.md + README_BACKUP.md → docs/user/README.md

  Organize:
    docs/research/ ← spike-oauth.md (from root)
    tests/unit/ ← test_auth.py (from root)
    scripts/ ← deploy.sh (from root)

  Prune:
    ✂ Remove TODO_2023.md (stale 18 months)

📊 Summary: 8 to move, 2 to merge, 3 to prune

Safety Features

• Full project backup before changes
• Git integration (preserves history)
• Import validation (ensures moves won't break code)
• Protected files never touched
• Conservative pruning (archive when unsure)
