# File Organizer
Intelligently organize and rename files based on their content and metadata.
## Overview
This skill helps you:
- Analyze file contents to determine categorization
- Suggest folder structures
- Generate consistent naming conventions
- Identify and handle duplicates
- Create organization systems
## How to Use
### Analyze Files
```
"Analyze these files and suggest how to organize them"
"What category does this file belong to?"
"Suggest a better filename for this document"
```
### Organize
```
"Create a folder structure for my project files"
"Organize my downloads folder"
"Sort these invoices by vendor and date"
```
## Naming Conventions
### Recommended Formats
**Documents**
```
YYYY-MM-DD_Category_Description_v1.ext
Example: 2026-01-29_Contract_ClientName_NDA_v1.pdf
```
**Images**
```
YYYY-MM-DD_Event/Project_Description_NNN.ext
Example: 2026-01-29_ProductLaunch_HeroImage_001.png
```
**Invoices/Receipts**
```
YYYY-MM-DD_Vendor_Amount_InvoiceNumber.ext
Example: 2026-01-29_Adobe_149.99_INV-12345.pdf
```
**Meeting Notes**
```
YYYY-MM-DD_MeetingType_Topic.ext
Example: 2026-01-29_TeamSync_Q1Planning.md
```
### Naming Rules
- Use underscores or hyphens, not spaces
- Start with date for chronological sorting
- Include key identifiers (client, project, type)
- Add version numbers for iterations
- Keep names concise but descriptive
## Folder Structures

```
## Analysis Capabilities
### Content-Based Categorization
- **Documents**: Contracts, reports, letters, forms
- **Financial**: Invoices, receipts, statements, budgets
- **Media**: Photos, videos, audio, graphics
- **Code**: Source files, configs, documentation
- **Data**: Spreadsheets, databases, exports
### Metadata Extraction
- Creation/modification dates
- Author information
- File dimensions (images/video)
- Duration (audio/video)
- Page count (documents)
## Automation Rules
### Example Rules
```markdown
## Auto-Organization Rules
### Rule 1: Invoices
- Trigger: PDF with "Invoice" or "INV-" in content
- Action: Move to /Finance/Invoices/[Year]/[Month]/
- Rename: YYYY-MM-DD_Vendor_Amount.pdf
### Rule 2: Screenshots
- Trigger: File matches "Screenshot*.png"
- Action: Move to /Screenshots/[Year-Month]/
- Rename: YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_Screenshot.png
### Rule 3: Downloads Cleanup
- Trigger: File in Downloads older than 30 days
- Action:
- If document → Archive
- If installer → Delete
- If media → Sort to appropriate folder
```
## Best Practices
### Organization Principles
1. **PARA Method**: Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive
2. **Date-First**: Enables chronological sorting
3. **Descriptive Names**: Future you will thank you
4. **Flat is Better**: Avoid deep nesting (max 3-4 levels)
5. **Regular Maintenance**: Schedule monthly reviews
### File Hygiene
- Delete duplicates and temp files
- Archive completed projects
- Use cloud sync for important files
- Maintain consistent naming
- Document your system
## Limitations
- Cannot access protected/encrypted files
- Large file moves require manual execution
- Content analysis depends on file format support
- Cannot guarantee perfect categorization
- Manual review recommended for important files
