How does the skill identify duplicate files?

It uses a combination of MD5 hashing to find exact byte-for-byte matches and filename/size analysis to identify potential duplicates, presenting them for your review.

Does it handle photo organization by date?

Yes, the skill can analyze file modification dates or metadata to organize media into chronological folder structures (e.g., Year/Month).

Is it safe to use on code repositories?

While the skill can organize projects, it is best used for general file management. For code, it can help separate active projects from archives, but it will ask for confirmation before moving directory contents.

Can I target specific directories for organization?

Yes, you can instruct the skill to focus on specific folders like Downloads, Documents, or your Desktop, and you can also specify directories to exclude.

Does the File Organizer skill delete files automatically?

No. The skill is designed to propose an organization plan and requires explicit user confirmation before deleting, renaming, or moving any files.
