Does this skill delete files automatically?

No, the skill is designed to analyze your system and propose an organization plan. It will never move or delete files without your explicit confirmation.

How does it identify duplicate files?

The skill uses a multi-step process including matching filenames, comparing file sizes, and generating MD5 hashes to ensure files are identical before suggesting removal.

Is it safe to use on my entire home directory?

While capable, it is best used on specific subdirectories like Downloads, Documents, or Projects. The skill asks clarifying questions to help you define the scope and avoid sensitive system data.

Can I customize the folder structure it suggests?

Absolutely. Claude will present a proposed structure first, which you can then modify or refine through natural language before any changes are applied.

Can it organize files by their creation or modification date?

Yes, it can sort files into chronological hierarchies (e.g., Year/Month) based on file system metadata or EXIF data for photos.
