Does this skill delete my original files?

No, it creates a backup of your original folder by renaming it with an underscore prefix (e.g., _project-name) before copying the files to the new monorepo location.

What happens if a project already exists in the destination?

The skill includes a safety check that detects existing directories and will return an error requesting manual confirmation before proceeding with any changes.

Can I use this for non-Deno projects?

While the skill uses Deno tools for file operations, it can organize any type of project folder regardless of the underlying programming language.

Does it support Git operations?

Yes, it can optionally run 'git add' within the Sift directory to stage your newly organized files, making it ready for a commit.

How does it decide the destination category?

The skill analyzes the project folder name for specific keywords like 'sync', 'ai', 'web', or 'doc' to assign it to DevOps, AI, WebUI, or Documentation categories respectively.
