tidy-laptop-folders

Organize messy laptop folders like Desktop, Downloads, and Documents into smart categories — with dynamic folder depth that adapts to how many files you have.

Install

npx skills add mahavir-teraiya/tidy-laptop-folders

What It Does

  1. Scans your Desktop, Downloads, or Documents folder
  2. Groups files into smart categories (Work, Finance, Photos, Media, Code, etc.)
  3. Adapts depth — 10 files get a flat folder, 200 files get Year/Topic/ subfolders
  4. Shows a plan before touching anything
  5. Moves files only after you say yes
  6. Logs everything so you can undo anytime

Quick Start

Just tell your AI assistant:

Tidy my Downloads

Or be specific:

Organize all my folders
What's the mess in my Downloads?
Show me duplicates
Undo the last tidy

Features

  • Smart categories — sorts by purpose, not just file extension (a PDF named "invoice" goes to Finance, not Documents)
  • Dynamic depth — folder nesting adapts to file volume automatically
  • Cross-platform — works on macOS, Windows, and Linux
  • Safe — never deletes, never overwrites, always asks first
  • Undo-friendly — every move is logged for easy reversal
  • Duplicate detection — finds identical files across folders

How Depth Works

Files in Category Structure
1-10 Flat: Finance/
11-50 One level: Finance/Tax/
51-200 Two levels: Finance/2025/Tax/
200+ Three levels max: Finance/2025/Q1/Tax/

Never deeper than 3 levels. Humans get lost beyond that.

Safety

  • Never deletes files — only moves them
  • Never touches system/hidden files
  • Never overwrites — renames on conflict
  • Always shows the plan before executing
  • Creates an undo log (_tidy-log.txt)
