Organize messy laptop folders like Desktop, Downloads, and Documents into smart categories — with dynamic folder depth that adapts to how many files you have.
npx skills add mahavir-teraiya/tidy-laptop-folders- Scans your Desktop, Downloads, or Documents folder
- Groups files into smart categories (Work, Finance, Photos, Media, Code, etc.)
- Adapts depth — 10 files get a flat folder, 200 files get
Year/Topic/subfolders - Shows a plan before touching anything
- Moves files only after you say yes
- Logs everything so you can undo anytime
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
- 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
| 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.
- 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)
