Consolidate scattered files into logical directories to improve workspace organization and discoverability.
Protocol
-
Assess current workspace structure
- Catalog loose files in the workspace directory
- Identify existing folder structure and naming conventions
- Determine semantic relationships and project groupings before considering file types
-
Identify semantic organization opportunities
- Group files by project, context, or domain first
- Preserve existing directories that represent meaningful organization
- Look for related items that should stay together despite different file types
-
Protect special directories
- Identify any directories containing
file zosite.jsonfiles, as well as any directories calledArticlesorPrompts - Do not touch, move, or reorganize these directories—they are managed project structures
- Leave them in place regardless of other organizational changes
- Identify any directories containing
-
Create organized folder structure (if not already present):
-
Projects/– for active and completed projects -
Research/– for articles, PDFs, and reference materials -
Data/– for spreadsheets, CSVs, and datasets -
Documents/– for notes, plans, and written content -
Archive/– for old or completed items
-
-
Consolidate files by semantic meaning, then by type:
- Prioritize grouping by project or context over pure file type
- Move related files together into semantic folders when meaningful
- Within semantic folders, organize by type if needed
-
Organize supporting files:
Projects/ – Project folders and related files
- Move project directories and associated content into this structure
Research/ – Articles, PDFs, and reference materials
- Move: PDF files, research documents, reference articles, and external content
Data/ – Spreadsheets and datasets
- Move: CSV files, XLSX files, and other tabular data
Documents/ – Notes, plans, and written content
- Move: Markdown files, text documents, planning documents, and analysis
Archive/ – Old or completed items
- Move: Outdated files, deprecated versions, and completed projects
-
Consolidate without destroying:
- Review existing subdirectories for related content and redundancies
- Integrate contents into the appropriate semantic structure
- Keep all original directories intact—do not delete any folders
-
Ensure there are no remaining loose files in the workspace directory
-
Document the new structure:
- Create
file WORKSPACE_STRUCTURE.mdat the root explaining the folder organization
- Create
Output
Inform the user that the workspace has been reorganized:
- List the new folder structure created
- Provide a count of files moved and their destinations
- Suggest next steps for navigating the reorganized workspace
- Note any files that required manual review or decisions about placement
- Ask the user if they have any organization preferences that they would like to use in the future, modifying this command
