When a user requests file organization help:
Understand the Scope
Ask clarifying questions:
Analyze Current State
Review the target directory:
# Get overview of current structure
ls -la [target_directory]
# Check file types and sizes
find [target_directory] -type f -exec file {} \; | head -20
# Identify largest files
du -sh [target_directory]/* | sort -rh | head -20
# Count file types
find [target_directory] -type f | sed 's/.*\.//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
Summarize findings:
Identify Organization Patterns
Based on the files, determine logical groupings:
By Type:
By Purpose:
By Date:
Find Duplicates
When requested, search for duplicates:
# Find exact duplicates by hash
find [directory] -type f -exec md5 {} \; | sort | uniq -d
# Find files with similar names
find [directory] -type f -printf '%f\n' | sort | uniq -d
# Find similar-sized files
find [directory] -type f -printf '%s %p\n' | sort -n
For each set of duplicates:
