File
A comprehensive AI agent skill for managing the files, folders, and documents that accumulate across your digital life. Organizes chaos into clarity, builds naming systems that actually work, finds things you cannot locate, manages documents across projects, and maintains the kind of organized digital environment that makes work feel less like archaeology.
Why use this skill?
Tame your digital chaos. Use the OpenClaw File skill to automate folder structures, standardize naming conventions, and regain control of your files.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ethagent/fileWhat This Skill Does
The File skill is an intelligent digital librarian designed to transform disorganized file systems into structured, intuitive environments. Rather than imposing rigid, generic rules, this skill analyzes your existing document habits and creates a bespoke naming and organizational system that scales with your workflow. It addresses the common issue of 'digital hoarding' caused by time-pressure decisions, such as saving files with ambiguous names like 'final_v2' or leaving clutter on the desktop. By understanding context, content, and the actual terminology you use during retrieval, the skill creates conventions that ensure every document is identifiable at a glance and easy to locate when needed.
Installation
To add this skill to your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ethagent/file
Ensure your local environment permissions allow the skill to access the directories you intend to organize.
Use Cases
- Project Archival: Automating the cleanup of completed project folders by renaming files to a standardized format and moving them into a master archive.
- Desktop Clean-up: Aggregating miscellaneous screenshots, PDFs, and loose documents into a logical folder hierarchy based on file type and project category.
- Search Optimization: Implementing date-sorting prefixes (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD) across all existing files to ensure that chronological sorting is native to your OS file explorer.
- Version Control: Standardizing version naming (e.g., v01, v02, Final) to eliminate ambiguity regarding which file is the most recent or approved version.
Example Prompts
- 'Analyze my Documents folder and suggest a folder structure that categorizes files by project and then by year, renaming all subfolders to follow this new convention.'
- 'I have a folder full of invoices named random dates and numbers. Rename them all to reflect the Vendor Name and the Date in YYYY-MM-DD format.'
- 'Identify all files on my desktop that haven't been opened in over a year and move them to an archive folder labeled 'Old_Archive' to clear up my workspace.'
Tips & Limitations
Tips: Start by running the skill on a single sub-folder before applying changes to your entire hard drive to ensure the naming conventions align with your preferences. Use the skill to create 'rule sets' that you can apply to incoming files in real-time.
Limitations: This skill requires read and write access to your local filesystem. Be aware that mass-renaming operations, while efficient, may break links in certain specialized software if those applications rely on hard-coded file paths that do not dynamically update.
