Organize

What This Skill Does

The Organize skill enables the OpenClaw agent to act as an intelligent filesystem steward. Rather than treating organization as a deferred chores task, this skill integrates structural awareness directly into the agent's active workflow. It continuously observes how files are created, named, and grouped, ensuring that digital workspaces remain scalable and intuitive. By leveraging a local patterns.md file, the agent learns your specific preferences over time, transitioning from a reactive assistant that requests permission for every move to a proactive partner that anticipates your structural needs. It applies the '10x test' to all operations, ensuring that the hierarchy built today will still function effectively as your project grows significantly in size or complexity.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ivangdavila/organize

Use Cases

• Project Onboarding: Automatically structure new repository folders based on established naming conventions.
• Refactoring Repositories: Proactively suggest moving sprawling flat-directory structures into logical sub-folders before they become unmanageable.
• Consistent Naming: Enforce project-specific naming patterns (e.g., kebab-case vs snake_case) across all new assets.
• Lifecycle Management: Identify obsolete or archived files and suggest moving them to a dedicated archive directory to keep the workspace clean.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm starting a new microservice project; can you help me organize the directory structure as we go?"
2. "Look at my current asset folder and propose a better way to group these files for easier access."
3. "Always move all log files to the /logs directory and keep the root clean for source code."

Tips & Limitations

• Proactive vs. Passive: The skill is designed to propose, not dictate. Always review the 'Reasoning' provided in the proposal format.
• Training: If you want the agent to stop asking for confirmation, explicitly say "always for X" to move that pattern to your local preference configuration.
• Initial Setup: Create a patterns.md file early to help the agent understand your project-specific conventions immediately.
• Limitations: The agent currently requires file system read/write access to perform re-organization; ensure permissions are correctly set in your environment.
