Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/lkz4203/file-organizerWhat This Skill Does
The File Organizer skill is a powerful automation utility designed to declutter your local filesystem. It functions by scanning a target directory and programmatically grouping files into organized subfolders based on their specific file extensions. By automating the mundane task of sorting documents, images, and installers, this skill saves significant time and reduces digital fatigue, ensuring that your most frequently accessed folders remain clean and manageable.
Installation
To integrate this utility into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/lkz4203/file-organizer
Once installed, ensure your system has PowerShell configured correctly, as this skill utilizes a PowerShell script located at scripts/organize.ps1 to perform the file system modifications.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for individuals who deal with high-frequency file downloads or messy desktop environments. Typical use cases include:
- Clean Up Downloads: Automatically move loose installers, PDFs, and ZIP files into appropriately named subdirectories.
- Desktop Maintenance: Keep your desktop workspace clear by sorting temporary screenshots and documents.
- Project Archiving: Quickly categorize assets for a specific project based on their file format.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, please run the file organizer on my Downloads folder at C:\Users\User\Downloads to clean it up."
- "I need to tidy up my desktop; use the file organizer skill on C:\Users\User\Desktop to sort all those loose files."
- "Can you organize the folder at D:\Projects\Assets using the file-organizer skill?"
Tips & Limitations
- Permissions: Ensure the terminal or OpenClaw agent has read and write permissions for the target directory to avoid execution errors.
- Backup: Always be mindful when running automated scripts on sensitive data; it is recommended to test the skill on a small dummy folder first.
- Extension Logic: This skill relies on the file extension; files without extensions or with unconventional naming conventions may not be sorted as expected. It does not perform content-based analysis or intelligent semantic categorization, making it a fast but straightforward automation tool.
