# Bring order to a messy project folder.

Get a proposed structure before anything moves.

## Why try this?

An agent can inventory a folder and propose a consistent organization.

## What to bring

A backed-up copy of one folder with only the files needed for the task.

## Your starting request

Inspect this project folder read-only. List the file types and propose a clearer folder structure. Produce a table of current path, proposed path, and reason. Flag ambiguous or duplicate-looking files. Do not move, rename, overwrite, or delete anything yet.

## Illustrative result

This is an authored teaching example, not a live model response.

An inventory and proposed move table, with ambiguous files left for a human decision.

## Then make it fit

Apply only these approved moves: [list]. Never overwrite a destination. Keep a log so I can reverse the changes.

## Before you use it

Back up first. Inspect proposed paths, confirm ambiguous files, and verify links and applications still work after approved moves.

## What you are learning

For actions that change your files, review the exact proposed changes first.
