Files
Organise a pile of files
Scattered documents become a structured, searchable set with real titles.
Fill it in
Where it all is.
Who will use it and to find what.
A line per document, so a title is not the only clue.
Your prompt
Organise into something searchable. What it is for: [your what it is for] Read enough of each file to title it by CONTENT. "Notes v3 final FINAL.docx" tells you nothing, and a structure built on existing filenames reproduces the mess with folders around it. Group by how someone will look for things, not by where they came from. Source folders are an artefact of how the pile accumulated. Say what you moved and where, as a list. A reorganisation nobody can reverse is one people resent, and the person who knew where things were now does not. Write a line per document so a title is not the only clue. Flag duplicates and near-duplicates rather than deleting them.
Continue and pick your folderOpens with everything above already filled in.
Why this works
A structure built on existing filenames reproduces the mess with folders around it. This reads enough of each file to title it by content, groups by how someone will look for things, and lists what it moved, because a reorganisation nobody can reverse is one people resent.
