Folder Organizer

An autonomous agent that semantically reorganizes any messy folder into a clean, navigable structure. Drop your files into workspace/unorganized_folder/, run the agent, and get a logically grouped hierarchy back. No hardcoded sorting rules — the agent reads the folder_organization skill and reasons about what goes where based on file names, types, and context.

Overview

The setup has two parts:

AutonomousAgent with a workspace directory
Workspace files (AGENTS.md, skills/folder_organization/SKILL.md) that define how the agent classifies and moves files

The agent has no custom tools and no hardcoded logic. It reads the skill, surveys the folder with tree, plans a structure, moves files, and writes a log — entirely on its own.

Environment Variables

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key

Installation

cd examples/autonomous_agents/folder_organizer
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Drop your files into workspace/unorganized_folder/
Run the agent:

uv run main.py

The agent surveys the folder, classifies each file semantically, moves them into a structured hierarchy, and writes a log.

How It Works

Step	What happens
Survey	Agent runs `tree` on the target folder to map all files
Classify	Groups files by semantic category using name, extension, and context
Move	Executes all moves into the new structure
Log	Writes `REORGANIZATION_LOG.md` with every `original path → new path` move

The agent never deletes files — only moves them. Duplicates are kept together, not resolved.

Complete Implementation

main.py

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from upsonic import AutonomousAgent, Task

load_dotenv()

agent = AutonomousAgent(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
    workspace=os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "workspace"),
)

classification_task = Task("Organize the unorganized_folder.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent.print_do(classification_task)

One task, one line. No custom tools, no system prompt, no sorting logic in code.

Workspace: SKILL.md

The agent’s behavior is fully defined in workspace/skills/folder_organization/SKILL.md. It specifies:

Categories: photos/, videos/, audio/, documents/official/, design/, code/<project>/, archives/, projects/<name>/
Classification rules: infer purpose from name, extension, and folder context
Move rules: never delete, keep related files together, prefer semantic names
Log format: every move recorded as original path → new path

Change the skill file to change the agent’s behavior — no code changes needed.
