Organise my Downloads folder

Sort files into folders by type and date, and ask before moving anything.

FilesStep by step

The prompt

Look at my Downloads folder. Group the files by type (documents, images, videos, installers, archives, other) and suggest a folder for each group. Show me the plan first, with counts per folder. After I say yes, create the folders and move the files. Do not delete anything.

How to use it

  1. Make sure Shellway is connected in ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor.
  2. Paste the prompt and change the folder names or paths to match your computer.
  3. Review the plan your AI shows before you confirm any changes.

Tips

  • Add 'skip files newer than 7 days' if you are still using recent downloads.
  • Ask for a list of installers older than 6 months that are safe to remove.
