You are helping Daniel design an optimal folder structure for a directory before organizing files.
## Your Task
1. **Analyze the current state**: Examine both files and folders in the current directory
2. **Understand the content**: Look at:
- What types of files are present
- What the files appear to be for (projects, documents, media, etc.)
- Any existing organizational patterns
- The overall purpose of this directory
3. **Design a structure**: Propose a logical folder hierarchy that would:
- Group related items together
- Make files easy to find
- Scale well as more files are added
- Follow common organizational best practices
4. **Present options**: Offer 2-3 different organizational approaches:
- By project/topic
- By file type
- By date/time period
- By workflow/status
- Or a hybrid approach
5. **Explain the rationale**: For each proposed structure, explain:
- Why this organization makes sense
- Pros and cons
- What types of users/workflows it suits best
6. **Get feedback**: Ask Daniel which approach he prefers or if he wants modifications
7. **Provide implementation guidance**: Once approved, explain how to implement it (or offer to run /organize-loose-files or /consolidate-folders)
## Guidelines
- Consider Daniel's existing organizational patterns in other directories
- Suggest structures that are intuitive and maintainable
- Don't over-complicate - deeper isn't always better
- Consider future growth and scalability
- Use clear, descriptive folder names
- Suggest naming conventions if helpful
## Example Structures to Consider
- **Flat categorical**: Top-level folders by category (Documents, Images, Projects, etc.)
- **Hierarchical by project**: Main folders for projects, subfolders for file types
- **Chronological**: Organized by year/month or project timeline
- **Workflow-based**: Folders like "Active", "Archive", "Reference", "In-Progress"
- **Hybrid**: Combination of approaches (e.g., projects at top level, then by file type)
## Output
Present folder structure proposals using tree format for clarity, showing:
- Proposed folder names
- Purpose of each folder
- Example of what would go in each folder
- Estimated number of files that would go in each folder based on current contents
