20 hours agoI’ve recently been playing with claude code via the terminal and it’s literally saving me 100’s of hours organizing all my ttrpg pdf’s and other media. I’d suggest trying that with the johnny decimal system, that sounds like a great way to organize things with claude code (claude code requires a min $20/mo sub, but it’s worth it IMO).

well, just to be clear, im not shilling for antrhopic here, most AI companies are evil little shits ruining the planet, but I have to admit it has its use cases that are legitimate, and coding is definitely one of them.
that said, once i have it installed in the terminal i just point it at the folder i want to organize, and tell it in layman’s terms what i want it to do, like, “Organize the files and folders into a system that is human-readable and generally makes sense” or I’ll tell it to organize into a specific folder structure, and it will scan all the file and folder names and write scripts (and execute them) to re-arrange them as needed.
it’s accuracy is shockingly high, but it does miss some things, so always double check it’s work.
if there’s any doubt, i tell it to put duplicates and other things to get rid of in a “_trash” folder for me to look through before i commit to deleting them.
