How we verify

Evidence: Shown on videoThe source includes a video or screen recording of the agent doing the task.

Beginner-friendlyNo logins, payments or coding needed. Low risk: paste the prompt and you should get something useful.

Outcome

Claude Cowork asked how the poster wanted 27 unstructured files organized, created analytics-data, blog-posts and screenshots folders, looked at each screenshot and renamed it by content (e.g. feature-text-to-sql-converter.jpg); the poster says it took about 30 seconds.

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing.

Goal: Tidy one messy work folder into clear subfolders and give screenshots descriptive names.

Fill in before running: Which folder, and do I want folders by type (data, drafts, images) or by project?

What I'll give you:
- The folder to tidy ([FOLDER])
- How I want it grouped (e.g. analytics data, blog drafts, screenshots)

Rules:
- Before moving anything, list the files and propose the folder structure. Wait for my OK.
- Open each screenshot or image, look at what it shows and rename it in lowercase-with-dashes describing the content.
- Keep the original file extension. Never delete a file.
- If you can't tell what a file is, put it in a 'check-me' folder.

Output: The new folder tree, plus a table of old name → new name.

You'll know it worked when: every file sits in a sensible folder and I can tell what each screenshot is from its name.

Organize and tidy up this folder

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing.

Goal: Tidy one messy work folder into clear subfolders and give every screenshot a descriptive name.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- The folder to tidy ([FOLDER])
- Grouping: by type (analytics data, blog drafts, screenshots) or by project
- Files or subfolders to leave alone
- Naming style (default: lowercase-with-dashes)

Rules:
- List every file with its type and proposed destination before moving anything; wait for my OK.
- Open each screenshot or image and name it for what it shows (e.g. feature-text-to-sql-converter.jpg), not for its date.
- Keep extensions; add -2, -3 for name clashes instead of overwriting.
- Never delete files; anything you can't identify goes to a 'check-me' folder.
- Write a rename log (old path → new path) as a CSV in the folder root so every change can be reversed.

Checkpoint: Wait for my OK on the proposed structure before the first move.

If you get stuck: If a file is open or locked, skip it and list it at the end. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Count files before and after; the numbers must match.

Output: The new folder tree, the rename log and the 'check-me' list.

Done when: every file sits in a sensible folder and each screenshot's name tells me what it shows.
