What problem does it solve?
Manage files and folders quickly and reliably using shell commands instead of manual GUI navigation, reducing repetitive clicks and human error when creating, moving, copying, deleting, finding, or inspecting files and directories.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Listing & discovery: Use Get-ChildItem / ls to enumerate files and verify paths before actions.
- Create, copy, move, rename: New-Item, Copy-Item, and Move-Item for deterministic file and directory operations.
- Safe deletion & verification: Recommend explicit user confirmation before Remove-Item -Recurse and prefer recycling where available.
- Content inspection & comparison: Read files with Get-Content, preview with -TotalCount, compare with Compare-Object, and search content with Select-String.
- Disk and size reporting: Measure-Object and Get-PSDrive to check file sizes and available space.
- Use case example: Organize a downloads folder into dated project subdirectories, back up important project folders to another drive, and verify file integrity before removing temporary files.
Quick Start
Use the file-manager skill to copy the folder C:\Users\Me\Downloads\project to D:\Archive\project-backup and then list the destination to confirm the files were copied successfully.
