What problem does it solve?

Inquisitor Mode addresses chaotic, unstructured file workspaces by automatically reading file contents, extracting dates and metadata, and reorganizing files into a clear, navigable structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated content extraction across PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, images, TXT, JSON, and code.
  • Date extraction, metadata tagging, and intelligent renaming to standardized formats.
  • Dry-run previews with rollback capability to safely plan changes before applying them. Example: A messy project folder with invoices, contracts, and reports is transformed into Contracts/, Invoices/, and Reports/ with consistent filenames and a workspace-manifest.json produced.

Quick Start

Use the Inquisitor Mode skill to scan a directory and preview changes without performing any file operations.

How do I rollback file renaming operations if I make a mistake?

Rolling back file renaming operations is possible because the system logs all actions before applying them, allowing you to revert the workspace to its previous state.

Does automated workspace organization work with both documents and code files?

Yes, automated workspace organization works with both documents and code files. It operates across PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, images, TXT, JSON, and code to extract metadata and propose renames.
