- A manifest of every change, doubling as an undo map
About this Skill
Renames and files a chaotic folder using one consistent pattern you approve first: dates normalized, project and document type in the name, everything sorted into a folder structure that mirrors how you think. It produces a manifest of every move before applying anything, and can undo the whole run from that manifest.

FAQ
Can it undo a run?
Yes. The manifest records every original path, so the run can be reversed.
Does it delete anything?
Never. It renames and moves only; duplicates are reported, not removed.
