downloads-triage
Empty the Downloads folder that's become a junk drawer — the four-bucket pass (file, delete, action, quarantine), the age-based bulk rules that make 2,000 items tractable, and the tiny habit that keeps it empty. Use when asked clean up my downloads folder, 2000 files in downloads help, what's safe to delete here, or stop my downloads from piling up.

# Downloads Triage Skill The Downloads folder is where files land, not where they live — but without a triage habit it becomes the household junk drawer: installers from 2023, seventeen copies of the same logo, that PDF you needed once. The rescue is bulk-first: age and type rules dispose of 80% without item-by-item decisions ("installers older than a month: delete all"), the keepers get filed by the folder rules, and a ten-minute weekly sweep keeps the count near zero forever. ## What This Skill Produces - **The bulk rules** — age × type classes that clear most of the pile in a few decisions - **The four buckets** — delete / file (with destinations) / action (it's really a task) / quarantine (unsure, dated, auto-expiring) - **The safe-delete classes** — what's always safe (installers, re-downloadables) and the two check-first classes - **The sweep habit** — the weekly ten-minute pass, plus the browser setting that helps ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The scale and vintage** — item count and oldest file; a 200-item month and a 4,000-item three-years get different opening moves - **The filing destinations** — where keepers go (the [folder-structure-designer](.

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
