What it does

File Management is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Organize, back up, compress, split, and merge files/folders using rule-driven plans; use when you need safe previews, conflict handling, and verification before executing file operations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `file-management_audit_result_v1.json`, `references/rule-schema.md` and `scripts/merge_parts.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering File organization. It works with PowerShell. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need safe previews
  • Conflict handling
  • Verification before executing file operations

Example prompts

  • “/file-management”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Organize files with a preview plan (PowerShell)
  2. Backup + hash manifest (PowerShell)
  3. Compress a folder (PowerShell)
  4. Split and merge a large file (Python)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

File Management loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

File Management

When to Use

  • You need to reorganize a directory (move/copy/rename) based on include/exclude patterns and a target folder structure.
  • You want a repeatable backup workflow (copy or archive) with optional retention rules and verification manifests.
  • You need to compress a folder or a set of files to reduce size or package deliverables.
  • You must split very large files into fixed-size parts for transfer/storage limits (binary-safe).
  • You need to merge previously split parts back into the original file reliably (binary-safe).

Key Features

  • Safety-first planning: generate a preview/manifest of intended actions before writing changes.
  • Rule-driven scope control: root path + include/exclude patterns + thresholds + target structure (see references/rule-schema.md).
  • Conflict handling: default to skip/rename on collisions; overwrite only with explicit confirmation.
  • Non-destructive defaults: avoid deletion unless explicitly requested.
  • Verification support: compare counts/sizes and optionally generate hashes for critical backups.
  • Binary-safe split/merge: split by fixed size and merge parts without corrupting binary data (scripts/).

Dependencies

  • PowerShell 5.1+ (Windows PowerShell) or PowerShell 7+
    • Cmdlets used: Get-ChildItem, Copy-Item, Move-Item, Compress-Archive, Get-FileHash
  • Python 3.8+ (for split/merge scripts)
    • scripts/split_file.py
    • scripts/merge_parts.py

Example Usage

1) Organize files with a preview plan (PowerShell)
powershell
# Inputs (adjust to your case)
$Root = "D:\Inbox"
$Target = "D:\Organized"
$Include = @("*.pdf","*.docx")
$ExcludeDirs = @("node_modules",".git")
$WhatIf = $true  # set to $false to execute

# Build a manifest (preview plan)
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Root -Recurse -File |
  Where-Object {
    ($Include | ForEach-Object { $_ }) -contains $_.Extension -eq $false
  }

# Practical include filter (simple example)
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Root -Recurse -File -Include $Include

# Exclude directories by path segment
$files = $files | Where-Object {
  $p = $_.FullName
  -not ($ExcludeDirs | Where-Object { $p -match [regex]::Escape("\$_\") })
}

$plan = foreach ($f in $files) {
  # Example target structure: by extension
  $ext = $f.Extension.TrimStart(".").ToLower()
  $destDir = Join-Path $Target $ext
  $destPath = Join-Path $destDir $f.Name

  [pscustomobject]@{
    Source = $f.FullName
    Destination = $destPath
    Action = "Copy"  # start with Copy; switch to Move after verification
  }
}

# Preview
$plan | Format-Table -AutoSize

# Execute (safe defaults: create dirs; do not overwrite unless you decide to)
foreach ($item in $plan) {
  $destDir = Split-Path $item.Destination -Parent
  if (-not (Test-Path $destDir)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $destDir | Out-Null }

  if (Test-Path $item.Destination) {
    # Default conflict strategy: rename
    $base = [IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($item.Destination)
    $ext  = [IO.Path]::GetExtension($item.Destination)
    $dir  = Split-Path $item.Destination -Parent
    $item.Destination = Join-Path $dir ("{0}_{1}{2}" -f $base, (Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMddHHmmss"), $ext)
  }

  if ($item.Action -eq "Copy") {
    Copy-Item -LiteralPath $item.Source -Destination $item.Destination -WhatIf:$WhatIf
  } else {
    Move-Item -LiteralPath $item.Source -Destination $item.Destination -WhatIf:$WhatIf
  }
}
2) Backup + hash manifest (PowerShell)
powershell
$Source = "D:\Project"
$BackupRoot = "E:\Backups"
$Stamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss"
$BackupDir = Join-Path $BackupRoot ("Project_{0}" -f $Stamp)

# Copy backup
Copy-Item -Path $Source -Destination $BackupDir -Recurse

# Create a hash manifest for verification
$manifestPath = Join-Path $BackupDir "hash-manifest.sha256.txt"
Get-ChildItem -Path $BackupDir -Recurse -File |
  ForEach-Object {
    $h = Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 -LiteralPath $_.FullName
    "{0}  {1}" -f $h.Hash, ($_.FullName.Substring($BackupDir.Length + 1))
  } | Set-Content -Encoding UTF8 $manifestPath
3) Compress a folder (PowerShell)
powershell
$SourceDir = "D:\Project"
$ZipPath = "E:\Archives\Project.zip"

Compress-Archive -Path (Join-Path $SourceDir "*") -DestinationPath $ZipPath -Force
4) Split and merge a large file (Python)
bash
# Split into 100MB parts (binary-safe)
python scripts/split_file.py --input "E:\ISO\big.iso" --part-size 100MB --output-dir "E:\ISO\parts"

# Merge parts back (binary-safe)
python scripts/merge_parts.py --input-dir "E:\ISO\parts" --output "E:\ISO\big.iso"

Note: CLI flags may vary depending on the scripts’ implementation. If the scripts do not expose flags, adapt the commands to match their actual parameters.

Implementation Details

  • Rule schema and planning

    • Prefer structured rules to define:
      • rootPath
      • include/exclude patterns (glob-like)
      • optional size thresholds (e.g., split if > N MB)
      • target structure mapping (e.g., by extension/date/project)
      • conflict strategy (skip, rename, overwrite)
    • Use references/rule-schema.md as the canonical format for describing these rules.

  • Preview-first execution

    • Generate a manifest/plan listing (source, destination, action) before any write operation.
    • Use PowerShell -WhatIf (or an explicit “dry run” mode) to validate the plan.

  • Conflict handling

    • Default behavior should be non-destructive:
      • If destination exists: rename (append timestamp or counter) or skip
      • Only overwrite after explicit user confirmation

  • Verification

    • Basic checks: file counts and total sizes before/after.
    • Strong checks for critical backups: SHA256 via Get-FileHash, stored as a manifest for later validation.

  • Binary-safe splitting/merging

    • Splitting should read/write raw bytes in fixed-size chunks (no text encoding).
    • Merging should concatenate parts in deterministic order (e.g., numeric suffix ordering) to reproduce the original byte stream exactly.
