At a glance

Organize routines within files using blank line separation, consider alphabetical ordering when appropriate, and follow C++ standard file structure.

  • Works in 2 steps: Use at least two blank lines to separate… → Visual distinction
  • Organizing source files
  • SKILL.md covers Routine Separation Within Files, Routine Ordering Strategy, C++ Source File Content Order and Result
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

File Organization And Structure is an agent skill from kitchen-engineer42/pdf2skills. Organize routines within files using blank line separation, consider alphabetical ordering when appropriate, and follow C++ standard file structure. Use when organizing source files, when language doesn't support class-based organization, or when editor navigation is limited.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering File organization. It works with C++. The repository describes itself as: Convert a book into skills directly callable to Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Organizing source files
  • Language doesnt support class-based organization
  • Editor navigation is limited

Example prompts

  • “/file-organization-and-structure”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use at least two blank lines to separate each routine from others
  2. Visual distinction

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d70065. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Organization And Structure loads about 500 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~500

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 230 words (~500 tokens).

“Apply these principles to create well-organized source files.”
