What it does

Advanced File Management is an agent skill from MassLab-SII/open-agent-skills. Advanced file management tools. Includes batch folder creation, batch file moving, file listing, and HTML author extraction.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/create_folders.py`, `scripts/extract_authors.py` and `scripts/list_all_files.py`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering File organization. The repository describes itself as: We are dedicated to building a set of open agent skills that deliver superior performance, higher determinism, and greater consistency on targeted tasks, while operating at a… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve File organization

Example prompts

“/advanced-file-management”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

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

Create Multiple Folders
Move Multiple Files
List All Files
Extract Authors

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ece5fab. 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 7 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

Advanced File Management loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 545 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.6k

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.

SKILL.md

name: advanced-file-management
description: Advanced file management tools. Includes batch folder creation, batch file moving, file listing, and HTML author extraction.

Advanced File Management Skill

This skill provides tools for desktop file management:

Folder creation: Create multiple folders under a target directory
Move files: Move multiple files to a target directory
List all files: Recursively list all files under a directory
Extract authors: Extract authors from HTML papers

Important Notes

Do not use other bash commands: Do not attempt to use general bash commands or shell operations like cat, ls.
Use relative paths: Use paths relative to the working directory (e.g., ./folder/file.txt or folder/file.txt).
Do not create scripts: Do not use write_file to create any scripts.

I. Skills

1. Create Multiple Folders

Creates multiple folders under a target directory.

Features

Creates multiple folders with specified names
Supports any number of folder names as arguments

Example

bash

# Create 3 folders
python create_folders.py . folder1 folder2 folder3

# Create folders with specific names
python create_folders.py ./projects experiments learning personal

2. Move Multiple Files

Move multiple files to a target directory in a single operation.

Features

Move multiple files at once
Supports files from different directories
Reports success and failure for each file

Example

bash

# Move 3 files to archive folder
python move_files.py ./archive file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

# Move files from different directories
python move_files.py ./backup ./data/log1.txt ./data/log2.txt ./temp/cache.dat

3. List All Files

Recursively list all files under a given directory path. Useful for quickly understanding project directory structure.

Features

Recursively traverse all subdirectories
Option to exclude hidden files (like .DS_Store)
Output one file path per line, including both path and filename (relative to input directory)

Example

bash

# List all files (excluding hidden)
python list_all_files.py .

# Include hidden files
python list_all_files.py ./data --include-hidden

4. Extract Authors

Extract authors from all HTML papers in a directory using <meta name="citation_author"> tags.

Features

Automatically scan all HTML files in directory
Extract author names from citation_author meta tags
Support multiple authors per paper
Returns list of dicts with filename and authors

Example

bash

# Extract and print authors from all HTML files
python extract_authors.py ./papers

# Save to file
python extract_authors.py ./papers --output authors.txt

II. Basic Tools (FileSystemTools)

Below are the basic tool functions. These are atomic operations for flexible combination.

Prefer Skills over Basic Tools: When a task matches one of the Skills above (e.g., creating multiple folders), use the corresponding Skill instead of Basic Tools. Skills are more efficient because they can perform batch operations in a single call.

Prefer List All Files over list_directory/list_files: When you need to list files in a directory, prefer using the list_all_files.py skill instead of list_directory or list_files basic tools. The skill provides recursive listing with better output formatting.

Note: Code should be written without line breaks.

How to Run

bash

# Standard format
python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.read_text_file('./file.txt')"

File Reading Tools

`read_text_file(path, head=None, tail=None)`

Use Cases:

Read complete file contents
Read first N lines (head) or last N lines (tail)

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.read_text_file('./data/file.txt')"

`read_multiple_files(paths)`

Use Cases:

Read multiple files simultaneously
Use when reading a large number of files (e.g., multiple paper html pages)

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.read_multiple_files(['./a.txt', './b.txt'])"

File Writing Tools

`write_file(path, content)`

Use Cases:

Create new files
Overwrite existing files

⚠️ Warning: Do NOT include triple backticks (```) in the content, as this will break command parsing. Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.write_file('./new.txt', 'Hello World')"

`edit_file(path, edits)`

Use Cases:

Make line-based edits to existing files

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.edit_file('./file.txt', [{'oldText': 'foo', 'newText': 'bar'}])"

Directory Tools

`create_directory(path)`

Use Cases:

Create new directories (supports recursive creation)

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.create_directory('./new/nested/dir')"

`list_directory(path)`

Use Cases:

List all files and directories in a path

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.list_directory('.')"

`list_files(path=None, exclude_hidden=True)`

Use Cases:

List only files in a directory

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.list_files('./data')"

File Operations

`move_file(source, destination)`

Use Cases:

Move or rename files/directories

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.move_file('./old.txt', './new.txt')"

`search_files(pattern, base_path=None)`

Use Cases:

Search for files matching a glob pattern

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.search_files('*.txt')"

File Information

`get_file_info(path)`

Use Cases:

Get detailed metadata (size, created, modified, etc.)

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.get_file_info('./file.txt')"

`get_file_size(path)`

Use Cases:

Get file size in bytes

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.get_file_size('./file.txt')"

`get_file_ctime(path)` / `get_file_mtime(path)`

Use Cases:

Get file creation/modification time

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.get_file_mtime('./file.txt')"

`get_files_info_batch(filenames, base_path=None)`

Use Cases:

Get file information for multiple files in parallel

Example:

bash

python run_fs_ops.py -c "await fs.get_files_info_batch(['a.txt', 'b.txt'], './data')"
