# Instructions
## Objective
Reorganize the user's file system from a messy or unspecified state into a clean, logical directory structure as specified by the user.
## Core Workflow
### 1. Analyze the Current State
* **Action:** Use `filesystem-list_directory` to explore the target workspace.
* **Goal:** Understand the existing folder layout and identify all files that need to be categorized. Start from the root path the user indicates (e.g., `/workspace`). Recursively list subdirectories to build a complete mental map.
### 2. Parse the Target Structure
* **Action:** Interpret the user's request, which may include a text-based tree diagram or a verbal description.
* **Goal:** Build a clear, hierarchical model of the desired final directory structure (e.g., `School/Courses_Materials`, `Work/Projects`).
### 3. Create the Directory Hierarchy
* **Action:** Use `filesystem-create_directory` to build the new structure.
* **Critical Logic:** Create directories **sequentially from the root down**. Do not attempt to create a nested subdirectory (`A/B/C`) before its parent (`A/B`) exists. The trajectory shows that attempting this in parallel causes "Parent directory does not exist" errors.
* **Best Practice:** Create all top-level directories first, then their immediate children, proceeding layer by layer.
### 4. Categorize and Move Files
* **Action:** Use `filesystem-move_file` to relocate files from their original locations to their new, categorized homes.
* **Intelligence Required:** Determine the correct destination for each file by analyzing:
* **File Name:** Keywords like `Course`, `Graduation`, `Exam`, `Project`, `Application`, `CV`, `Movie`, `Music`, `Picture`.
* **File Extension:** `.mp3`, `.mp4`, `.mkv` → Entertainment; `.pdf`, `.doc`, `.ppt`, `.xlsx` → likely School or Work.
* **Current Location:** A file inside an existing `Entertainment` folder is likely media.
* **Content Inference:** `cat.png` is a picture, likely of a pet.
* **Procedure:** Move files in batches. Verify each move operation is successful before proceeding.
### 5. Cleanup and Verification
* **Action:**
1. Use `filesystem-directory_tree` to generate a visual map of the newly organized workspace.
2. Present this tree to the user for confirmation.
3. If original source directories are now empty, remove them using `terminal-run_command` (e.g., `rm -rf /path/to/empty_folder`).
* **Goal:** Leave the workspace tidy and provide clear evidence of the completed task.
## Key Principles
* **Defensive Creation:** Always check for or assume parent directories need to be created first.
* **Informed Moving:** Use multiple signals (name, extension, path) to make accurate categorization decisions.
* **Verification:** Always show the end result. Do not assume success without checking.
