Design a folder structure people actually file into — shallow, purpose-first, with a home for everything and an inbox for the undecided, sized to the team that must maintain it. Use when asked organize our shared drive, design a folder structure for the project, where should things live, or our files are chaos. Produces the structure with its placement rules, the depth and naming constraints, the _inbox convention, and the migration-lite plan for the existing mess.
What to give it
▸Who files and who finds — team size, roles, and the honest filing culture (a structure for five diligent people differs from one for forty rushed ones)
▸The retrieval questions — the actual "where is the…?" questions of the last month; structure follows retrieval, not theory
▸The existing mess — top-level inventory of what exists now, and any folders that genuinely work (survivors get kept, not redesigned)
▸Boundaries — what does NOT belong here (personal files, another team's domain, things that live in tools)
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Top level mirrors the team's actual retrieval questions
✓No path exceeds three levels
✓Every top-level folder has a one-sentence placement rule
✓`_inbox` exists with a named drain cadence and owner
✓Migration is freeze-and-drain, not big-bang
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not build taxonomy for taxonomy's sake — every folder must earn its rule
Do not organize by file type — nobody seeks "spreadsheets"
Do not exceed three levels — depth is where compliance goes to die
Do not attempt the big-bang reorg — it stalls at 30% and leaves two messes
Do not create `misc/` — that's `_inbox` without the drain, i.e., the old problem with a new name
