Directory Management

From the author

Manages project directory setup and artifact organization. Use when starting a new project, resuming an existing one, or when a PLAN.md needs to be associated with a project directory. Creates the project folder structure (specs/, scripts/, notebooks/, manifests/, agent_memory/) and resolves project naming.

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The directory-management skill provides a systematic approach to organizing project files and maintaining context. It automates the creation of a standardized folder hierarchy, ensuring that specifications, scripts, notebooks, manifests, and session memory are consistently located. By enforcing a naming convention and integrating with existing project plans, it helps maintain continuity across sessions and simplifies artifact management.

What it does

Resolves project naming through context analysis or user confirmation.
Detects existing projects by scanning for PLAN.md files.
Creates a standardized directory structure including specs, scripts, notebooks, and manifests.
Initializes an agent_memory folder for session persistence and progress tracking.

When to use it

When starting a new project from scratch.
When resuming work on an existing project.
When you need to associate a PLAN.md file with a specific project directory.
When you want to ensure all generated artifacts are organized in a predictable location.

Advantages

Reduces clutter by enforcing a consistent file structure.
Improves project continuity by linking session notes and plans to specific directories.
Simplifies project identification through slug-based naming conventions.
Ensures essential project components like scripts and manifests are easily discoverable.

Usage examples

“I want to start a new data analysis project.”: The agent will propose a project slug, confirm the name, and create the directory structure including the specs, scripts, notebooks, and agent_memory folders.
“Can you resume my project?”: The agent scans for existing PLAN.md files, identifies the project directory, and loads the relevant context to continue work.

Project Setup

Before any work begins, resolve the project name:

If the project name is already known from conversation context, use it.
Otherwise, scan for existing */PLAN.md files in the current directory. If found, ask the user if they are resuming an existing project and load that PLAN.md into context.
If no existing projects are found, recommend a ≤64-char lowercase slug based on what you know from the conversation (only [a-z0-9-]), or ask directly if there isn't enough context. Present the recommended name and wait for user confirmation.

Once project name is resolved:

Create and/or use the <experiment-name>/ directory using the confirmed name for storing all the artifacts

Directory Structure

When working with the agent, all generated files are organized under an project directory.

<project-name>/
├── specs/  
│   ├── PLAN.md             # Your customization plan
├── scripts/                # Generated Python scripts
│   ├── <project-name>_transform_fn.py
├── notebooks/              # Generated Jupyter notebooks
│   ├── <project-name>.ipynb
├── manifests/              # Machine-readable outputs (JSON)
└── agent_memory/           # Session persistence (git-ignored)
    └── session-notes.md    # Progress, artifacts, next steps
