Automated summary
This skill enables the agent to perform OS file operations: list, bulk create directories, move files, and move files by regex pattern.
Strengths
- Bulk file and folder operations
- Regex support for targeted moves
- Simple interface using absolute paths
- Quickly restructure or organize a filesystem
Limitations
- Cannot delete files or folders
- No handling of permissions or advanced metadata
- Operations limited to what's exposed (no copy, complex rename, etc.)
Use this skill to batch-organize files, move files matching a pattern, or create a directory structure.
Avoid this skill if you need to delete, copy, or modify file permissions.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill provides file manipulation tools that, if used without proper safeguards, could move or create files in sensitive areas. It does not include destructive commands like deletion, but move_files can effectively relocate files, causing potential disruption. No evident exfiltration or code execution risk, but caution is warranted.
- •Allows arbitrary file moves and directory creation without path restrictions, potentially enabling unintended file system modifications.
Examples
List the contents of /home/user/projectsCreate the following directories: /home/user/docs/reports, /home/user/docs/invoices, /home/user/docs/archiveMove all .log files from /home/user/logs to /home/user/old_logs using regex pattern '\.log$'name: os_manipulation description: Operating System file manipulation capabilities (list, bulk create, bulk move, regex move). allowed-tools:

OS Manipulation Skill
This skill allows the agent to interact with the file system.
Tools
list_directory
List contents of a directory.
path: Absolute path to the directory.
create_directories
Create multiple directories at once.
paths: List of absolute paths to create.
move_files
Move multiple files to a specific destination directory.
sources: List of source file paths to move.destination: Destination directory path.
move_files_by_regex
Move files matching a regex pattern from source directory to destination.
source_dir: Directory to search files in.destination: Destination directory.pattern: Python regex pattern to match filenames.
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/operating-system-file-manipulation-mm8o51z2/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/operating-system-file-manipulation-mm8o51z2' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/operating-system-file-manipulation-mm8o51z2/download' --output '.skill-downloads/operating-system-file-manipulation-mm8o51z2/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/operating-system-file-manipulation-mm8o51z2/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/operating-system-file-manipulation-mm8o51z2/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
This file does not provide a usable name/description header for this native procedure. It remains available to download and inspect; use the manual method below.
Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/operating-system-file-manipulation-mm8o51z2/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
