Prompt 02: Organize my existing projects
Module 01 · Set Up Your Command Center · The Prompts Pack
Run prompt 01 first (so the command center exists). Then paste everything below into Claude Code from your projects root. Claude will inventory what you already have, propose a clean layout, and only change things after you approve.
The prompt to paste
Click the box to select it, then press ⌘C (or Ctrl+C)
I want my existing projects organized into a consistent structure so Claude always knows where things are. My command center is at `<projects-root>/command-center/` (use your real path).
Do this in order, and do NOT move or delete anything until I approve:
1. **Inventory.** List every folder directly under my projects root. For each, give me a table row: name, what it looks like (code project / brand / site / client / research / archive / junk), whether it has a `CLAUDE.md`, whether it has its own git repo, and when it was last modified.
2. **Flag the mess.** Call out: duplicates, folders that are really sub-parts of another project, ambiguous names, archives mixed in with active work, and anything that should be consolidated, renamed, or retired. Show me your proposed cleanup as a list of specific moves/renames. Stop and wait for my approval.
3. **Apply (after I approve, one item at a time for anything destructive).** Make the moves/renames I approved. Use `git mv` where a repo exists, plain `mv` otherwise. Never delete a folder without me confirming that specific folder.
4. **Give every active project a CLAUDE.md.** For each active project that lacks one, create a short starter (project name + one-line purpose), then run `command-center/bin/cc-register.sh "<that-project-path>"` so it gets the Command Center block and a registry entry.
5. **Clean up the registry.** Update `command-center/PROJECTS.md` so every active project has an accurate Type / Purpose / Status, replacing any `[confirm]` placeholders with what you learned.
6. **Show me the final clean tree.**
Rules: one project = one top-level folder; archived work goes in an `archive/` folder or is clearly marked Status: archived; confirm before anything that moves or deletes files.
