Short answer

Can my AI organize my Shimo files?

Yes. Your agent uses Shimo Docs to look through your existing folders and files, then creates new files or structures to keep things tidy. You'll get a clear view of how your agent handles the heavy lifting.

Where files land.

A structured document hierarchy.

Your agent maps out your current mess and puts things where they belong.

CLEANUP

A tidy hierarchy

The agent uses list_folders to see your current setup and suggests a better way to group your documents.

SEARCH

Instant file location

Instead of hunting through nested folders, your agent finds exactly what you need by scanning your file list.

NEW

Fresh document starts

When you need a new file in a specific spot, the agent places it there immediately.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The agent identifies where files are missing or misplaced, leaving you to make the final decision on major structural changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from scanning your current state to executing your structural changes.

  1. Map the structure

    The agent looks at your top-level and sub-folders to understand how your documents are currently laid out.

    list_folders

  2. Locate specific assets

    It checks the contents of specific directories to find the files you want to move or rename.

    list_files

  3. Build new paths

    If you need a new category, the agent sets up the file in the right place.

    create_file

  4. Verify the layout

    The agent double-checks the folder contents to ensure the new organization matches your request.

    get_folder_content

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my files?

    No. The agent does not have a tool to delete files, so your existing data is safe from accidental removal.

  • 02

    Can the AI rename existing files?

    No. The current tools allow for listing and creating files, but they do not include a tool for renaming them.

  • 03

    How does the AI know where my files are?

    The agent uses list_folders and get_folder_content to navigate your Shimo directory tree.

  • 04

    Will the AI change my folder permissions?

    No. The agent can only interact with the file and folder structure itself, not the security or permission settings.

  • 05

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as your client is MCP-compatible, like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
