Included
01Per-project folder structure with raw/edited/exports/assets — works on Mac, PC, or NAS
02Version control naming rules that survive client revisions without turning into v17_FINAL_real
03Archive criteria so old projects move off your fast SSD before it hits 90% full
04Backup workflow tuned to your storage tier (single SSD, RAID, Backblaze, NAS + cloud)
05Tailored to your channel type: long-form YouTube, TikTok stack, podcast video, multi-camera, drone B-roll
06Outputs a one-page operating doc plus a folder-tree blueprint you can mkdir from a terminal or build in Finder

What it does

Your Desktop has 47 folders called 'Project_New_2.' Your last edit cost you 90 minutes because the B-roll lived on a drive that's now in a drawer. This is a content creator file organization system designed for YouTubers and TikTokers running multiple ongoing projects — not a generic 'organize your computer' template. Tell the skill your channel type (long-form YouTube, short-form vertical, podcast video, multi-camera), posting cadence (3x a week, weekly, monthly long-form), and storage situation (single 2TB SSD, working drive plus NAS, working drive plus cloud archive). It produces a YouTuber folder structure for raw footage, edited timelines, exports, and reusable assets — plus a version-control convention that handles revisions without descending into 'final_FINAL_v3_USE_THIS.' You also get archive criteria (when projects move off your fast working drive), a backup workflow matched to your hardware, and a one-page operating doc you can hand a new editor. Not a SaaS. A repeatable system you set up once and the only ongoing cost is the discipline of using it.

Frequently asked

How do I organize video files for YouTube without ending up with 'final_v3_USE_THIS.mov'?
The skill outputs a per-project folder structure (raw / edited / exports / assets) plus an explicit version-control naming convention. Revisions go in numbered subfolders with rules for when to start a new version — no more cryptic filenames. The convention is opinionated enough to survive collaboration.
Does it work for short-form (TikTok/Reels) or only long-form YouTube?
Both. Tell it your channel type and posting cadence — for short-form, the structure is lighter weight, optimized for stacking 3-5 posts per project folder. For long-form, it goes deep on per-episode raw/edited/exports separation.
What if I work across a Mac laptop, an external SSD, and a NAS?
The skill asks about your storage tiers and gives you working-drive vs archive-drive vs backup rules. Working files live on the fast drive, finished projects archive to the slower one, backups follow the 3-2-1 rule. You get a copy/move workflow you can automate later.
Can I just copy a template off Notion or Reddit instead of buying this?
Templates assume your channel matches whoever wrote them. This skill builds the structure around YOUR posting cadence, storage hardware, and channel type — so the system actually fits the way you work instead of breaking the first time you have a multi-cam shoot.
Will it create the folders for me?
It outputs the folder-tree blueprint as both a Finder-walkable structure and a copy-paste terminal command (mkdir -p ...). Run it once and the entire system exists on disk in seconds.

Install — no Terminal required

After checkout you land on a page with a one-click download and a pre-built install prompt. Pick the AI you already pay for — both packages are included, so you can't pick wrong.

Have Claude Pro, Max, or Team?
Copy the prompt, paste into Claude

Copy the pre-built install prompt from the success page, paste it into any Claude Code chat, and Claude installs the skill itself — about 10 seconds. Using the app instead? Drop the downloaded folder into a Claude Project's knowledge and ask Claude to use it.

Have ChatGPT Plus or Team?
Build a Custom GPT — ~2 minutes
  1. Click Download ChatGPT package (included with every purchase).
  2. Unzip it — inside is a SETUP.md and a knowledge/ folder.
  3. Go to chatgpt.com → your profile → My GPTs → Create a GPT → Configure.
  4. Paste the Name, Description, and Instructions from SETUP.md into the matching fields.
  5. Under Knowledge, upload every file in the knowledge/ folder.
  6. Click Create/Save, open your GPT, and describe your task in plain English.

A paid plan on either platform is required — Claude (Pro, Max, or Team) or ChatGPT (Plus or Team). Comfortable with Terminal? A one-line npx skilltree-network install path is available too.
