Intelligent File Classification

Advanced Content Analysis & Automated File Categorization

Task Overview

Perform comprehensive analysis of files to determine their optimal placement within project directory structures using advanced NLP, code parsing, and metadata extraction techniques. This task transforms manual file organization into an intelligent, automated classification system.

Core Objectives

1. Analyze file content using multi-modal understanding techniques

2. Extract meaningful metadata from various file types and formats

3. Determine optimal placement based on content, context, and project structure

4. Maintain high accuracy through continuous learning and feedback integration

5. Provide transparent reasoning for all classification decisions
