How do I organise folders from Claude or ChatGPT?

Ask the assistant to list, create, rename, move things into or delete folders in a project; deleting is a soft delete that keeps the files at the project root for 24 hours, and restore_folder puts everything back where it was within that window.

The six folder tools

Ask forToolWhat happens
"What folders are in this project?"list_folderslists the folders of a project you can access
"Make a folder called Drafts"create_foldercreates it, optionally inside another folder of the same project
"Rename Drafts to Selects"rename_folderonly the name changes; links and ids stay valid
"Move these three results into Selects"move_to_folderfiles that already exist move; a folder id of none means the project root
"Delete the Drafts folder"delete_folderthe folder and its subfolders go to the trash for 24 hours
"Undo that"restore_folderbrings the folder tree back, including a trashed parent

What a soft delete looks like

Deleting through the assistant cannot ask you "are you sure?", so LUVI made it reversible. The folder disappears from lists at once, but its files are not deleted: they show at the project root meanwhile. Within 24 hours restore_folder puts the folder back and the files return to exactly where they were. After 24 hours the folder itself is removed for good and the files stay at the root.

The same rule applies when you delete a folder in the LUVI library yourself.

Filing new results

When you ask for a generation, name the folder and the assistant passes its id to generate; the result lands inside. The folder must exist and not be in the trash.

Ownership

The tools act only on projects and files you own or were given access to. Assets you do not own are skipped silently rather than moved.

Frequently asked

Does generate put results in a folder?

Yes, if you name the folder: generate takes a folderId. To file results that already exist, the assistant uses move_to_folder.

Can the assistant delete files?

No. The folder tools move and trash folders; the files inside are never deleted by them.

Why did nothing ask me to confirm?

Assistants do not show confirmation dialogs for tools. That is why delete_folder is reversible for 24 hours instead of immediate.
