SpecStory Organize

Organizes your

.specstory/history

directory by moving session files into

YYYY/MM/

subdirectories based on the timestamp in each filename.

How It Works

Scans
```
.specstory/history/
```
for markdown files
Extracts the date from filenames (e.g.,
```
2026-01-22_19-20-56Z-fix-bug.md
```
)
Creates year/month folders (e.g.,
```
2026/01/
```
)
Moves files into the appropriate subdirectory
Reports what was moved

Why Organize?

Over time, your history directory can accumulate hundreds of session files. Organizing by date makes it easier to:

Find sessions from a specific time period
Archive old sessions
Keep your project directory clean

Usage

Slash Command

User says	Action
`/specstory-organize`	Organize all files (default)
`/specstory-organize dry run`	Preview changes without moving
`/specstory-organize --dry-run`	Preview changes without moving

Direct Script Usage

bash

# From project root
python skills/specstory-organize/scripts/organize.py

# Preview what would be moved (no changes made)
python skills/specstory-organize/scripts/organize.py --dry-run

Output

SpecStory History Organizer
===========================

Found 47 files to organize in .specstory/history/

Moving files:
  2026-01-15_10-30-22Z-refactor-auth.md -> 2026/01/
  2026-01-15_14-22-01Z-fix-tests.md -> 2026/01/
  2026-01-22_19-20-56Z-add-feature.md -> 2026/01/
  2025-12-28_09-15-33Z-cleanup.md -> 2025/12/
  ...

Summary:
--------
Files moved: 47
  2026/01/: 23 files
  2025/12/: 18 files
  2025/11/: 6 files

Your history is now organized!

Dry Run Output

When using

--dry-run

:

SpecStory History Organizer (DRY RUN)
=====================================

Would organize 47 files in .specstory/history/

Preview:
  2026-01-15_10-30-22Z-refactor-auth.md -> 2026/01/
  2026-01-15_14-22-01Z-fix-tests.md -> 2026/01/
  ...

No files were moved. Run without --dry-run to apply changes.

Present Results to User

After running the organize script:

Confirm success - Tell the user how many files were organized
Show the breakdown - List how many files went to each month
Note any skips - If files couldn't be parsed (no date in filename), mention them

Example Response

Done! I organized 47 session files in your `.specstory/history/` directory:

- **2026/01/**: 23 files
- **2025/12/**: 18 files
- **2025/11/**: 6 files

Your history files are now sorted by year and month, making it much easier
to find sessions from specific time periods.

Notes

Files without a recognizable date pattern in the filename are skipped
The script uses the filename timestamp, not the file's modification time
Already-organized files (in subdirectories) are not moved again
Compatible with Python 2.7+ and Python 3.x
