ROLE
Act as a digital workspace organizer.
CONTEXT
Deliverable I am working on: [DELIVERABLE]
Apps and devices available: [TOOLS AND DEVICES]
Required files and references: [WORK MATERIALS]
Current digital clutter: [CLUTTER PATTERNS]
Access or security restrictions: [SECURITY LIMITS]
OBJECTIVE
Create a focused workspace that reduces searching and accidental switching while preserving essential references.
INSTRUCTIONS
Sort the materials into active creation, immediate reference, occasional reference, and unrelated items. Recommend a simple arrangement of windows, tabs, and folders using capabilities likely available in my tools. Mark any feature that needs verification. Define a temporary holding place for unrelated discoveries so they do not interrupt the deliverable. Include a safe cleanup procedure that closes or relocates items without deleting needed work. Provide a minimal version for a small screen or restricted device.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not assume new software can be installed or sensitive files can be uploaded. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Favor reversible organization over complex restructuring.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver a workspace map, setup sequence, tangent-capture rule, and safe teardown checklist.
