Clear the desktop that's become a hundred-icon guilt mosaic — the fast triage that empties it today, the honest read of what the desktop was being used for (it's a to-do list wearing icons), and the replacement systems that keep it clear. Use when asked clean up my desktop, my desktop has 200 files on it, why does my desktop keep filling up, or set up a clean-desktop habit. Produces the today-pass, the function-replacement mapping, and the two-minute weekly habit.

# Desktop Zero Skill

A cluttered desktop isn't a filing failure — it's three systems living in the wrong place: a to-do list (files kept visible so they're not forgotten), a working set (the stuff from current projects), and a landing zone (screenshots, downloads-adjacent debris). Sweeping it into a `Desktop-backup` folder treats the symptom and reliably regrows the mosaic. Desktop zero is achieved by *replacing the three functions* with their real systems — then the clear desktop maintains itself, because nothing needs to live there anymore.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The today-pass** — the desktop emptied in ~30 minutes using bulk rules, not item-by-item agony
- **The function read** — which of the three jobs this desktop was doing, and how much of each
- **The replacements** — reminders → the task system; working set → a `Current/` folder or workspace; landings → redirected at the source
- **The weekly two minutes** — the maintenance pass, plus the wallpaper trick that makes clutter visible again
