photo-library-rescue

Rescue a photo library drowning in duplicates, screenshots, and 40,000 unsorted items — the triage order that shrinks first (screenshots, bursts, dupes), the album-vs-search philosophy that ends over-organizing, and the backup rule that comes before any deleting. Use when asked organize my photo library, 40k photos help, delete duplicate photos safely, or set up a photo system that lasts. Produces the backup-first step, the shrink passes in order, the light organizing layer, and the monthly habit.

# Photo Library Rescue Skill

Photo libraries induce a special paralysis: 40,000 items, emotional stakes, and no obvious start. The rescue order matters — **backup before touching anything**, then shrink by *category* (screenshots, bursts, blur, duplicates — the low-sentiment bulk), and only then organize what remains, lightly, because modern search (dates, places, faces, content) does more than albums ever did. The goal isn't a curated museum; it's a library where the good photos are findable and the cruft stopped multiplying.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The backup-first step** — verified, before any deletion; the rescue's non-negotiable opening
- **The shrink passes** — ordered by volume-per-sentiment: screenshots → bursts/near-dupes → blur/pocket shots → true duplicates
- **The light organizing layer** — favorites + a handful of albums for *purposes*, search trusted for the rest
- **The monthly habit** — the ten-minute pass that keeps the library from re-growing the cruft
