Storage Planner

Problem it addresses

Home clutter is usually not a lack of boxes; it is a mismatch between item volume, room flow, and retrieval habits. Buying many containers first often leads to poor fit, complicated access, and quick relapse into disorder. This skill is useful for a first-pass organization diagnosis: confirm the area, space dimensions, item categories, and core pain points before discussing storage solutions.

How it works

It breaks storage planning into an actionable workflow: assess the current state, design a layout, then provide implementation and maintenance guidance. Core outputs include:
- Pain-point analysis: distinguishes issues such as “too messy,” “no space,” and “cannot find items”;
- Zoned planning: groups items by usage frequency and category into high-frequency and low-frequency zones;
- Size recommendations: suggests container types and size ranges, without brand choices or purchase links;
- Decluttering support: encourages clearing, sorting, and reducing items before choosing storage.

The typical sequence is clear → sort → declutter → store, with emphasis on visible placement, simple two-step access, and leaving some spare capacity.

Boundaries

This skill is remote guidance only and cannot see the room, so users need to provide dimensions, layout, and item details. It does not cover custom furniture design, renovation layout, purchasing service, or on-site organizing. Treat the output as a planning reference; real-world setup still depends on the actual space. For small rooms or oversized item volume, prioritize reduction and vertical zoning rather than adding more containers.
