5-step AI chain

How AI reasons about an unknown folder

The client sends only redacted structural evidence. The model runs a 5-step chain — with a heuristic fallback when the backend is unreachable.

01

Identify

What is it — a project, a container, a media library, a cache?

02

Regenerability

Where the bytes come from: re-downloadable, rebuildable, or the source itself.

03

Cost of deleting

What you lose if it's gone, and how easily it comes back.

04

Verdict

Sorted into cleanable, confirm, or not recommended.

05

Ask you

One question that clears up the uncertainty.

Three verdicts — the riskier, the more restrained

Every item lands on a clear action level, keeping the decision — and the safety boundary — with you.

checked by default

cleanable

Safe to free with no regenerability concerns — delete and reclaim the space with confidence.

unchecked by default

confirm

Carries some cost or uncertainty — read the explanation and check it yourself before it runs.

locked

not recommended

Judged high-cost or non-regenerable — locked in the UI, explained but never deletable.
