Updated: Feb 6
FolderTree.Parser is a folder structure CLI tool designed to keep project directories organized and easy to document.
When working with many tools, scripts, and projects, folder structures tend to grow and become hard to track.
Update (v2.1)
FolderTree.Parser v2.1 extends the original CLI tool with
semantic analysis of file paths and Markdown-based exports.
The update focuses on extracting structure and meaning
from real project folder trees, without changing the CLI-only workflow.
Built to document projects, export folder trees, and keep workflows organized.
What problem does this folder structure CLI tool solve??
Over time, projects accumulate folders that are hard to navigate or document.I needed a simple way to:
see and document folder structures
understand where things are stored
export folder trees into readable formats
recreate project hierarchies quickly
keep structure documentation with comments
What does the tool do?
FolderTree.Parser allows you to:
parse existing directories and export their structure
create folder hierarchies from text-based templates
work entirely from the terminal, without a GUI
No noise. Just a practical tool for structured workflows.
In version 2.1, the tool also supports:
- semantic tag extraction from file and folder paths
- corpus-level pattern detection across multiple files
- Markdown export compatible with Obsidian
- configurable token filters and analysis thresholds
WHAT IS SEMANTIC ANALYSIS IN FOLDERTREE.PARSER?
FolderTree.Parser does not rely on AI or machine learning.
Semantic analysis is based on deterministic heuristics:
tokens are extracted from file paths and evaluated by frequency and distribution across the project structure.
This makes the analysis transparent, predictable, and suitable for long-term project documentation.
MARKDOWN AND OBSIDIAN WORKFLOW
The tool exports `.md` files with file:/// links, which can be opened directly in Obsidian or any Markdown-based system.
Obsidian is used as a reference workflow, but the output remains standard Markdown.
