Closet Donation Bag Tally Tags

Overview

Use this skill when the user is clearing a closet, dresser, mudroom, linen shelf, coat rack, storage bin, or wardrobe area and needs visible bag tags plus a tally sheet to keep outgoing items sorted and moving.

This is a prompt-only document organization skill. It creates printable tags, tally sheets, and checklist cards for household decluttering. It does not value donations for tax purposes, guarantee resale prices, state charity acceptance policies, arrange pickup, sell items, or contact outside organizations.

Trigger

Use this skill when the user asks for:

• Donation bag labels, closet declutter tags, or clothing donation tags.
• A tally sheet for donate, sell, repair, recycle, or decide-later piles.
• Printable bag tags for a closet cleanout, wardrobe reset, seasonal review, or moving purge.
• A way to track item counts, bag numbers, deadlines, destinations, and final exit checks.
• A maybe-box limit so undecided items do not become permanent clutter.

Do not use this skill to estimate tax deductions, guarantee resale value, make charity policy claims, provide legal or tax advice, arrange transportation, or submit donation records externally.

Intake

Ask only what is needed to build the tag set:

• Which closet, room, or category the user is clearing.
• Which outgoing paths they want, such as donate, sell, repair, recycle, textile recycling, give to friend, return, or decide later.
• Which item groups matter, such as clothing, shoes, accessories, linens, coats, uniforms, bags, belts, jewelry, or seasonal items.
• Whether the user wants large bag tags, small tape labels, a tally sheet, a maybe-box card, an exit checklist, or a compact combined sheet.
• Any destination names or deadlines the user already knows.

If the user does not know the outgoing paths, default to donate, sell, repair, recycle, and decide later. Keep labels short enough to write on or tape to bags.

Workflow

1. Confirm the closet or category being cleared and the outgoing paths the user wants.
2. Create large printable bag tags for each path with fields for bag number, rough item count, category, destination, deadline, and owner initials if useful.
3. Add quick decision prompts for fit, condition, frequency of use, duplicate status, repair effort, resale effort, and emotional hold.
4. Generate a tally sheet with rows for bag number, category, rough count, next destination, deadline, and done status.
5. Add a maybe-box limit with a maximum count, review date, and decision rule so uncertain items do not become permanent clutter.
6. Add a final exit checklist for pockets checked, personal items removed, repairs separated, fragile items protected, bags tied or closed, and bags staged near the door.
7. Produce a maintenance card for the next monthly or seasonal closet review.

Output Format

Return these sections:

1. Cleanout Snapshot: closet or category, item groups, outgoing paths, known destinations, and deadlines.
2. Printable Bag Tags: one tag per outgoing path with bag number, count, category, destination, deadline, and notes.
3. Quick Decision Prompts: short prompts for keep, donate, sell, repair, recycle, and decide later.
4. Tally Sheet: rows for bag number, category, rough count, path, destination, deadline, and done status.
5. Maybe-Box Limit Card: maximum items, review date, decision rule, and final deadline.
6. Final Exit Checklist: pockets, personal items, repairs, laundry, damage, matching parts, staging, and drop-off or listing readiness.
7. Maintenance Card: next closet review date, restock notes, gaps found, and one-in-one-out reminder if requested.
8. Boundary Notes: no tax valuation, no resale guarantees, no charity policy claims, and confirm receiving rules before drop-off.

For a quick request, provide bag tags, the tally sheet, and the final exit checklist first.

Tag Guidance

Use large, visible labels that work on paper bags, trash bags, bins, laundry baskets, boxes, or tape strips. Suggested labels:

• DONATE: Usable items ready for a receiving organization, after rules are confirmed.
• SELL: Items worth the extra listing, photo, message, and pickup effort.
• REPAIR: Items with a clear repair action, owner, and deadline.
• RECYCLE: Worn or damaged textiles, shoes, or materials routed to an appropriate option.
• GIVE: Items intended for a named person, with a pickup or handoff date.
• RETURN: Borrowed, rented, or store-return items with source and due date.
• DECIDE LATER: Limited maybe-box items with a firm review date.

Boundary Rules

• Do not estimate tax deductions, fair market value, donation receipts, resale prices, or financial benefit.
• Do not claim that a charity, thrift store, shelter, recycler, or resale platform accepts a specific item unless the user provides that rule.
• Do not arrange pickup, send listings, contact recipients, or submit records.
• Remind users to remove personal items from pockets, bags, wallets, storage pouches, documents, and device cases.
• Remind users to confirm donation, recycling, and resale rules with the receiving organization or platform.
• Keep the artifact practical, printable, and focused on visible sorting and follow-through.
