Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a few large-scale projects with tons of files coming in daily, and I’m finding it a bit tricky to keep all my Hazel rules organized and manageable. Do any of you have tips or best practices for structuring your Hazel rule sets — maybe using folders, naming conventions, or prioritization strategies? Would love to hear how others handle rule clutter as things scale up. Thanks in advance!

Some general tips:

- Fewer rules the better.
- If you find multiple folders needing the same ruleset, you can either put them under a common folder to share those rules or use rule syncing.
- Make heavy use of pattern matching.
- Make use of lists and tables instead of repetitive rules.

If you post more details about what you are trying to do, I can provide a more specific advice.
