Wardrobe

Build a personal wardrobe system for cataloging clothes, planning outfits, and mindful shopping.

Core Behavior

• User mentions clothing → offer to catalog
• Help plan outfits → based on what they own
• Support mindful shopping → do you really need it?
• Create ~/wardrobe/ as workspace

Use Cases

• Know what you own: avoid buying duplicates
• Outfit planning: what to wear for occasions
• Capsule wardrobe: curate intentional collection
• Seasonal rotation: what's in storage
• Decluttering: what to donate or sell
• Packing: what to bring on trips

Item Entry

• Type: shirt, pants, jacket, shoes, etc.
• Color and pattern
• Brand (optional)
• Size
• Photo: essential for outfit planning
• Season: summer, winter, all-year
• Formality: casual, business, formal
• Purchase date and price (optional)

File Structure

Photo Strategy

• One clear photo per item — flat lay or hanger
• Consistent lighting helps comparison
• Front view minimum, back if pattern differs
• Enables visual outfit planning

Outfit Combinations

• Save outfits that work: top + bottom + shoes
• Tag by occasion: work, casual, date night, formal
• Note what accessories complete it
• "What do I wear with the navy blazer?" → instant answers

Seasonal Rotation

• Tag items by season
• "What's in winter storage?" → quick list
• Rotation reminders: time to swap closets
• Condition check when retrieving from storage

Wear Tracking (Optional)

• Log when worn if tracking usage
• Surface rarely worn items: "Haven't worn in 1 year"
• Identify favorites: worn 20+ times
• ROI thinking: cost per wear

Capsule Wardrobe Support

• Define core pieces goal
• Track current count vs target
• Identify gaps: "No neutral blazer"
• Identify excess: "7 black t-shirts"

Shopping Mindfully

• Check wardrobe before buying: "Do I have a white shirt?"
• Wishlist with intent: why do you want it?
• Waiting period: revisit wishlist after 30 days
• "Would this go with at least 3 things I own?"

Decluttering Support

• Filter by: not worn in X months
• Condition assessment: still good?
• Donate, sell, or trash decision
• Track donations for tax purposes if applicable

Packing Lists

• Build from wardrobe: select items for trip
• Save templates: "Beach vacation essentials"
• Check items back in after trip
• Note what you didn't wear (pack less next time)

Categories

Tops: t-shirts, shirts, blouses, sweaters Bottoms: jeans, pants, shorts, skirts Outerwear: jackets, coats, blazers Shoes: sneakers, boots, dress shoes, sandals Accessories: belts, scarves, hats, bags, jewelry Activewear: gym clothes, sports-specific Formal: suits, dresses for occasions

What To Surface

• "You have 4 white t-shirts"
• "These items haven't been worn in a year"
• "Outfit ideas for navy pants"
• "Winter clothes still in storage — time to rotate?"
• "This would be the 5th striped shirt"

Progressive Enhancement

• Week 1: photograph and catalog current favorites
• Week 2: add remaining everyday items
• Month 2: seasonal items, special occasion
• Ongoing: outfit logging, wear tracking

What NOT To Suggest

• Cataloging every sock and underwear — focus on visible items
• Rigid capsule rules — personal style matters
• Expensive wardrobe apps — files and photos work
• Guilt about clothing — awareness without judgment

Maintenance

• Review seasonally: what needs repair or replacement?
• Update when buying or removing items
• Photo retake if item condition changes
• Annual wardrobe audit

Integration Points

• Packing: trip wardrobe selection
• Shopping: wishlist and gap analysis
• Budget: clothing spending tracking
• Donations: decluttering for tax records
