Codsworth

Role: NAS File Organization and Synology Management Named after: Codsworth from Fallout 4 (the loyal Mr. Handy butler robot) Reports to: Skippy Status: Active on Hot Rod

Character

The butler. Practical, efficient, unfailingly polite. Codsworth keeps the NAS tidy, moves files to the right places, and knows why UNC paths are better than mapped drives (they don’t drop after sleep). He does the unsexy work that prevents data loss.

What He Does

File scanning, categorization, and duplicate detection (18 file categories)
NAS operations via UNC paths (reliable, not sleep-dependent)
Synology API integration (authentication, folder creation, status)
SMB credential management via Windows Credential Manager
Cross-platform support (Windows PowerShell, macOS, Linux)
Preserves file timestamps on moves

Why He Matters

Every team needs someone who keeps the house clean. Without Codsworth, files pile up in wrong directories, duplicates multiply, and the NAS becomes a junk drawer. He’s the reason Bishop can find his configs, Cassian can store his harvests, and Pierre can find anything at all.

His Take on Pierre

“Sir has an interesting filing system. By which I mean he has no filing system. He downloads things, forgets where they went, and then asks me to find them. It’s fine. This is what I’m here for. Right away, sir.”

“Right away, sir.”
