The AI generated docs definitely need work - a lot of volume without explaining much. For example, figuring out whether the tool will make the links in the target directory, or replace the source with a link to a moved file, is not immediately obvious.

I'm interested in how using symlinks helped you declutter the file system - doesn't leaving links around in the old place just lead to more clutter? A concrete use case in the readme will also help others better understand the purpose of the project.

Also the sys link created are set to hidden , Hence yes the files will be better organized without clutter. And yes it creates sym link from where you want to move the file NOT where you want to move files . Thanks for the suggestion
