🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A CLI tool that analyzes file metadata and usage patterns to suggest safe-to-delete AI-generated files.
  2. A file management dashboard that visualizes AI-generated file dependencies and project relevance.
  3. An automated tagging system that labels LLM outputs with project context at the time of creation.
