📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

The session aimed to refactor and optimize a POSIX-compatible setup script for organizing GPT digests from January to August 2025.

Developed a script to automate the organization of digests by creating structured directories and linking files based on specific criteria.
Optimized the script to use month prefixes in filenames, streamlined arc-hunting logic, and ensured flat, sortable buckets for improved file management.
Implemented a helper function to link files and prefix filenames with the month extracted from their paths.
Addressed a parameter not set error in a shell script by providing two safe fixes to improve script robustness.
Updated directory creation in the shell script by replacing brace expansions with explicit mkdir -p calls.
Revised the POSIX-compatible setup.sh script to enhance symlink management and robustness against empty results from find.

Successfully refactored the setup script to enhance file organization and compatibility.
Improved file management through optimized directory structures and filename prefixing.

Further testing and validation of the script in different environments to ensure compatibility and robustness.
