 Items at the root level (no indentation / no parent) are created directly inside the target directory.
 
+### Symlinks
+
+Use `link-name -> target` to create a symlink. The target is passed as-is to the OS — use paths relative to the symlink's location, just as you would in a shell.
+
+```
+my-project/
+  src/
+    index.ts
+    utils -> ../shared/utils.ts   # symlink to a sibling directory
+  shared/
+    utils.ts
+```
+
+If `target` ends with `/`, the symlink is created as a directory symlink (relevant on Windows). The link name's suffix is ignored.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> If any symlink target resolves outside the project root (`--path`), `touch-all` will prompt for confirmation before proceeding. Use `--yes` to skip the prompt in scripts or CI.
