This is super nice. Still a few left out but one less is good. Anyone looking to clean up their home directory can use xdj ninja .

This looks useful, thanks

When xdg-ninja encounters a file or directory it knows about, it will tell you whether it's possible to move it to the appropriate location, and how to do it.

The configurations are from the arch wiki page on XDG_BASE_DIR, antidot (thanks to Scr0nch for writing a conversion tool), and crowdsourced by other users.
