Adjust the line according to the screen width
I copied a long sentence to org-mode
As I mentioned in the last section, Richard Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Foundation, was more than a programmer. He was an educated social critic, and his vision of the future was to have an enormous impact on the world.
I tried to achieve line-break automatically with auto-fill-mode, but get a result as
How could I enable it to extend and shrink according the the screen width rather than the line limitation of 80 words.

It sounds like you don't want "hard" returns at the end of lines, and you instead just want "soft" returns. That is, you don't want to insert end-of-line characters, such as newline
. You just want lines to appear broken, and you want the apparent line breaks to be just before the window edge. Is that right?
If so, what you want is to just turn on visual-line-mode
in a given buffer -- or global-visual-line-mode
, if you want this behavior in all buffers. (And turn off auto-fill-mode
.)
C-h f visual-line-mode
tells you this:
visual-line-mode
is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
simple.el
.
(visual-line-mode &optional ARG)
Toggle visual line based editing (Visual Line mode) in the current buffer.
Interactively, with a prefix argument, enable
Visual Line mode if the prefix argument is positive,
and disable it otherwise. If called from Lisp, toggle
the mode ifARG
istoggle
, disable the mode ifARG
is
a non-positive integer, and enable the mode otherwise
(including ifARG
is omitted ornil
or a positive integer).
When Visual Line mode is enabled,
word-wrap
is turned on in
this buffer, and simple editing commands are redefined to act on
visual lines, not logical lines. See Info node Visual Line Mode for details.

create a function that sets the fill-mode width to (window-width) and add it to the post-command-hook

An example would make this answer much more useful.
