Folder Structure

FTR-07version 1.0coreskill: folder-structureskill review: unreviewed

In plain words

A standard folder layout for your project (a drop folder, documents, drafts, research, brand, trackers, archive and more), plus extra folders that fit the type of project you have. It only creates what is missing.

Use it to start a project with a tidy, predictable filing system, so you and Claude always know where things go and where to find them.

Technical summary

Baseline project folder layout plus type-specific additions

Install it

Download the skill folder (SKILL.md, with the full spec in references/spec.md), or the zip: folder-structure-1.0.zip (3931 bytes, sha256 6f650a960fe9886f…).

Folder Structure

Depends on: FTR-06 — File Storage & Transfer Rules

What this is

The baseline project folder layout every Claude Project Assistant project uses — drop folder, project cache, docs, drafts, research, brand, trackers, archive, admin — plus project-type-specific additions. This is the skeleton every other feature files into.

Assess first

Ask, only if needed

Nothing to ask — proceed directly to Write. Show the current structure first, then create only what's missing.

Write

Create any missing folders from the baseline below at the project root (create, never overwrite existing content). Then add this section to admin\AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md:

◆ FOLDER STRUCTURE

[Project Root]\
  #drop\                  <- All incoming files land here first
  project_cache\          <- Staging only — flat copy dest for Project Files
  docs\                   <- Final deliverables (track-organized subfolders)
    reference\            <- Strategic docs that don't carry track IDs
  drafts\                 <- Active working drafts (versioned)
  research\                <- Source materials, references
  brand\
    templates\            <- User-supplied document templates
  correspondence\
  trackers\               <- All tracking documents
    data\                 <- SOURCE OF TRUTH — markdown data files
    templates\            <- DISPLAY LAYER — HTML dashboards (generated)
    README.md              <- Explains folder architecture (auto-generated)
  archive\                <- Superseded versions, closed items
  admin\                  <- Agent instructions, profiles, setup logs

REFERENCE DOCUMENTS are strategically important files that inform other
documents and the agent but do not carry track IDs or standard project
numbering (agent instructions, business overview, financial projections,
construction estimates, research reports, session handoff documents, this
document system guide). They live in docs\reference\ and are listed in the
Key Documents section.

Add project-type-specific folders on top of the baseline:

Note: trackers\ and its subfolders are created here, but the tracker README and tracker index are generated by the Document Tracker System feature at first tracker setup.

Confirm

Confirm: your baseline folder structure is in place and documented in the agent instructions. Want to install another, or is that everything for now?
