SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Older workflows and prompts may still reference the retired folder-structure skill for codebase organization guidance. This compatibility alias prevents broken invocations by redirecting those legacy requests to the current authoritative skill instead of failing silently or improvising outdated conventions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Legacy Name Redirection: Activates only for the exact legacy name folder-structure or an explicit $folder-structure invocation, then delegates to structure-codebase. - Deprecation Guardrail: Contains no independent architecture guidance and explicitly forbids reproducing the retired protected-domain plus sibling use-cases convention. - Failure Handling: If the sibling structure-codebase skill is unavailable, it stops and instructs the user to install it from citypaul/.dotfiles rather than improvising. - Use Case: A user with an old prompt library types $folder-structure to organize a new project; the alias transparently routes them to the up-to-date structure-codebase guidance. ## Quick Start Invoke $folder-structure and follow the redirect to read and apply the structure-codebase skill for your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use the folder-structure skill for codebase organization?

Invoke $folder-structure and it will redirect you to the structure-codebase skill, which is the sole authoritative source for physical code organization and dependency-boundary design. Follow that skill's instructions and load its references for your project shape.

What replaced the folder-structure skill?

The structure-codebase skill replaced folder-structure as the canonical source for architecture guidance. The old screaming-architecture convention with a protected domain directory and sibling use-cases directory has been retired.

Why does folder-structure not provide architecture guidance directly?

It is a deprecated compatibility alias containing no independent guidance by design. Its only job is to delegate to structure-codebase so that all architecture rules live in one authoritative place and legacy invocations stay consistent.

What happens if structure-codebase is not installed?

The alias stops and tells you to install structure-codebase from citypaul/.dotfiles. It explicitly refuses to improvise or infer the retired conventions on its own.

Can folder-structure be invoked automatically by the AI?

No. It sets disable-model-invocation to true and its policy disallows implicit invocation, so it activates only for the exact legacy name or an explicit $folder-structure invocation.
