project-structure

To document a repository layout, compile a navigable outline of top-level directories and key files defined in the frontmatter. This outlines top-level folders such as apps/, assets/, include/, src/, docs/, and python/ to orient new contributors and speed onboarding.

The best way to orient new contributors in a large multi-folder Python or C++ project is generating a directory overview. This highlights how major components relate to each other, helping newcomers locate code, assets, and scripts quickly and confidently as the repository evolves.

No dependencies or runtime environments are needed to generate a project structure outline. The process operates with no runtime dependencies, relying solely on the repository layout and key files defined in the frontmatter to produce the navigable directory overview.

Yes, you can use a directory overview to speed up code reviews and plan onboarding for multi-folder repositories. Documenting the layout applies to large projects, helping reviewers and contributors locate code, assets, and scripts quickly and maintain alignment as the repository evolves.

You need to document your repository layout for code navigation when onboarding new contributors, performing code reviews, or planning onboarding in large, multi-folder projects. This maintains alignment and helps developers locate code, assets, and scripts as the repository evolves.
