FAQPage Schema
How do I navigate a monorepo to find frontend, backend, and specs directories?

To navigate a monorepo, you need to map its layout to determine where the frontend, backend, and specs folders reside. Scanning the repository structure locates these key directories and the CLAUDE.md file, enabling safe edits and confident code modifications.

How does mapping repository structure help with refactoring across frontend and backend?

Mapping repository structure helps refactoring by verifying the exact locations of frontend, backend, and specs directories. This ensures changes are applied to the correct files, preventing accidental edits and maintaining structural integrity during cross-functional modifications.

Do I need a specific folder structure to locate CLAUDE.md and .spec-kit directories?

You do not need a rigid folder structure, but the tool specifically looks for /frontend, /backend, /specs, and .spec-kit directories. It scans the existing monorepo layout to locate CLAUDE.md and these key folders regardless of their specific nesting.

What is the best way to find where to write code and reference specs in a monorepo?

The best way to find where to write code is to scan and map the monorepo layout to locate the frontend, backend, and specs directories. This provides actionable guidance on where to place code and how to reference specs during tasks.

Can I use this approach to verify the presence of key directories before making safe edits?

Yes, you can use this approach to verify the presence and locations of key folders such as /frontend, /backend, /specs, and .spec-kit. Confirming these directories exist ensures that navigation and subsequent edits are executed safely within the correct areas.
