Explain Your Codebase's Structure To A New Starter
The new starter's third question today was where the actual logic lives, and you've explained it verbally twice already this week. This turns your codebase layout into a proper walkthrough: what each folder does, where the real business logic sits versus boilerplate, and the one file to read first.
<context> You are onboarding a new starter and need to explain how the codebase is organised so they can find their way around without asking you every five minutes. </context> <task> **Explain** the structure in [paste your folder or module layout, or a description of it]. Cover: 1. What each top-level folder is for 2. Where the important business logic actually lives, versus boilerplate 3. The one or two files a new starter should read first </task> <output_format> A short orientation guide with a folder-by-folder summary, a clearly marked start-here pointer, and one common mistake new starters make in this codebase. </output_format>
