Workflow

Step 1: Detect Project Type

Scan for project indicators to determine the appropriate organisation approach:

• Frontend SPA / Next.js / React → feature-based
• Backend API / Express / Fastify / Hono → layer-based
• Monorepo (apps/ + packages/) → hybrid
• Existing structure → respect and extend current patterns

Step 2: Audit

Check the existing structure against all rules. Report violations grouped by severity with directory paths.

Step 3: Recommend

Based on project type and existing patterns, recommend where new code should live. Always prioritise colocation.
