folder-org

folder-org is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ruchernchong/claude-kit. It costs 28 tokens per session (511 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for deciding how to arrange project files, components, tests, utilities, and shared code. It covers common layouts for applications and monorepos, which are repositories containing multiple related apps or packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating files, organizing frontend features, structuring backend layers, placing tests and shared types, or arranging a monorepo.
Why use it?
It reduces uncertainty about where new code belongs and helps keep related files easy to find.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

folder-org scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Folder Structure

Core Principle: Colocation

Place code as close to where it's relevant as possible. Things that change together should be located together.

Organization Approaches

Feature-Based (Recommended for Frontend)

Group by domain - all related code in one place:

src/features/
├── auth/
│   ├── components/
│   ├── hooks/
│   ├── auth.service.ts
│   └── auth.test.ts
├── users/
└── products/

Layer-Based (Common for Backend)

Group by technical layer:

src/
├── controllers/
├── services/
├── models/
├── routes/
└── middleware/

Monorepo

apps/           # Applications
├── web/
├── api/
packages/       # Shared libraries (by domain, not language)
├── types/
├── utils/
└── ui/

Where to Put Things

Type Location
Shared types types/ or packages/types/
Utilities lib/ or utils/ (split by domain)
Config config/ or root
Unit tests Colocate: foo.test.ts next to foo.ts
E2E tests e2e/ or tests/e2e/
Mocks/fixtures __mocks__/ or test/mocks/

Naming Conventions

Type Convention
Files kebab-case.ts
Unit tests *.test.ts
E2E tests *.e2e.ts
Schemas *.schema.ts

Anti-Patterns

  • Catch-all files: Avoid utils.ts, helpers.ts - split by domain
  • Deep nesting: Keep < 4 levels, use descriptive names instead
  • Separated unit tests: Don't put all in __tests__/ - colocate instead
  • Language grouping: In monorepos, group by domain not language
  • Bloated barrels: Avoid index.ts with 50+ re-exports

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
