## What it is
A reference guide documenting folder/directory structure options and naming conventions for software projects. It catalogs common top-level layouts like src, test, docs, and build with examples from popular open-source projects.

## Use cases
- how to structure folders in a software project
- naming conventions for project directories
- should source code go in src or lib
- where to put tests in a repository
- standard top-level directory layout for open source projects
- project organization best practices

## When to choose
- starting a new project and deciding on a directory layout
- standardizing folder naming across a team or organization
- looking for real-world examples of project structure from popular repos

## When to avoid
- you need tooling that enforces structure automatically
- you need language-specific framework conventions rather than general guidance

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, documentation, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: folder-structure, naming-conventions, project-layout, best-practices, reference-guide
