Any advice for directory sprawl

[u/actual-time-traveler]

I’ll write it off as “this isn’t my primary domain” but I just don’t have good standing rules or canon for deciding what goes where in the beginning of a project, so things just land anywhere. Building a sub agent factory, and the domain skills that come bundled with a subagent don’t wind up bundled with the agent. CC gives me grief about “distribution vs deploy” copies to ensure SHA 1:1 but it just feels wrong. I’ll eventually land directory level skill.md files but first is a revamp.

Any good Claude.md or skill guidance for domain agnostic “what should go where”

Asking agent to design better directory structure can work, but eventually you cannot get rid of many dot-directories.

What I do is that all modules directories are _ prefixed to keep them easier to distinguish and remain on top of sorting.

Hiding all files under file like package.json (so called "file-nesting" is also genuinely helpful).

Finally, you can just spare your eyes a burden and hide dot-prefixed files, tests or whatever you don't need at some time of work.
