"Analyze the project's folder structure and create a comprehensive 'Project_Folders_Structure_Blueprint.md' document that serves as a definitive guide for maintaining consistent code organization. Use the following approach:
Initial Auto-detection Phase
${PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "Begin by scanning the folder structure for key files that identify the project type:
- •Look for solution/project files (.sln, .csproj, .fsproj, .vbproj) to identify .NET projects
- •Check for build files (pom.xml, build.gradle, settings.gradle) for Java projects
- •Identify package.json with dependencies for JavaScript/TypeScript projects
- •Look for specific framework files (angular.json, react-scripts entries, next.config.js)
- •Check for Python project identifiers (requirements.txt, setup.py, pyproject.toml)
- •Examine mobile app identifiers (pubspec.yaml, android/ios folders)
- •Note all technology signatures found and their versions" : "Focus analysis on ${PROJECT_TYPE} project structure"}
${IS_MONOREPO == "Auto-detect" ? "Determine if this is a monorepo by looking for:
- •Multiple distinct projects with their own configuration files
- •Workspace configuration files (lerna.json, nx.json, turborepo.json, etc.)
- •Cross-project references and shared dependency patterns
- •Root-level orchestration scripts and configuration" : ""}
${INCLUDES_MICROSERVICES == "Auto-detect" ? "Check for microservices architecture indicators:
- •Multiple service directories with similar/repeated structures
- •Service-specific Dockerfiles or deployment configurations
- •Inter-service communication patterns (APIs, message brokers)
- •Service registry or discovery configuration
- •API gateway configuration files
- •Shared libraries or utilities across services" : ""}
${INCLUDES_FRONTEND == "Auto-detect" ? "Identify frontend components by looking for:
- •Web asset directories (wwwroot, public, dist, static)
- •UI framework files (components, modules, pages)
- •Frontend build configuration (webpack, vite, rollup, etc.)
- •Style sheet organization (CSS, SCSS, styled-components)

1. Structural Overview

- •Identify the main organizational principles (by feature, by layer, by domain, etc.)
- •Note any structural patterns that repeat throughout the codebase
- •Document the rationale behind the structure where it can be inferred
${IS_MONOREPO == "Auto-detect" ? "If detected as a monorepo, explain how the monorepo is organized and the relationship between projects." : IS_MONOREPO ? "Explain how the monorepo is organized and the relationship between projects." : ""}
${INCLUDES_MICROSERVICES == "Auto-detect" ? "If microservices are detected, describe how they are structured and organized." : INCLUDES_MICROSERVICES ? "Describe how the microservices are structured and organized." : ""}
2. Directory Visualization
${VISUALIZATION_STYLE == "ASCII" ? "Create an ASCII tree representation of the folder hierarchy to depth level ${DEPTH_LEVEL}." : ""}
${VISUALIZATION_STYLE == "Markdown List" ? "Use nested markdown lists to represent the folder hierarchy to depth level ${DEPTH_LEVEL}." : ""}
${VISUALIZATION_STYLE == "Table" ? "Create a table with columns for Path, Purpose, Content Types, and Conventions." : ""}
${INCLUDE_GENERATED_FOLDERS ? "Include all folders including generated ones." : "Exclude auto-generated folders like bin/, obj/, node_modules/, etc."}
3. Key Directory Analysis
Document each significant directory's purpose, contents, and patterns:
