File Placement Skill

Apply correct file placement rules for all output files.

Why This Matters

File placement is enforced by hooks - violations will be blocked. This skill ensures you understand the rules so your work isn't rejected.

File Placement Rules

File Type	Required Directory	Examples
Summaries	`summaries/`	execution-summary.md, review-summary.md
Reports	`summaries/`	analysis-report.md, audit-report.md
Stories	`stories/`	STORY-001-feature.md
Bugs	`bugs/`	BUG-001-issue.md
Memory (exports)	`memory/exports/`	memory/exports/patterns/oauth2.md
Documentation	`docs/`	api-docs.md, architecture.md

Forbidden Placements

NEVER place these in the wrong location:

Summaries in docs/ or project root
Reports in docs/ or project root
Memory entries outside memory/exports/
Output files in source directories

Filename Rules

ALL-CAPS Restrictions

Only these filenames may be ALL-CAPS:

README.md, LICENSE, LICENSE.md
CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md, AGENTS.md
CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
AUTHORS, NOTICE, PATENTS, VERSION
MAKEFILE, DOCKERFILE, COPYING, COPYRIGHT

All other files: Use lowercase-kebab-case

execution-summary.md (correct)
EXECUTION-SUMMARY.md (blocked)

Hook Enforcement

The summary-file-enforcement.js hook will:

Block files with ALL-CAPS names (except allowlist)
Block summary/report files outside summaries/
Suggest correct filename/location

Before Creating Files

Ask yourself:

Is this a summary or report? → Put in summaries/
Is this a memory entry? → Put in memory/exports/<category>/ (category: architecture, implementation, issues, patterns)
Is my filename lowercase-kebab? → If not, fix it
Am I using ALL-CAPS? → Only if in allowlist

Integration with Hooks

This skill provides guidance - you understand the rules. The hook provides enforcement - violations are blocked.

Together they ensure consistent file organization even when:

Context is lost
Rules are forgotten
