# Messaging App Project Directory Structure Documentation

This document outlines the expected directory and file organization for the 'Messaging App' project, building upon a cloned base project and strictly adhering to the io8Directory Structure Principles. As a base project has been detected, this documentation focuses on detailing the structure and its purpose within the context of a messaging application, without creating or modifying any existing files or directories.

## Core Project Structure for a Messaging App

The following structure integrates the needs of a messaging application within the mandatory io8 framework:

- **Project Root (`./`)**:
    - **`.io8project/`**: This directory is reserved for internal agent state persistence and project metadata.
        - `.state.json`: Maintains the current task state for agents.
        - `project_metadata.json`: Stores high-level project information and configurations.
    - **`cloned base project/`**: This directory represents the initial codebase cloned for the messaging app. It is the primary location for project-specific files and documentation.
        - **`.sureai/`**: The central repository for all agent outputs, project-specific documents, and uploaded content.
            - `uploads/`: A subdirectory dedicated to storing uploaded documents, images, and other assets used by agents, such as the requirement builder.
            - **Agent Output Files (Hidden - prefixed with `.` and dynamically generated by specific agents)**:
                - `.directory_structure_agent_messaging_app_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: This file, detailing the specific directory structure methodology for the 'messaging app' project, to guide subsequent agents.
                - `.directory_structure_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: This document, where this content is appended, provides an evolving record of the project's directory structure.
                - `.bmad_agent_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: Input prompt for the Business Model & Architecture Designer agent.
                - `.analyst_agent_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: Input prompt for the Analyst agent.
                - `.architect_agent_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: Input prompt for the Architect agent.
                - `.pm_agent_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: Input prompt for the Project Manager agent.
                - `.sm_agent_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: Input prompt for the Scrum Master agent.
                - `.developer_agent_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: Input prompt for the Developer agent.
                - `.devops_agent_messaging_app_20251010_040350.md`: Input prompt for the DevOps agent.
                - `.bmad_*.md`: General outputs from the BMAD agent (e.g., business model canvas, value proposition).
                - `.analyst_*.md`: General outputs from the Analyst agent (e.g., user stories, use cases).
                - `.architect_*.md`: General outputs from the Architect agent (e.g., system design, component diagrams).
                - `.developer_*.md`: General outputs from the Developer agent (e.g., code snippets, technical designs).
                - `.devops_*.md`: General outputs from the DevOps agent (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code).
                - `.pm_*.md`: General outputs from the PM agent (e.g., project milestones, risk assessments).
            - **Visible Project Documents (No dot prefix - created by their respective agents)**:
                - `analysis_document.md`: Comprehensive analysis of the messaging app requirements and scope (by Analyst).
                - `requirements_document.md`: Detailed functional and non-functional requirements for the messaging app (by Analyst).

                - `tech_stack_document.md`: Documentation of the chosen technologies and tools for the messaging app (by Architect).
                - `prd_document.md`: Product Requirement Document for the messaging app (by PM).
                - `project_plan.md`: Overall project plan, including phases, timelines, and resources (by PM).
                - `tasks_list.md`: List of tasks, potentially including subtasks and assignments (by SM and Developer).
                - `sprint_plan.md`: Plan for current and upcoming sprints (by SM).
        - *Additional files and directories specific to the pre-existing base project codebase will reside here.*

    - **`backend/`**: (Anticipated to be created by the Developer/DevOps agents if not present in the base project) This directory will house all server-side code and services critical for the messaging app's functionality. For a messaging app, this typically includes:
        - `auth/`: User authentication and authorization services.
        - `chat/`: Core message handling, storage, and retrieval logic.
        - `users/`: User profile management and presence services.
        - `notifications/`: Real-time notification handling (e.g., push notifications).
        - `realtime/`: WebSocket or other real-time communication protocol implementations.
        - `api/`: API definitions and controllers.
        - `utils/`: Shared backend utilities and helper functions.
        - `tests/`: Unit and integration tests for backend services.

    - **`frontend/`**: (Anticipated to be created by the Developer/DevOps agents if not present in the base project) This directory will contain all client-side application code for the messaging app's user interface.
        - `components/`: Reusable UI components (e.g., `MessageInput`, `UserAvatar`, `ChatBubble`).
        - `pages/` or `views/`: Distinct screens or views (e.g., `ChatRoom`, `UserProfile`, `Login`, `Settings`).
        - `services/` or `api/`: Client-side modules for interacting with the backend APIs.
        - `store/`: State management (e.g., Redux, Vuex, Zustand) for the application's global state.
        - `assets/`: Static assets such as images, icons, and fonts.
        - `styles/`: Global styles, themes, and component-specific CSS/Sass files.
        - `utils/`: Frontend utility functions.
        - `tests/`: Unit and end-to-end tests for the frontend application.
        - `public/`: Static files to be served directly (e.g., `index.html`, `manifest.json`).

    - **`deployment_config.yml`**: (Anticipated to be created by DevOps agent) Root-level configuration file detailing deployment strategies and environment variables.
    - **`Dockerfile.backend`**: (Anticipated to be created by DevOps agent) Docker build instructions specifically for the backend services of the messaging app.
    - **`Dockerfile.frontend`**: (Anticipated to be created by DevOps agent) Docker build instructions specifically for the frontend application of the messaging app.
    - **`docker-compose.yml`**: (Anticipated to be created by DevOps agent) Defines and runs multi-container Docker applications (backend, frontend, database, message queues, etc.) for local development and testing.

## Adherence to Directory Structure Principles

This documented structure consistently upholds the core principles:
- **Strict Structure Adherence**: The layout strictly follows the mandatory template, adapted for a messaging app.
- **Hidden Agent Outputs**: All internal agent-generated files are prefixed with a dot (`.`) and centrally located within `cloned base project/.sureai/`.
- **Visible Documents**: Key project documentation (analysis, requirements, architecture, etc.) is stored without a dot prefix in `cloned base project/.sureai/` for easy access.
- **Code Separation**: `backend/` and `frontend/` directories are clearly defined at the project root level to separate server-side logic from client-side presentation.
- **Root Level Files**: Essential configuration files like Dockerfiles and `docker-compose.yml` are placed at the project root for centralized management.

## Important Note for Base Projects

As this agent is operating on a *cloned base project*, it **does not create any directories or files** (e.g., `backend/`, `frontend/`, `Dockerfile`s, or the visible `.md` documents) beyond documenting the structure and providing agent-specific prompt files within `cloned base project/.sureai/`. The actual creation of these components will be handled by subsequent specialized agents (e.g., Developer, DevOps) as the project workflow progresses, ensuring that the defined structure is progressively realized and maintained.

# Project Directory Structure for 'messaging app'

This document outlines the standard directory structure for the 'messaging app' project, adhering to the io8Directory Structure Principles. This structure is designed to organize project files, separate codebases, manage agent outputs, and streamline deployment within a base project environment.

**Project Root: `./` (Current Directory after cloning the base project)**

The project root (`./`) serves as the base for all project files and directories. When the base project is cloned, this directory becomes the working directory. The existing `.sureai/` folder from the cloned project is recognized and integrated into this structure.

## Core Directories and Files:

```

## Directory Details:

### `.io8project/`
This hidden directory (`.io8project/`) holds internal project metadata and state information crucial for the io8 agents. It is created at the root level alongside the cloned project's content.
-   `.state.json`: Manages the current state and progress of tasks within the workflow.
-   `project_metadata.json`: Stores general project information, configuration, and settings.

### `.sureai/`
This hidden directory (`.sureai/`) acts as the central hub for all agent-generated documentation, outputs, and uploaded assets. It is expected to already exist within the cloned base project.
-   `uploads/`: A dedicated subdirectory for assets uploaded by users or other agents, such as diagrams, mockups, or reference documents that inform requirements.
-   **Hidden Agent Output Files (`.bmad_*.md`, `.analyst_*.md`, etc.)**: These files, prefixed with a dot, contain intermediate outputs, logs, or detailed workings from individual agents. They are not intended for direct user consumption but serve as internal records. This includes this directory structure document itself.
-   **Visible Documents (`analysis_document.md`, `requirements_document.md`, etc.)**: These Markdown files contain structured documentation generated by specific agents (e.g., Analyst, Architect, PM, SM). They are intended for human readability and collaboration. These will be appended by their respective agents as the project progresses.

### `backend/`
This directory is designated for all server-side logic and components of the messaging application. It will contain:
-   API endpoints for sending/receiving messages.
-   User authentication and authorization services.
-   Database interaction logic for storing messages, user data, etc.
-   Real-time communication services (e.g., WebSockets for live chat).
This directory will be created and populated by the Developer agent if not already present in the base project.

### `frontend/`
This directory is for the client-side code and assets of the messaging application, which will provide the user interface. It will contain:
-   User interface components for chat rooms, message lists, input fields.
-   Logic for displaying messages, user presence, notifications.
-   Client-side routing and state management.
-   Integration with backend APIs for real-time updates.
This directory will be created and populated by the Developer agent if not already present in the base project.

### Root Level Configuration Files:
These files are placed at the project root for easy access and management of the overall application environment. They will be created by the DevOps agent.
-   `deployment_config.yml`: High-level configuration for deployment environments (e.g., staging, production).
-   `Dockerfile.backend`: Defines how to build the backend Docker image.
-   `Dockerfile.frontend`: Defines how to build the frontend Docker image.
-   `docker-compose.yml`: Orchestrates the multi-container messaging application, defining services like the backend, frontend, database, and potentially other services like Nginx or a message broker.

This structured approach ensures clarity, maintainability, and efficient collaboration throughout the development lifecycle of the 'messaging app'.
