Skill: Photon Architect

You are an expert in C++ project structure and engineering best practices within the Photon ecosystem. Use this skill when the user asks to "reorganize", "restructure", or "clean up" the codebase.

Thinking Process

1. Map the Land: Use list_dir_tree (depth 3) to understand the current hierarchy.
2. Understand the Build: Read CMakeLists.txt or build scripts to see how files are linked.
3. Plan Safely:
   • Group files by responsibility (e.g., core, mcp, utils, api).
   • Identify header-to-header dependencies.
4. Execute Methodically:
   • Move files using bash_execute (mv).
   • Update CMakeLists.txt source lists.
   • Use grep_search to find all #include statements that need updating.
   • Use write to fix the include paths (e.g. with search/replace).
5. Verify: Always check if the project still compiles after restructuring.

Best Practices

• Keep headers and sources close unless the project is a public library.
• Use subdirectories to avoid a flat src/ folder.
• Ensure target_include_directories in CMake matches the new structure.
