--- title: File-System Structure — C:\Users\mclou\ date-locked: 2026-05-28 status: canonical --- # File-System Structure — C:\Users\mclou\ Canonical layout for Rocky's laptop after the 2026-05-28 file-org reorg. This document is the single source of truth — update it when the structure changes. Companion docs: - [[file-naming-conventions]] — naming rules for folders + files - [[file-org-maintenance-schedule]] — recurring upkeep cadence --- ## Top-level layout ``` C:\Users\mclou\ ├── LFCS\ # All LFCS work │ ├── Projects\ # Active + past bids/jobs, one folder per 26XX │ │ ├── 2626-stormwater-pit-peakhurst-mack-civil\ │ │ ├── 2627-airey-park-solutions-plus\ │ │ ├── 2630-erskine-park-solutions-plus\ # NEW (created Wave 3) │ │ ├── 2631-hornsby-field-of-play-solutions-plus\ │ │ ├── 2632-gladesville-frp-461-victoria-rd-tce\ │ │ ├── 2633-tamplin-field-redevelopment-solutions-plus\ │ │ ├── 2635-hammond-canal-bridge-tce\ │ │ ├── 2637-light-horse-park-stage-2-tce\ │ │ ├── 2640-13-mt-erin-rd-stair-install-direct\ │ │ ├── 2641-a14-quadrangle-hoarding-avanti\ │ │ ├── 2642-soak-city-hoarding-sheeth\ │ │ └── 2642-richie-benaud-oval-frp-solutions-plus\ # 2642 collision — see note below │ ├── Reference\ # Rate libraries, standard details, templates │ ├── Operations\ # Internal LFCS docs (Universal Folder Structure, timesheets etc) │ └── Precedent-Lessons\ # Absorbs lfcs-lessons-learned + lfcs-pricing-investigation + lfcs-precedent-staging + lfcs-handoff │ ├── by-job\ # Material routed by 26XX job number (handed off to Wave 3 for promotion) │ ├── lessons-learned\ │ ├── orchestrator-handoffs\ │ ├── pricing-investigations\ │ └── precedent-staging\ ├── RateRight\ │ ├── Marketing\ │ │ └── hostel-campaign-2026-03\ │ ├── Docs\ │ └── Archive\ ├── Inbox\ # Weekly clear-down landing (drop new files here) ├── Archive\ # Anything moved out of active rotation (reachable) │ ├── Old-PS-Scripts-Feb-2026\ │ └── RateRight\ │ ├── Dev-Flask-Prototype-pre-2026-03\ # was RateRight-Dev, locked ACL │ ├── HQ-workspace-2026-03-13\ # was RateRight-HQ │ ├── RateRight-HQ-OLD-DO-NOT-USE\ # was inside Documents\ │ └── Downloads-RateRight-stash\ # was inside Downloads\ ├── _Quarantine_2026-05-28\ # 30-day delete countdown (earliest delete: 2026-06-27) │ ├── _TO_RECYCLE_BIN_2026-05-01\ │ ├── BrokenDownloadsDotDownload\ │ ├── ZeroByteFiles\ │ └── DuplicateZipsAndExtracts\ ├── _BACKUPS\ # Off-tree at C:\_BACKUPS\, not under user home │ └── _FILE_BACKUP_2026-05-28\ # Phase 2 backup snapshot before any moves ├── .secrets\ # Locked credentials (mclou-only ACL) ├── Desktop\ # Mostly clean post-Phase 2 ├── Documents\ # System Documents (junctions + PS profile only) ├── Downloads\ # Browser download landing, post-Phase 2 cleaned ├── tools\ # Local CLIs (Poppler etc) ├── opsman\ # LFCS legacy OpsMan workspace (left at root) ├── opsman-fakehome\ # gws CLI staging for opsman.systems@gmail.com (left at root) ├── ContractorOS-LFCS-Trial\ # Active skills repo (Cowork) ├── rateright-growth-deploy\ # Active code repo (git, VPS auto-sync) ├── rateright-v2\ # Active code repo └── the-50-dollar-app\ # Active code repo ``` System/tool dotfile folders (`.cache, .claude, .config, .docker, .fly, .ssh, .vscode` etc) left at user root — owned by their respective tools, not part of the reorg. --- ## Per-LFCS-job sub-structure Every `LFCS\Projects\26XX-*\` job folder uses this Hornsby-template canonical structure: ``` 2637-light-horse-park-stage-2-tce/ ├── README.md # Status, contacts, scope, programme (see template) ├── _INDEX.md # Auto-generated by gen-index.ps1 ├── _Log.md # Append-only daily log per session ├── 0. AI Context/ # CLAUDE.md, drawings analysis, AI working state ├── 01. Tender Pack (Inbound)/ │ ├── 01a - RFQ + Conditions/ # RFQ, Conditions of Contract, Scope of Works, Addenda │ ├── 01b - Drawings (Issued for Tender)/ # [Asset]\[Discipline]\[Firm]\ structure │ ├── 01c - Specifications/ # [Discipline]\[Asset]\ structure (reversed from drawings) │ └── 01d - Addenda + Clarifications/ ├── 02.

Cost Tracking + CVR/ # Renumbered from 06. (template fix to remove dup 06.) ``` ### Drawing folder hierarchy inside `01b - Drawings` Every drawing path: ``` 01b - Drawings (Issued for Tender)/ Issued for Construction/ # Discipline issue-status (separate axis, parent of asset) [Asset]/ # Community Building / Park / Bridge / Carpark [Discipline]/ # Architectural / Civil / Structural / Landscape / Services [Firm]/ # Costin Roe / Bligh Tanner / Turf Design Studio drawing.pdf ``` **Rule:** discipline ALWAYS above asset. Same firm can appear under multiple disciplines (CORRECT representation of their scope, not duplication). No skipping levels even with 1 firm. ### Spec folder hierarchy inside `01c - Specifications` ``` 01c - Specifications/ [Discipline]/ # Architectural / Structural / Civil / Services [Asset]/ # Community Building / Park spec.pdf ``` **Rule:** discipline first (specs issued per-discipline bundles), asset second. REVERSED from drawings on purpose. No firm folder. ### Commercial docs inside `01a - RFQ + Conditions` Flat folder containing: RFQ, Conditions of Contract, Scope of Works (head-contract SoW, e.g. WT3435), Addenda, Tender returnables, executed contract. **Rule:** commercial ≠ technical. Specs stay separate at 01c. SoW at 01a even if 150+ pages. --- ## Status tracking inside LFCS\Projects\ Each job's README.md leads with: ``` **STATUS:** Active | Submitted | Awarded | Lost | Archived ``` No physical Active\Submitted\Archive folder split — single Projects\ folder + status line. When status changes, edit README, don't move folder. Avoids breaking scripts/shortcuts that reference job paths. ## Drive canonical per bid (2026-05-28 update) Each LFCS bid has **TWO destinations**: 1. **Drive canonical** (Huss's shared folder, Rocky has write access) — customer-facing location. All bid outputs in deliverable format (Excel/PDF/Word) upload here. 2. **Local working dir** at `LFCS\Bids\\` or `LFCS\Projects\\` (structure TBD) — keeps `.md` drafts, working files, AI Context, daemon state. **Same Drive-format rule applies:** Excel/PDF/Word render targets go to Drive. `.md` and source-only artefacts stay local. **The Drive link goes in the bid's `README.md`** under a `## Drive canonical` heading at top. Rocky obtains the link per bid from Huss. See `[[feedback-lfcs-bid-drive-canonical-per-bid]]` for full rule. ## Structure clarification needed (2026-05-28) Rocky's HALT 2 instructions used `LFCS\Bids\2630-...` for the new 2630 skeleton, which conflicts with the locked decision "Single Projects\ + STATUS in README" from HALT 1. Pending clarification — currently 2630 lives at `LFCS\Bids\2630-erskine-park-tbc\` while all 10 other jobs are still at `Downloads\LFCS\Projects\26XX-*\` awaiting Wave 3 promotion. Two possible resolutions: - **A:** standardise on `LFCS\Bids\\` for all jobs (rename `Projects\` plan → `Bids\`) - **B:** keep `LFCS\Projects\\` for all jobs (move the 2630 skeleton from Bids\ → Projects\) Rocky to confirm during Wave 3 dispatch sign-off. --- ## Special notes ### Job 2642 collision Two distinct jobs both numbered 2642: - `2642-soak-city-hoarding-sheeth` (audit identified, Mar 2026) - `2642-richie-benaud-oval-frp-solutions-plus` (new pack 28 May 2026) Either Rocky renumbered or there's a legitimate collision. Both folders kept under different kebab-case suffixes until resolved. **Action:** Rocky to confirm correct numbering during Wave 3. ### Hidden Quarantine / Backup folders `_Quarantine_2026-05-28\` and `_BACKUPS\` start with underscore + date so they sort to top of explorer listings. After 30 days (2026-06-27), Quarantine contents can be deleted. Backups retained until Phase 4 sign-off + a "safe" period of normal operation. ### Repos at user root `rateright-growth-deploy`, `rateright-v2`, `the-50-dollar-app`, `ContractorOS-LFCS-Trial`, `opsman` remain at user root rather than under a `Dev\` umbrella. Reason: VPS auto-sync paths, `lf` PowerShell shortcut, IDE recent-file lists all reference absolute paths. Moving the repos breaks too much wired-up tooling. Revisit later as a standalone task if needed.
