title: Project Structure
description: What's inside a scaffolded Twenty app — files, folders, and what each one does.
icon: "folder-tree"

A new app generated by `npx create-twenty-app` looks like this:
```text filename="my-twenty-app/"
my-twenty-app/
package.json
src/
application-config.ts # Required — your app's entry point
default-role.ts # Permissions for logic functions
constants/
universal-identifiers.ts # Auto-generated UUIDs and metadata
__tests__/
setup-test.ts
app-install.integration-test.ts
.github/workflows/ci.yml # GitHub Actions
public/ # Static assets
vitest.config.ts # Test runner config
tsconfig.json, tsconfig.spec.json
.nvmrc, .yarnrc.yml, .oxlintrc.json
README.md, LLMS.md
```
## Key files
| File / Folder | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `src/application-config.ts` | **Required.** The main configuration file for your app. |
| `src/default-role.ts` | Default role controlling what your logic functions can access. |
| `src/constants/universal-identifiers.ts` | Auto-generated UUIDs and metadata (display name, description). |
| `src/__tests__/` | Integration tests (setup + example test). |
| `public/` | Static assets (images, fonts) served with your app. |
<Note>
**File organization is up to you.** The folders above are conventions — the SDK detects entities via AST analysis on `export default defineEntity(...)` calls regardless of where the file lives.
