description	Create and maintain module-wise folder structure in Laravel for organizing code by features like Student Management, Staff Management, etc. Includes controllers, models, views, routes, and migrations per module.

Laravel Modular Structure Skill

Package-Based Modular Architecture (RECOMMENDED)

Each module is a self-contained package under app/Packages/. See package-based-architecture skill for detailed implementation.
