Implement PostHog reference architecture with best-practice project layout. Use when designing new PostHog integrations, reviewing project structure, or establishing architecture standards for PostHog applications. Trigger with phrases like "posthog architecture", "posthog best practices", "posthog project structure", "how to organize posthog", "posthog layout".

}| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Circular dependencies | Wrong layering | Separate concerns by layer |
| Config not loading | Wrong paths | Verify config file locations |
| Type errors | Missing types | Add PostHog types |
| Test isolation | Shared state | Use dependency injection |
