# Protevus Platform Helpers
This directory contains various helper functionalities, tools, and utilities for the Protevus Platform. It is organized into subdirectories to maintain a clear structure and separation of concerns.
## Directory Structure
```
helpers/
├── cli/
├── console/
├── tools/

- Database seeding commands
### tools/
This directory is for larger, more complex helper applications or scripts used in development, testing, or deployment of the Protevus Platform. These tools often combine multiple functionalities or interact with external services.
Examples:

### utilities/
The utilities/ directory contains general-purpose utility functions and smaller helper scripts. These are typically reusable across different parts of the platform and provide common functionality.
