Full file structure

The organization of skeleton is similar to putting WordPress core files in its own subdirectory.

Improvements we made:

cms/ is where the WordPress core lives. It's managed by Composer but can't be put under vendor due to WP limitations.
wp-content/ is stay as usual in the web root folder.
wp-config.php remains in the web root, because it's required by WP, but it only acts as a loader. It defines generic constants which are similar to all environments. In most cases you don't need to edit it anymore.
environments/ is where the environment-specific constants are defined (like WP_DEBUG, etc.).
vendor/ is where the Composer managed dependencies are installed to.
a lot of security .htaccess files/tunings are also added by default.
