Workspace Skill

What this does

Runs a 7-question wizard, then scaffolds a complete nested Claude Code workspace at 15-workspaces/<slug>/. The workspace inherits vault context (vault CLAUDE.md, vault skills) and adds its own scoped layer (CLAUDE.md, _meta/, .claude/skills/).

Wizard questions (ask one at a time)

1. Workspace name (human-readable).
2. One-liner: what is this workspace?
3. Primary goal.
4. Expected duration (days / weeks / months / open-ended).
5. Related vault area (validate against 20-areas/; allow "—").
6. Will this workspace have its own people-graph? (y/n — if y, create _meta/people.md in the workspace; if n, omit.)
7. Notion side? (page / none) — only meaningful if the Notion MCP is connected; otherwise answer none. A full "project space" with a child Tasks DB is deferred; you create the Tasks DB manually afterward if needed.

Steps

1. Run all 7 wizard questions. Store answers.
2. Slugify name → <slug>. Confirm with user.
3. Check 15-workspaces/<slug>/ does NOT exist. If it exists, report and stop.
4. Create directory tree:

   15-workspaces/<slug>/
   ├── _meta/
   ├── notes/                  (with .gitkeep)
   └── .claude/
       ├── skills/
       │   └── status/
       ├── agents/             (with .gitkeep)
       └── hooks/              (with .gitkeep)

5. Read templates/workspace-claude-md.md. Substitute placeholders. Write to 15-workspaces/<slug>/CLAUDE.md.
6. Read templates/workspace-readme.md. Substitute. Write to 15-workspaces/<slug>/README.md.
7. Write 15-workspaces/<slug>/status.md:

   ---
   type: status
   date: <today>
   tags: [status, workspace]
   workspace: <slug>
   ---
   
   # Status — <name>

8. Read templates/workspace-orient.md. Substitute. Write to 15-workspaces/<slug>/_meta/orient.md.
9. Read templates/workspace-memory.md. Substitute. Write to 15-workspaces/<slug>/_meta/memory.md.
10. Read templates/workspace-decisions.md. Substitute. Write to 15-workspaces/<slug>/_meta/decisions.md.
11. If wizard answer 6 was y, write 15-workspaces/<slug>/_meta/people.md:

    ---
    type: meta
    status: living-document
    last-updated: <today>
    tags: [meta, people, workspace]
    workspace: <slug>
    ---
    
    # <name> — People
    
    > [!info] Workspace-specific people
    > Vault-wide people live in vault root `_meta/people.md`. This file is for people relevant ONLY to this workspace.
    
    ## Active contributors
    -
    
    ## Stakeholders
    -
    
    ## External contacts
    -

12. Read templates/workspace-settings.json. Write verbatim to 15-workspaces/<slug>/.claude/settings.json.
13. Write 15-workspaces/<slug>/.claude/settings.local.json:

    {}

14. Read templates/workspace-starter-skill-status.md. Write verbatim to 15-workspaces/<slug>/.claude/skills/status/SKILL.md.
15. Notion handoff (OPTIONAL — only if the Notion MCP is connected; use wizard answer 7):
    • If the Notion MCP is not connected, skip this step (treat as none).
    • page: discover Notion Projects database via mcp__claude_ai_Notion__notion-search. Show always-confirm preview:

      Create in Notion → [Projects DB]:
        Name:          <name>
        One-liner:     <answer 2>
        Type:          workspace
      Confirm? (y/n)

      On y: create via mcp__claude_ai_Notion__notion-create-pages. Paste URL into the workspace README's "Workspace-specific Notion" section.
    • none: skip.
16. Orient update: ask: "Add to vault _meta/orient.md under Active projects (tagged [workspace])? (y/n)"
    • On y: append - **<name>** [workspace] — <answer 2> to the Active projects list. Update last-updated:.
    • On n: skip.
17. Final message (exact wording):

    Workspace ready at 15-workspaces/<slug>/.
    
    To activate scoped context: open a new terminal, cd into the workspace,
    and start Claude Code from there. The workspace inherits vault skills
    automatically. Project-specific skills you add to .claude/skills/ will
    register on next session.
    
    Try the starter skill: /status (inside the workspace).

Rules

• Never overwrite an existing folder.
• Notion is OPTIONAL — skip cleanly if the MCP isn't connected; when it is, the write confirms separately from the wizard.
• Vault orient.md update confirms separately.
• Use [[wikilinks]] throughout. Frontmatter related: field must be a YAML list of wikilinks.
• Workspace _meta/ minimum: orient + memory + decisions. People.md is conditional on answer 6.
• All .gitkeep files exist so empty directories survive git add.
