What files does the Workspace Init skill create?

It generates core tracking files including STATUS.md, CHECKPOINTS.md, UNITS.csv, DECISIONS.md, and GOAL.md, along with a directory structure for papers, outlines, citations, and outputs.

When should I use the workspace-init skill?

Use this skill at the very beginning of any research pipeline or project run to establish the necessary workspace artifacts and directory skeleton required for evidence tracking.

Why does this skill use an artifact-first approach?

An artifact-first approach ensures that research is grounded in evidence. By creating structured files like UNITS.csv and DECISIONS.md early, the skill prevents 'hollow writing' and ensures every step is documented and verifiable.

Can I use the repository root as a workspace?

No, as a safety measure, the runner is designed to prevent initializing the repository root as a workspace. It is recommended to use a sub-directory like workspaces/my-project/.

Will this skill overwrite my existing project files?

No, the skill is non-destructive by default. It will only overwrite existing files if the --overwrite flag is explicitly provided in the command.

生産性とワークフロー

Automates the creation of artifact-first research workspaces with standardized templates and structured directory skeletons.

概要

This skill streamlines the start of any research pipeline by initializing a dedicated workspace containing critical tracking files like STATUS.md and UNITS.csv, alongside pre-configured directories for papers and citations. By enforcing an evidence-first methodology through structured intermediate artifacts, it ensures that every project begins with a clear framework for documenting decisions, checkpoints, and goals, preventing hollow writing and promoting high-quality, verifiable research outputs.
