What it does
Workspace is an agent skill from aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Read and write files in the shared session workspace. Use this to access files created by any skill — code-agent outputs, office documents, images, and more. All within the same isolated session.
Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office. It works with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Reference architecture for agentic AI chatbots with Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Documents & Office work in your project
Example prompts
- “/workspace”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6dd9d13. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Workspace loads about 721 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
The full file from aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore at commit 6dd9d13, republished under its MIT licence (© aws-samples). 257 words, ~721 tokens.

- description
- Read and write files in the shared session workspace. Use this to access files created by any skill — code-agent outputs, office documents, images, and more. All within the same isolated session.
Workspace
Provides unified read/write access to all files in the current session. The userId and sessionId are injected automatically — you only specify the logical path.
Path Conventions
| Prefix | What it accesses |
|---|---|
uploads/<file> | Files uploaded by the user |
code-agent/<file> | Files created by the code agent (auto-synced) |
code-interpreter/<file> | Files created in the Code Interpreter workspace |
documents/powerpoint/<file> | PowerPoint presentations |
documents/word/<file> | Word documents |
documents/excel/<file> | Excel spreadsheets |
documents/image/<file> | Images from other tools |
Note: Files written under
/mnt/workspacepersist for the chat session, and user uploads are available under/mnt/workspace/inputs. Code Agent downloads session uploads into its own working directory when delegated.
Usage
See everything in the session:
workspace_list()
workspace_list("uploads/")
workspace_list("code-agent/")Read a file the code agent created:
workspace_read("uploads/data.jsonl") # uploaded structured data
workspace_read("code-agent/calculator.png") # binary → base64
workspace_read("code-agent/report.md") # text → stringPass a file from one skill to another:
result = workspace_read("documents/excel/data.xlsx") # encoding: base64
workspace_write("code-agent/data.xlsx", result["content"], encoding="base64")Notes
- Text files return
encoding: "text"with plain string content. Large text reads are bounded; whentruncatedis true, use Code Interpreter for the complete file instead of repeatedly reading it into model context. Code Interpreter uses/mnt/workspace/inputs/<file>. - JSON, JSONL, and NDJSON uploads are text files; large chat attachments may
be truncated in model context, but the complete file remains under
uploads/ - Binary files (images, Office docs, PDF, etc.) return
encoding: "base64" workspace_writeaccepts both encodings — use"base64"for binary- Files written here are immediately available to all other skills in the session
UI Guidance (from tools-config)
Path conventions (userId/sessionId injected automatically):
uploads/<file>— files uploaded by the usercode-agent/<file>— files from the code agentdocuments/powerpoint/<file>— PowerPointdocuments/word/<file>— Worddocuments/excel/<file>— Exceldocuments/image/<file>— images
Binary vs text: images/PDFs/Office files are returned base64-encoded (encoding: "base64"); use the same encoding when writing them back.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/workspace, .gemini/skills/workspace, .github/skills/workspace and .opencode/skills/workspace in your project.
What does Workspace need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Workspace is instructions for the agent only.
Does Workspace access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Workspace safe to install?
