What it does

Workspace Status is an agent skill from JetXu-LLM/DocMason. Inspect the current DocMason workspace stage and pending actions from the filesystem and runtime state.

Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `workflow.json`).

It sits in Knowledge Management. The repository describes itself as: DocMason is a repo-native agent that turns your complex office files into a local LLM knowledge base and your second brain. The repo is the app. Codex is the runtime. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Knowledge Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/workspace-status”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run docmason status --json.
  2. Use the reported stage, bootstrap_state, control_plane, and pending_actions as the authoritative workspace status summary.
  3. Do not claim that a knowledge base exists unless status reports it as present.
  4. If the task is ambiguous, interpret pending_actions in context rather than as a rigid universal order.
  5. Return the final status interpretation to the main agent without mutating workspace state.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 37ea2f1. 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 Status loads about 737 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~737

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.

Inspect the current DocMason workspace stage and pending actions from the filesystem and runtime state.

Workspace Status

Use this skill when the task is to understand what stage the workspace is in and what should happen next.

Required Capabilities

  • local file access
  • shell or command execution
  • ability to reason about staged workflow state

If the agent cannot inspect the filesystem, stop and explain that the current workspace state cannot be determined safely.

Procedure

  1. Run docmason status --json.
  2. Use the reported stage, bootstrap_state, control_plane, and pending_actions as the authoritative workspace status summary.
    • use the environment block to distinguish self-contained, mixed, and degraded
    • treat only self-contained as ordinary ask-time ready
      • in practice this is the repo-local steady-state runtime the ask path may trust
  3. Do not claim that a knowledge base exists unless status reports it as present.
  4. If the task is ambiguous, interpret pending_actions in context rather than as a rigid universal order.
    • missing or stale adapter guidance matters only when the current flow depends on generated adapter files
    • missing or stale knowledge-base state matters directly for ordinary asking
  5. Return the final status interpretation to the main agent without mutating workspace state.

Escalation Rules

  • status is descriptive, not reparative. Do not silently switch into prepare, sync, or sync-adapters from inside this workflow.
  • When the workspace is stale or invalid, preserve that distinction instead of flattening it into a generic “not ready” message.
  • When the stage is control-plane-pending-confirmation, preserve that state explicitly and surface the exact pending approval action such as switch-host-to-full-access, prepare --yes, or sync --yes.

Completion Signal

  • The workflow is complete when the main agent has the authoritative workspace stage, environment readiness state, and next obvious actions.

Notes

  • status is derived from the filesystem and runtime state. There is no daemon or database.
  • bootstrap_state is the explicit cached-ready summary for ordinary ask-time reuse.
  • environment.toolchain_mode, environment.isolation_grade, and environment.entrypoint_health are the stable readiness fields for the prepared runtime.
  • control_plane is the authoritative summary for governed waits, approvals, and shared jobs.
  • Pending actions may include prepare, switch-host-to-full-access, sync-adapters, sync, and validate-kb.
  • Control-plane pending confirmations are authoritative status truth, not optional side notes.
  • A staged knowledge base with pending synthesis or blocking validation is reported as knowledge-base-invalid.
  • sync-adapters is an operator-maintenance action, not a universal prerequisite before every ask turn.
