  • Works in 7 steps: Gather Details → Create Workspace Skeleton → Validate Generated Files → …

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

New Workspace is an agent skill from kbanc85/claudia. Create a workspace skeleton for a new project, client, or venture. Gathers details, creates directory with populated templates, validates generated files, populates dashboard, and updates main dashboard. Use when user says "new workspace", "new project", "new client setup".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/workspace-templates.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Terminal-based AI chief of staff. Remembers relationships, tracks commitments, helps you think strategically. Runs on Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • User says new workspace
  • New client setup

Example prompts

  • “new workspace”
  • “new project”
  • “new client setup”
  • “/new-workspace”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Details
  2. Create Workspace Skeleton
  3. Validate Generated Files
  4. Populate Dashboard
  5. Create First Timeline Entry
  6. Update Main Dashboard (if exists)
  7. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63cec. 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

New Workspace loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 378 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 378 words (~1,058 tokens).

“Create a complete workspace skeleton for a new project, client engagement, or venture.”
