What it does

Manor Workspace Blueprint is an agent skill from manor-os/manor-ai. Use when creating, exporting, hand-authoring, installing, upgrading, reverting, reviewing, or debugging any Manor Workspace Blueprint, especially when Workspace behavior differs from its Blueprint or when workflows, tasks, automations, artifacts, approvals, or runtime requirements are involved.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/runtime-contract.md` and `scripts/check_blueprint.py`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Source-available, self-hosted AI agent workspace for small businesses and lean teams — with BYOK, workflows, tools, and human approvals.

When your agent uses it

  • Debugging any Manor Workspace Blueprint
  • Especially when Workspace behavior differs from its Blueprint
  • Runtime requirements are involved

Example prompts

  • “/manor-workspace-blueprint”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Do not hand-edit a Blueprint as the primary way to design Workspace behavior.
  2. Never claim install/export parity from validate_payload() alone. That
  3. Treat Workflow, Proposal-generated Task behavior, and Automation as separate contracts.
  4. Distinguish portable configuration from runtime state. Do not export or
  5. Any non-empty payload section that the installer does not materialize is a
  6. Natural-language fields (summary, descriptions, prompts, operating-loop

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 140c09a. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Manor Workspace Blueprint loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.9k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 586 words (~1,367 tokens).

“REQUIRED BACKGROUND: Use manor-workspace-architecture first. Map the requested Blueprint change to Workspace runtime nodes and their cross-node contracts before reading or changing export_workspace() or installation logic. Blueprint is the WS-14 portability boundary, not the Workspace architecture itself.”
