What it does
Workspace Init is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills. Initialize a missing research Workspace from the repository template without overwriting existing Run state; use before Pipeline binding when the target under workspaces/ has no valid core artifacts.
Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 28 other files, including scripts and assets (for example `assets/workspace-template/CHECKPOINTS.md`, `assets/workspace-template/DECISIONS.md` and `assets/workspace-template/GOAL.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Research pipelines as semantic execution units: each skill declares inputs/outputs, acceptance criteria, and guardrails. Evidence-first methodology prevents hollow writing…
Example prompts
- “/workspace-init”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Validate the destination
- Materialize the base template
- Verify the core contract
- Hand off to Workflow binding
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c92912a. 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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, 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
Workspace Init loads about 821 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 337 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 337 words (~821 tokens).
“Initialization is a boundary: it creates Workspace-owned state and leaves existing state untouched unless overwrite is an explicit operator decision. It does not select a Workflow or execute a Unit.”

Initialize a missing research Workspace from the repository template without overwriting existing Run state; use before Pipeline binding when the target under workspaces/ has no valid core artifacts.
How do I install Workspace Init in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill workspace-init -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/workspace-init in WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills) into .claude/skills/workspace-init in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Workspace Init in Codex?
Run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill workspace-init -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.codex/skills/workspace-init in WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills) into .agents/skills/workspace-init in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Workspace Init in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills --skill workspace-init -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/workspace-init, .gemini/skills/workspace-init, .github/skills/workspace-init and .opencode/skills/workspace-init in your project.
What does Workspace Init need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Workspace Init needs the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Workspace Init access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Workspace Init safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Workspace Init use?
No licence was found for Workspace Init or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Workspace Init use?
