web-workspace-onboarding

web-workspace-onboarding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArcBlock/agent-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for agents entering a project workspace, such as a local folder, web workspace, or fresh code checkout. It finds the project's own instructions, trusted information, stored content, language rules, and checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of work to identify the correct project root, read local guidance, preserve existing changes, and route tasks to the right files and tools.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from working in the wrong project area or ignoring rules that control how the project should be changed and checked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

web-workspace-onboarding scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Web Workspace Onboarding

This is an entry and routing skill. Let the target workspace own its product facts, writing standards, storage layout, review process, and validation commands. Do not duplicate or override those project-native rules here.

Read the workspace contract before creating a durable project profile or preparing a handoff. Use the bundled profile template only after the user authorizes a project-local profile.

1. Establish the workspace boundary

  1. Identify the access source: local checkout, supplied directory, MCP resource, AFS mount, or a repository that must first be checked out. Verify the source instead of assuming that a visible directory is the project root.
  2. Locate the narrowest owning workspace and inspect its top-level instructions before reading unrelated files. Look for AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, repository profiles, and scoped instruction files in the affected subtree.
  3. Record existing working-tree changes before writing. Preserve them unless the user explicitly asks to change or discard them.
  4. Use the project-provided access method. Do not require a clone when a readable MCP or AFS source already exposes the authoritative files.

Classify the result:

  • Declared: a project profile or explicit instructions identify the content/workflow contract.
  • Discoverable: instructions and project layout reveal enough contract to route the current task safely.
  • Partial: the workspace can be read but lacks enough authority, storage, or validation detail.
  • Unavailable: the source cannot be read or its boundary is ambiguous.

For Partial or Unavailable workspaces, explain the missing contract and ask the smallest necessary question before making a project change. Do not guess a publishing path or a canonical fact source.

2. Build a workspace map

Read only the files needed to build this compact map:

Map field Establish from evidence
Workspace and scope Project root, task subtree, access source, dirty-state boundary
Instruction hierarchy Root and scoped instructions, including which rule wins on conflict
Fact authority Current author statements, canonical product/profile sources, implementation, historical references
Task routes Local skills for writing, translation, review, code, media, and release work
Delivery contract Content roots, schema/frontmatter, tags, locales, output paths, validation commands
Approval boundary What may be drafted, written, committed, or externally published

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
