workspace

workspace is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bks-lab/open-bridge. It costs 190 tokens per session (1,885 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workspace manager that groups code repositories and configuration overlays under one named project identity. It keeps shared identity information separate from the local clones and lockfiles used in a particular repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and subscribe to workspaces, bind repositories and configuration, materialize clones, track resolved Git revisions, and manage organization overlays.
Why use it?
It gives different conforming tools a common understanding of which project is being worked on. It also records exact repository versions and protects public forks from unwanted local configuration changes.

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

workspace 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 4d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Workspace — bind repos + config into one named project container

A workspace is a named project identity that pulls together the code repos and config overlays you work on as one unit. It has two disjoint halves:

  • Identity (which project is this) — name, member roots, git remotes — lives in the machine-global shared registry ~/.workspaces/workspaces.json, a tool-neutral file any conformant tool can read/write under a documented lock + atomic-replace protocol. This is how a workspace means the same thing across tools on the machine.
  • Materialization (how does THIS repo realise it) — the actual clones, the resolved-SHA lockfile, the fork-safety exclude block — is repo-local and never leaves the repo.

The engine is scripts/workspace.py (standalone, stdlib-only) — a shared repo-root utility shipped with the Bridge repo itself, not a file inside this skill's own directory. This skill is the /workspace surface over it. Run the referenced file ONLY when the decision tree sends you there.

/workspace is the umbrella; for the deep org-overlay subscription flow (manifest validation, per-file plan, 3-way merge, sync/diff) it delegates to and cross-references /overlay (the bridge-overlay skill). Binding a config overlay via workspace subscribe … --role config calls that same engine (overlay.py) under the hood.

When to use

  • "Make a workspace for project X" → create
  • "Add this repo to the workspace" / "bind these repos together" → subscribe … --role code
  • "Pull the org's shared config into this workspace" → subscribe … --role config (delegates to /overlay)
  • "What workspaces do I have / are the members drifted?" → list / status
  • "Drop a repo / overlay from the workspace" → unsubscribe

NOT for:

  • Managing an org overlay subscription on its own (manifest, sync, diff, authoring) → /overlay (bridge-overlay)
  • Pushing YOUR changes upstream → /promote, /bridge-sync
  • A knowledge-base index over a folder → a provider skill, if your instance ships one (unrelated to this "workspace")

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.

workspace is a skill published in the GitHub repository bks-lab/open-bridge (8 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 190 tokens to every session and 1,885 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
