What is matter-workspace?

A system for keeping separate workspaces for different clients or engagements, called matters. Each workspace stores the files and context for one matter separately from the others.

Use it to create, list, switch, close, or detach matter workspaces while working across multiple clients or projects.

It reduces the risk of mixing information, instructions, or documents between clients and makes it easier to resume work on a specific engagement.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00082	$0.02455
Opus 5.5	$0.00033	$0.00982

Security

Grade A, and why

matter-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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to matter-workspace — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/matter-workspace

Practitioners work across multiple clients and matters. A matter workspace keeps one client or engagement's context separate from every other. This skill manages those workspaces.

Subcommands

/ai-governance-legal:matter-workspace new <slug> — create a new matter workspace, run a short intake, write matter.md
/ai-governance-legal:matter-workspace list — list matters with status and active flag
/ai-governance-legal:matter-workspace switch <slug> — set the active matter
/ai-governance-legal:matter-workspace close <slug> — archive a matter (move to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/ai-governance-legal/matters/_archived/, never delete)
/ai-governance-legal:matter-workspace none — detach from any active matter, work at practice-level only

Instructions

Read ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/ai-governance-legal/CLAUDE.md — confirm the ## Matter workspaces section is populated. If Enabled is ✗, tell the user: "Matter workspaces are off — you're configured as an in-house practice with one client, so the plugin works from practice-level context automatically. If you actually work across multiple clients, re-run /ai-governance-legal:cold-start-interview --redo and select a private-practice setting. Otherwise, you don't need /matter-workspace at all." Don't error — the disabled state is the expected one for in-house users.
Use the workflow below.
Dispatch on the first token of $ARGUMENTS:
- new → run the intake interview, write ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/ai-governance-legal/matters/<slug>/matter.md, seed history.md and notes.md.
- list → enumerate ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/ai-governance-legal/matters/*/matter.md, print a table, mark the active matter.
- switch → update the Active matter: line in the practice-level CLAUDE.md.
- close → move ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/ai-governance-legal/matters/<slug>/ to ~/.claude/plugins/config/claude-for-hk-law/ai-governance-legal/matters/_archived/<slug>/, log the close date in history.md.
- none → set Active matter: to none — practice-level context only.

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.
