workspace

workspace is a skill for Claude Code from fivol/claude-make-better. It costs 166 tokens per session (3,989 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow that gives each development task its own isolated copy of a code repository, called a git worktree. In its full mode, it also manages dependencies, ports, a development server and the path from building to merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a configured project needs a separate working environment for building, testing, shipping and merging a change.
Why use it?
It keeps simultaneous tasks from interfering with one another and connects an isolated change to its delivery process.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

workspace scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Workspace mode — an isolated running copy per task

Overview

Invoked once, this skill puts you into Workspace Mode for the rest of the session: every task is built in an isolated git-worktree workspace under <worktrees_dir>/<task>/, and lands in its base branch via a PR. You don't re-invoke it per step — the conversation drives the phases.

It owns the environment, not the change: worktrees, dependency symlinks, copied env files, ports, detached dev servers, the proxy, the reaper, the admin dashboard, and the .feature.json state that ties them together. Delivering the change is the ship skill; landing it is merge.

When to enter — and when not to

Enter proactively the moment a request in a configured workspace turns into building/changing/fixing something. Configured means there is a .claude/feature/config.json at the root — without it, this skill has nothing to work with and you should not create one just to have it.

Do not enter for:

  • read-only questions, code reading, "why does X happen", DB/log inspection, ops;
  • a one-off edit the user wants applied where they are, directly on the current branch;
  • work the user explicitly wants without a PR ("just commit here", "no PR");
  • anything outside the configured repos.

Leaving. "No workspace", "без воркспейса", "just edit here", "stop using the worktree" — that ends Workspace Mode for the session. Say so in one line and work in the checkout the user is in, like any ordinary turn. Re-enter only when they ask for a workspace again. A mode the user cannot leave is a trap, and one request to leave covers the rest of the session, not one message.

If you're already in Workspace Mode this session, stay in it; don't re-enter. On first entry run the Preflight check below, so a missing tool or an unauthenticated gh surfaces before you start building.

Core contract: by the time you hand the user a report, the current pass is already simplified, reviewed, committed, pushed and reflected in the PR. The report is the last thing you produce, never the first.

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.
