metagit-workspace-scope

metagit-workspace-scope is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from metagit-ai/metagit-cli. It costs 42 tokens per session (895 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workspace-scoping skill for projects spread across multiple repositories. It identifies the active projects, repository boundaries, synchronization state, and the part of the workspace relevant to the current task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting multi-repository work to gather workspace context, run status and boundary checks, and provide that context to an orchestrator.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from editing the wrong repository or working outside the requested scope.

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

metagit-workspace-scope 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 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.

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.

Discovering Workspace Scope

Use this skill at session start for workspace-aware tasks. Prefer metagit-context-pack for the full tiered pack workflow; this skill focuses on scope boundaries and Hermes wiring.

Workflow

  1. Run context pack (tier 0 minimum, tier 2 at session open):
export METAGIT_AGENT_MODE=true
metagit context pack --tier 2 --json -c .metagit.yml
metagit prompt workspace -k session-start --text-only -c .metagit.yml
  1. Run workspace gate and status checks.
  2. Build a compact map of active project names, repo names, and sync state from pack JSON.
  3. Report a bounded scope for the current objective.

Hermes session bootstrap

Wire into Hermes (or any orchestrator) before the first tool call on a workspace task.

export METAGIT_AGENT_MODE=true
PACK_JSON="$(metagit context pack --tier 2 --json -c .metagit.yml)"
PROMPT_TEXT="$(metagit prompt workspace -k session-start --text-only -c .metagit.yml)"
Integration point What to inject
Hermes system / bootstrap template PROMPT_TEXT verbatim; summarize PACK_JSON map + health flags
Pre-turn shell hook Run commands; append stdout to conversation context
Subagent dispatch Tier-1 pack scoped with --project/--repo + subagent-handoff prompt
MCP-connected Hermes metagit_context_pack tier 2, then workspace resources

Token-tight alternative: tier 0 pack + session-start prompt only.

See metagit-context-pack for tier escalation, objectives, approvals, and repomix.

Commands

Gate check (pick one):

SKILL_ROOT="$(python3 -c "import metagit, pathlib; print(pathlib.Path(metagit.__file__).parent / 'data/skills/metagit-gating')")"
"$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/gate-status.sh" [root_path]
# inline fallback:
metagit mcp serve --status-once --root .

Scope discovery:

metagit context pack --tier 1 --json -c .metagit.yml
metagit workspace list -c .metagit.yml --json
metagit search "<query>" -c .metagit.yml --json

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.
