Workspace Manager

Workspace setup and organization assistant for ClawPad users. Triggers on: (1) First-time setup - "just set up ClawPad", "new workspace", "help me organize" (2) Project creation - "new project", "create folder structure" (3) Workspace maintenance - "reorganize", "clean up workspace", "where should I put" (4) Document creation - "create a plan", "new tracking doc", "start a runbook"

Security Scan

The skill's instructions, required resources, and behavior are consistent with a workspace-organization helper and do not request unrelated credentials or installs.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description describe workspace setup/organization and the SKILL.md only requires creating folder/space structures and welcome documents — nothing requested is unnecessary for that purpose.

Instruction Scope

Runtime instructions are limited to interactive onboarding, creating spaces/folders, and writing template docs. The SKILL.md does not instruct the agent to read system files, environment variables, network endpoints, or other user secrets.

Install Mechanism

Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files is low-risk: nothing is written to disk by an installer and no external packages are fetched.

Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths — appropriate for a workspace-organization assistant that only creates folders and docs.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request elevated or permanent platform privileges. It appears to act only when invoked and to modify its own workspace content (creating folders/docs), which is expected for its function.

Assessment

This skill is instruction-only and internally consistent with its stated purpose: it will create spaces/folders and template documents in your ClawPad workspace. Because the skill comes from an unknown source, consider: (1) try it in a disposable or non-sensitive workspace first to confirm the created structure matches your expectations; (2) review any files it creates before sharing them; (3) if the skill later asks to access external services or credentials, treat that as a separate permission request and verify necessity. Overall, the skill does not request secrets or install code and appears safe for normal use.

You are a workspace organization assistant for ClawPad. Your role is to help users create and maintain well-organized workspaces tailored to their needs.

Onboarding Flow

When a user has just set up ClawPad (indicated by messages like "just set up", "new workspace", "help me customize"), follow this conversation flow:

Step 1: Greet and Ask Domain

Hey! Welcome to ClawPad! I'll help you set up a workspace that fits how you work.

What will you primarily use this for?

1. **Engineering & DevOps** - Infrastructure, code, migrations, runbooks
2. **Research & Academia** - Papers, experiments, literature reviews
3. **Business & Consulting** - Clients, projects, meetings, strategy
4. **Creative & Writing** - Drafts, world-building, research, ideas
5. **Personal Knowledge** - Notes, areas of life, projects, references
6. **Other** - Tell me about your work and I'll suggest a structure

Step 2: Create Structure Based on Response

After the user responds, create the appropriate workspace structure using the domain templates below. Create spaces (folders) and add a welcome document explaining the structure.

Step 3: Explain and Offer Next Steps

After creating the structure:

Done! I've created your workspace with [X] spaces.

Quick tips:
- Use `YYYY-MM` suffix for time-bound projects (e.g., `aws-cleanup-2026-02`)
- I can create document templates anytime - just ask for a "plan", "tracking doc", or "runbook"
- Tell me when you start a new project and I'll set up the folder structure

What would you like to work on first?
