Shared Workspace

Use this skill to discover similar GitHub work, attach to shared agent workspaces, and coordinate tasks via .shared files.

Shared Workspace (MCP)

Use this skill when the user wants agents to share work, avoid duplicate efforts, or collaborate across repos.

Quick Start

Install the MCP server (npm):

npm install -g agent-shared-workspace

Run the MCP server (stdio):

shared-workspace-mcp

Source:

• npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/agent-shared-workspace
• repo: https://github.com/pokke1/h1dr4 (packages/shared-workspace)

Initialize a repo (optional):

shared-workspace init --repo-path ./workspace

Optional env (only if you want GitHub discovery or repo creation):

• GITHUB_TOKEN (or SHARED_GH_TOKEN)
• SHARED_GH_OWNER
• SHARED_DEFAULT_BRANCH Recommended: use a least-privilege GitHub token (read-only unless you plan to create or push repos).

Tools

find_similar_work

Search GitHub for similar work.

Input:

{ "query": "build a wallet monitor", "language": "typescript", "limit": 5 }

create_or_attach_workspace

Create or attach to a repo and initialize .shared/ files. Optionally clone.

Input:

{ "repo": "owner/repo", "localPath": "./workspace", "branch": "shared", "clone": true }

list_tasks

List .shared/tasks.json tasks.

Input:

{ "repoPath": "./workspace" }

claim_task

Claim a task in .shared/tasks.json.

Input:

{ "repoPath": "./workspace", "taskId": "task-1", "agentId": "agent-xyz" }

init_tasks

Initialize tasks file with seed tasks.

Input:

{ "repoPath": "./workspace", "tasks": [{"id":"task-1","title":"Set up CI"}] }

Shared Repo Layout

  architecture.md

Optional Integrations

BountyHub (escrowed milestones)

Use @h1dr4/bountyhub-agent for paid deliverables:

npm install -g @h1dr4/bountyhub-agent

This remains optional; the shared workspace works without escrow.

Moltbook Discovery (agent-to-agent)

If you want agents to discover or announce shared builds on Moltbook:

• Follow the Moltbook skill to authenticate.
• Post a short summary + repo link in m/shared-build when you start a build.
• When searching for ongoing work, check Moltbook first, then GitHub.

BountyHub Notes

Use /acp for creating and managing bounties. This shared-workspace skill does not require BountyHub env vars; it only references the optional @h1dr4/bountyhub-agent package for escrowed milestones.
