SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

EvoNexus users often get stuck on first launch because they don’t know which agents, skills, and workspace structure are already installed or how to get productive immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

Dynamic workspace bootstrapping: Discovers installed agents from .claude/agents/*.md, parses each agent’s working folder instructions, and creates the corresponding workspace/{folder}/ structure without hardcoding names.
Localized overview generation: Reads config/workspace.yaml to determine workspace.language and writes translated overview files for each created folder, while never overwriting existing files.
Personalized “what’s already customized” summary: Surfaces pending _improvements.md notes, memory depth via MEMORY.md indexes, and detects custom agents/skills/commands and orphaned workspace folders.

Quick Start

Say “get started” to trigger workspace discovery, bootstrap missing folders, generate overviews, and receive a personalized summary of what’s already been customized.

FAQPage Schema

How do I set up a multi-agent workspace in Claude Code for the first time?▼

Workspace setup scans .claude/agents/*.md, parses working folder instructions, and automatically creates the required workspace directory structure with localized overview documentation to onboard you in minutes.

What is workspace bootstrapping and how does it discover installed agents?▼

Workspace bootstrapping dynamically discovers installed agents by reading frontmatter and working folder instructions from .claude/agents/*.md files, then safely creates corresponding workspace folders without hardcoding names or overwriting existing files.

How do I generate localized overview documentation for my workspace folders?▼

By reading config/workspace.yaml to determine workspace.language, the onboarding process generates translated overview files for each created folder while ensuring existing files are never overwritten during the setup process.

Does the workspace onboarding process overwrite existing folders or files?▼

No, the onboarding process safely creates missing folders and .gitkeep files without overwriting existing content, preserving your current workspace structure and previously generated overview documentation.

How do I check what agents, skills, and routines are already customized in my workspace?▼

The setup process generates a personalized summary surfacing pending _improvements.md notes, memory depth via MEMORY.md indexes, and detects custom agents, skills, commands, and orphaned workspace folders.

Can I trigger workspace discovery automatically when opening Claude Code?▼

Yes, dynamic workspace discovery applies during first-time onboarding when Claude Code is opened in an EvoNexus workspace, or when you explicitly ask for help getting started with your environment.
