SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

When you reorganize folders in your 04-workspace directory, the workspace-map.md file that AI uses for navigation can become stale, leading to AI being unable to locate your files, losing context, and breaking workflow automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 3-Level Deep Structure Scanning: Recursively scans your 04-workspace/ folder up to 3 levels deep to capture all folders, subfolders, and key files.
  • Automated Discrepancy Detection: Compares the actual folder structure against your documented workspace-map.md to identify missing, stale, or misaligned entries.
  • Guided Update Workflow: Walks you through updating the map with folder descriptions to restore accurate AI navigation. For example, if you add a new "client-deliverables/" subfolder to an existing client folder, this skill will detect the undocumented entry and prompt you to add a description so AI can find it in future sessions.

Quick Start

Say "validate workspace map" to scan your workspace structure and update workspace-map.md if any discrepancies are found.

Frequently Asked Questions about update-workspace-map

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why does AI navigation fail after I reorganize folders in my workspace?

AI navigation fails because the workspace-map.md file becomes stale when folders move, losing the accurate directory mapping needed to locate files. Validating workspace map accuracy resolves this by detecting structural discrepancies and updating the map.

How do I sync my workspace map to match my current folder structure?

To sync your workspace map, trigger a 3-level deep structure scanning of the 04-workspace directory. This compares the actual folders against workspace-map.md, generates a discrepancy report, and guides you through adding descriptions for undocumented entries.

What is workspace map validation and when do I need it?

Workspace map validation is the process of comparing your documented folder structure against the actual 04-workspace directory. You need it when you add, remove, or reorganize directories to prevent AI context loss and broken workflow automation.

Does workspace structure scanning detect missing subfolders automatically?

Yes, automated discrepancy detection scans up to 3 levels deep to find missing, stale, or misaligned entries. It compares actual folders against workspace-map.md and identifies undocumented subfolders automatically.

What's the best way to fix stale workspace map data for AI navigation?

The best way to fix stale workspace map data is running a guided update workflow that scans the 04-workspace directory, generates actionable discrepancy reports, and prompts you to add folder descriptions for reliable AI navigation.

Are there limitations to folder sync depth when scanning my workspace?

Folder sync depth is limited to scanning 3 levels deep within the 04-workspace directory. Directories nested beyond this threshold will not be captured in the workspace-map.md validation report.
