SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manage and locate the agent engagement workspace by reading and setting workspace.active_skill_workspace in skill-config.json, consolidating paths for all engagement artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Get and set the active workspace with Python scripts to resolve the engagement root.
  • Ensure engagement plans, outputs, and corpus data live under the active workspace rather than inside the agent package.
  • Simplify scripting and cross-project work by providing a consistent workspace resolution mechanism.

Quick Start

From the agent root, run the provided scripts to get or set the active workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions about workspace

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set the active workspace for my Python automation agent?▼

To set the active workspace for your Python automation agent, run the provided set_workspace.py script from the agent root directory. This updates the active_skill_workspace value within your skill-config.json file.

What is agent workspace path resolution used for in multi-project engagements?▼

Agent workspace path resolution locates the engagement root directory so that outputs, plans, and corpus data live under a consistent path rather than inside the agent package. It uses skill-config.json to manage this root for cross-project work.

How do I get the current workspace path in my local agent development environment?▼

To get the current workspace path in local agent development, run the get_workspace.py script. It reads the active_skill_workspace property from skill-config.json to resolve and return the engagement root.

Do I need a skill-config.json file to manage my agent's active workspace?▼

Yes, you need a skill-config.json file containing a workspace object to manage your agent's active workspace. The provided Python scripts read and update the active_skill_workspace property within this configuration file.

Why are my agent engagement outputs saving inside the package directory instead of the workspace?▼

Agent engagement outputs save inside the package directory when the active workspace is not set. Configuring the active_skill_workspace in skill-config.json resolves the engagement root and redirects artifacts to the correct path.
