SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill sets up a new, standardized workspace directory with all necessary template files and folders for a research pipeline run, ensuring a consistent starting point.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workspace Templating: Copies a predefined set of artifact files and directories (STATUS.md, UNITS.csv, CHECKPOINTS.md, DECISIONS.md, GOAL.md, queries.md, and output/data folders) into a specified workspace.
  • Deterministic Setup: Ensures that every new pipeline run begins with the same foundational structure, simplifying debugging and reproducibility.
  • Use Case: Before starting any new research pipeline, use this skill to create a clean workspaces/my-new-run/ directory populated with the essential files and directory structure.

Quick Start

Run the workspace init script to create a new workspace in the 'workspaces/my-run' directory.

Frequently Asked Questions about workspace-init

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a research workspace with a standard template?▼

To initialize a research workspace, this skill copies a standard artifact template containing essential files like STATUS.md, GOAL.md, and output/data folders into a specified directory, ensuring a consistent starting point for pipeline runs.

What files are included in a standard research pipeline workspace setup?▼

A standard research pipeline workspace setup includes STATUS.md, UNITS.csv, CHECKPOINTS.md, DECISIONS.md, GOAL.md, queries.md, and output/data folders to ensure reproducible pipeline runs.

Can I overwrite existing files when setting up a research workspace?▼

Yes, you can overwrite existing files during research workspace setup. This skill operates deterministically and optionally overwrites existing files to maintain a consistent foundational structure for your pipeline runs.

Why use a deterministic template for research pipeline initialization?▼

Using a deterministic template for research pipeline initialization ensures every new run begins with the exact same foundational directory structure, which simplifies debugging and guarantees reproducibility across different pipeline runs.

Do I need any dependencies to create a standardized workspace directory?▼

No dependencies are required to create a standardized workspace directory. This skill operates independently to copy the predefined artifact files and directory structure into your specified workspace path.
