Workspace SOP

Safely manage research workspace files with Git versioning by initializing a local-only repository that automatically commits saves, enabling history-based recovery and preventing accidental data loss.

Restore deleted files or recover previous drafts through workspace_restore and commit history, which provides history-based recovery guarantees for research artifacts within the local workspace structure.

You can enforce strict directory conventions by separating research inputs in the sources directory and outputs in the outputs directory, keeping research artifacts organized and preventing file path errors.

Prevent accidental overwrites by using safe write discipline, which requires pre-checks via workspace_read or workspace_list before saving, distinguishing between append and overwrite operations.

Git-backed workspace management works for thesis writing, paper drafting, and citation management workflows by enforcing directory conventions and providing recovery guarantees for research artifacts.

Execute commands safely within a local research workspace by following Git-backed conventions for saving, reading, listing, diffing, restoring, and exporting artifacts to prevent accidental data loss.
