Wordspace
Wordspace is a CLI tool that bootstraps project workspaces with workflows — reusable .prose programs fetched from GitHub.
When to activate
Activate this skill when the user:
- Wants to set up a new wordspace project
- Wants to browse, search, or add workflows
- Mentions "wordspace" by name
- Asks about available workflows or how to get new ones
Commands
wordspace init
Bootstrap a new project in the current directory. Runs three steps:
- Workflows — Fetches available
.proseworkflows from GitHub and presents an interactive picker. The user selects which ones to download. In CI (non-TTY), all workflows are downloaded automatically. - Claude settings — Creates
.claude/settings.local.jsonwith base permissions (curl,python3,WebFetch,WebSearch). - Directories — Creates the
output/directory.
Use --force to re-download workflows that already exist locally.
wordspace search [query]
List all available workflows from the remote repository. Optionally filter by a substring query.
wordspace search # list all
wordspace search pulse # filter by "pulse"
wordspace add <name> [...]
Download one or more specific workflows by name. Automatically appends .prose if missing.
wordspace add x-daily-pulse
wordspace add x-daily-pulse x-weekly-report
wordspace add x-daily-pulse --force # overwrite existing
