name: gsd-new-workspace description: Create an isolated workspace with repo copies and independent .planning/

<context> **Flags:** - `--name` (required) — Workspace name - `--repos` — Comma-separated repo paths or names. If omitted, interactive selection from child git repos in cwd - `--path` — Target directory. Defaults to `~/gsd-workspaces/<name>` - `--strategy` — `worktree` (default, lightweight) or `clone` (fully independent) - `--branch` — Branch to checkout. Defaults to `workspace/<name>` - `--auto` — Skip interactive questions, use defaults </context> <objective> Create a physical workspace directory containing copies of specified git repos (as worktrees or clones) with an independent `.planning/` directory for isolated GSD sessions.

Use cases:

  • Multi-repo orchestration: work on a subset of repos in parallel with isolated GSD state
  • Feature branch isolation: create a worktree of the current repo with its own .planning/

Creates:

  • <path>/WORKSPACE.md — workspace manifest
  • <path>/.planning/ — independent planning directory
  • <path>/<repo>/ — git worktree or clone for each specified repo

After this command: cd into the workspace and run /gsd-new-project to initialize GSD. </objective>

<execution_context> @.agent/get-shit-done/workflows/new-workspace.md @.agent/get-shit-done/references/ui-brand.md </execution_context>

<process> Execute the new-workspace workflow from @.agent/get-shit-done/workflows/new-workspace.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, approvals, commits, routing). </process>
