name: ws description: Browse and manage sayou workspace — list files, search, view history user_invocable: true triggers:

  • "what's in my workspace"
  • "show workspace"
  • "list files"
  • "workspace status"
  • "browse workspace"

/ws — Workspace Browser

Browse the sayou workspace. Show the user what's stored, find specific files, or check recent changes.

Instructions

  1. Start with an overview — use workspace_list with path: "/" and recursive: true to show the full file tree. Present it as a clean, readable tree with frontmatter metadata.

  2. If the user asks about a specific file, use workspace_read to show its contents. Mention the version number and when it was last updated.

  3. If the user asks about changes, use workspace_history on the relevant file to show version history. Offer to diff specific versions.

  4. If the workspace is empty, tell the user:

    • Use /save to save findings or decisions from this session
    • Ask Claude to "save a note about [topic]" to create a file
    • Files support YAML frontmatter for metadata (status, type, tags, etc.)
  5. For large workspaces, use workspace_search or workspace_grep to find specific files rather than listing everything.

Output Format

Show files as a tree with key metadata:

research/
  competitor-analysis.md    status=draft     [v3, 2d ago]
  market-sizing.md          status=reviewed  [v1, 5d ago]
decisions/
  auth-architecture.md      status=approved  [v2, 1w ago]
notes/
  standup-2026-02-19.md     type=meeting     [v1, today]

Keep it concise. Don't read every file's contents unless asked — the tree overview is usually enough.
