Picked up without a restart. A project skill of the same name is shadowed by your personal one. For one repository only, swap ~/.claude/skills for .claude/skills. Claude Code docs ↗

The folder is the same in every client that implements the format — 46 of them — so if yours is not above, only the destination changes.

The skill

Source on GitHub ↗

Reproduced in full from timscheuerai/gtm-architecture-template/blob/2c312c9398064ad3730c786647293458cb89632c/.agents/skills/setup-workspace/SKILL.md, which is licensed MIT (repository). 451 words, 4 headings.

Workspace: all context paths below (identity, audience, strategy, voice, brand, raw, output, index, log, workspace preferences and context scripts) resolve from context/ in the kit root. Read both the root AGENTS.md and context/AGENTS.md. Skill-local references/ and flowchart scripts/ resolve from this skill directory.

Set up the workspace

Read AGENTS.md, README.md, index.md, workspace.example.json and strategy/notion-schema.md. Resolve paths from this skill's repository, not an unrelated current directory.

Local setup

Inspect existing context and local configuration before writing. A populated workspace is not a blank template: preserve its sources, settings and user edits.

Gather the author's name, language, audience, content goal and available source material from the conversation. Ask only for missing choices that affect the requested next step. Time zone, posting days and platform are needed for a dated plan, not for an initial interview.

Create or merge ignored workspace.local.json from the example. Leave unknowns null or empty. Keep credentials in the connected tool's authentication store. This file holds preferences, not evidence for biographical or business claims. Durable decisions go in the relevant context pages with source notes.

Use templates/context-interview.md to start capture. Do not populate identity, proof, voice, hooks or topics with sample answers. No bulk rename is needed to make the generic skills work.

Optional Notion setup

Local drafting works without Notion. Set it up only when included in the request.

  1. Read strategy/notion.local.json if present, otherwise inspect legacy strategy/notion.json if this installation has one. Fetch the configured destination. For a new setup, ask for the parent page or locate the explicitly named one and verify its identity.
  2. Inspect the selected parent's children and existing schemas. Reuse an existing matching setup rather than duplicating it.
  3. Create or map the four databases from strategy/notion-schema.md using the available connector's documented arguments. Store each confirmed ID in strategy/notion.local.json as it is created. Do not copy IDs from the example, another project or an unrelated search result.
  4. Add supported views. If a connector cannot configure a view or native template, report that specific limitation. Do not claim it exists.
  5. Fetch the resulting schemas and query each data source. For a new blank setup, verify all four have no rows. Preserve existing rows when resuming a populated setup.

After any ambiguous write result, inspect the destination before retrying. A database ID and its data source ID may differ.

Optional search and handoff

If search is requested and qmd is installed, run scripts/qmd-setup.sh, then search a known page through scripts/qmd.sh. Otherwise use rg. Do not install packages or embedding models merely to initialize context.

Run scripts/wiki-lint.sh. Report what is connected, what remains blank and the next source to capture. Setup does not schedule content, publish posts or send outreach.
