agentproto workspace

Manage the set of local directories the CLI knows about. A workspace is a registered repo or project that other verbs (run, sessions, the daemon's session APIs) can target by slug instead of by absolute path.

agentproto workspace add <path> [--slug <slug>] [--label <text>]
agentproto workspace list
agentproto workspace use <slug>
agentproto workspace remove <slug>

Registry file: ~/.agentproto/workspaces.json (mode 0600).

Subverbs

add <path>

Register a local directory.

agentproto workspace add ~/code/my-project --slug my-project
agentproto workspace add . --slug current

• --slug <slug> — kebab-case identifier other verbs use. Defaults to the directory basename if omitted.
• --label <text> — human-readable description shown by list.

If a workspace with the same slug already exists, add errors out; use remove first or pick a different slug.

list

Print every registered workspace.

agentproto workspace list

Shows slug, absolute path, label, and which one is currently active (see use).

Add --json for machine-readable output.

use <slug>

Make a workspace the active default. Verbs that accept --workspace <slug> use this when the flag is omitted.

agentproto workspace use my-project

The active workspace is stored as activeWorkspace in the same workspaces.json.

remove <slug>

Unregister a workspace. The directory on disk is NOT touched — only the registry entry is removed.

agentproto workspace remove my-project

Where workspaces are used

• agentproto sessions — start and terminal accept --workspace <slug> to set the spawned process's cwd.
• agentproto serve — the daemon's session APIs resolve workspace slugs sent from the tunnel host.
• agentproto run — --cwd accepts either an absolute path or <slug> resolved against the registry.

Examples

# Register two repos
agentproto workspace add ~/code/my-app --slug my-app
agentproto workspace add ~/code/scratch --slug scratch --label "Throwaway experiments"

# Pin the active one
agentproto workspace use my-app

# Spawn a Claude Code session in scratch without changing the active default
agentproto sessions start claude-code --workspace scratch --attach
