Manage the feature-first .workbench umbrella - create, resolve, switch, list, archive, and gc per-feature folders ({ticket}-{slug}) that group plans/reports/visuals/journals/state. Use when the user says "workbench new", "list features", "archive feature", "switch feature", "what feature am I on", "clean up .workbench", or needs to organize agent artifacts under .workbench/features/.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Workbench
Lifecycle owner for the **feature-first** `.workbench/` umbrella. One folder per feature - `features/{ticket}-{slug}/{plans,reports,visuals,journals,state}/` - so a ticket's artifacts stay together instead of scattering across type-first sibling dirs.
This skill owns the **write path** (create / archive / gc). The control-plane hooks own read-path resolution, so `workbench new` computes the exact id the hooks resolve - they never diverge (it reuses the deployed hooks lib - `~/.claude` or `~/.codex/hooks/lib`).
## Prerequisites
- The repo opts into feature-first: `paths.umbrella` set and `paths.layout: "feature-first"` in `<git-root>/.vd.json`.
- Hooks deployed (`vd install hooks`). Without them the CLI errors with a clear message.
- A type-first repo can still be inspected, but feature routing only activates under `feature-first`.
## Run
```bash
python3 $HOME/skills/skills/workbench/scripts/workbench.py <command> [args]
```
If the repo isn't at `$HOME/skills`, use the installed symlink (`$HOME/.claude/skills/workbench/...` or `$HOME/.agents/skills/workbench/...`). Pick one at session start and reuse it.

How to install
mdr add vanducng/skills/workbench@sha256:fdf169454756a9a6The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
