workspace-foundational

April 19, 2026 · View on GitHub

Claude Code plugin for generic workspace patterns that don't fit a specific domain — setup, context/memory maintenance, report parsing, inventory analysis, web analytics, and template discovery.

Part of the danielrosehill Claude Code marketplace.

What you get

Primitives (always available once the plugin is installed)

Workspace setup commands (/workspace-foundational:*):

  • setup-workspaces — interactive discovery + cloning of existing Claude Code workspace templates from a curated catalog
  • context-sweep — audit and prune a workspace's context/ directory
  • triage-document — quick-scan a document dropped into a workspace's input/
  • inventory-scan — detect duplicates, anomalies, and high-value items in imported inventory data
  • analytics-ingest — normalise raw web analytics exports into cleaned inputs

Skills:

  • new-workspace — provisioning skill that scaffolds a workspace on disk from one of six variants
  • find-template — advisory skill that recommends the best-fit template/variant for a described use case (absorbed from the retired new-repo-from-template plugin)

Variants

VariantPurpose
generic-workspaceA general-purpose Claude Code workspace: CLAUDE.md, context/, outputs/, prompts/
context-managementMaintaining an external RAG / Pinecone-backed context store with operations log + staging
report-parsingDropping reports into input/ for triage, bias-check, and deep analysis into output/
inventory-analysisIngesting inventory CSV/JSON exports, analysing for duplicates/anomalies/value
web-analyticsStructured workspace for ingesting and reporting on website analytics data
template-discoveryA lightweight sandbox for browsing and evaluating template scaffolds before committing

Pattern

Primitives live in the plugin → globally available from any cwd. Workspace scaffolds are provisioned as data → no .claude/ tree inside provisioned workspaces. Plugin updates never touch your workspace data.

See PLAN.md in Claude-Workspace-Reshaping-190426 for the full pattern spec this plugin follows.

Install

Via the danielrosehill marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add danielrosehill/Claude-Code-Plugins
/plugin install workspace-foundational

Provenance

This plugin consolidates two previously-separate plugins and seven template repos as part of the Wave 3 refactor:

  • Absorbed plugin: workspace-setup (the setup-workspaces command).
  • Absorbed plugin: new-repo-from-template (the recommend-template skill, renamed to find-template). The 111 bundled template scaffolds are handled separately by the per-cluster plugins.
  • Absorbed templates: Claude-Report-Parsing-Space-Template, Claude-Research-Space-Public-Template, Claude-Research-Workspace-General-Template, Claude-Web-Analytics-Space, Context-Maintenance-Template, Inventory-Analyst-Template, Report-Parsing-Space-Template.
