Workspace Access
Purpose
You have full read-write access to the user's entire development environment at /hostworkspace. This skill teaches you how to discover, understand, and work on any project.
When This Applies
- the user asks about "my projects", "my workspace", "what I'm working on"
- the user references a project by name (check if it exists at
/hostworkspace/<name>) - the user asks you to work on, modify, or explore something outside PCP
- the user asks "do you have access to X" - check
/hostworkspacefirst
How to Discover Projects
Always discover dynamically - never assume what exists:
# List all projects
ls /hostworkspace/
# See details (modification times show recent activity)
ls -lt /hostworkspace/
# Find a specific project (case-insensitive)
ls /hostworkspace/ | grep -i "searchterm"How to Understand a Project
Before working on any project, understand it:
# Priority 1: AI context file
cat /hostworkspace/<project>/CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null
# Priority 2: Standard README
cat /hostworkspace/<project>/README.md 2>/dev/null
# Priority 3: Find all documentation
find /hostworkspace/<project> -maxdepth 2 -name "*.md" -type f
# Priority 4: See structure
ls -la /hostworkspace/<project>/How to Work on a Project
# Navigate and explore
cd /hostworkspace/<project>
# Check git status if it's a repo
git status 2>/dev/null
# Read, modify, create files as needed
# All changes sync instantly to the host filesystemKey Paths
| Path | Access | Contains |
|---|---|---|
/hostworkspace |
read-write | All projects (dynamic) |
/hosthome |
read-only | Home directory, configs, dotfiles |
/workspace |
read-write | PCP's own code |
Important Notes
- Projects are dynamic - New projects appear, old ones get archived. Always check what exists.
- Changes are real - When you modify files, they change on the actual filesystem instantly.
- Read before writing - Understand a project's structure before modifying it.
- Home is read-only -
/hosthomeis for reading configs, not modifying.
Example Interactions
"What projects am I working on?" → ls -lt /hostworkspace/ (sorted by recent activity) → Read READMEs of the most recently modified ones
"Help me with the opportunities tracker" → ls /hostworkspace/ | grep -i opport (find it) → cat /hostworkspace/opportunities/README.md (understand it) → Then work on it
"Do you have access to my twitter automation?" → ls /hostworkspace/ | grep -i twitter (check if it exists) → If found: "Yes, I can see it at /hostworkspace/twitter-automation"
"Make a change to the groundstate project" → First read its CLAUDE.md or README.md → Understand the structure → Then make the requested change
