gsd:new-workspace

<context> Flags:

• --name (required) — Workspace name
• --repos — Comma-separated repo paths or names. If omitted, interactive selection from child git repos in cwd
• --path — Target directory. Defaults to ~/gsd-workspaces/<name>
• --strategy — worktree (default, lightweight) or clone (fully independent)
• --branch — Branch to checkout. Defaults to workspace/<name>
• --auto — Skip interactive questions, use defaults

</context>

<objective> Create a physical workspace directory containing copies of specified git repos (as worktrees or clones) with an independent .planning/ directory for isolated GSD sessions.

Use cases:

• Multi-repo orchestration: work on a subset of repos in parallel with isolated GSD state
• Feature branch isolation: create a worktree of the current repo with its own .planning/

Creates:

• <path>/WORKSPACE.md — workspace manifest
• <path>/.planning/ — independent planning directory
• <path>/<repo>/ — git worktree or clone for each specified repo

After this command: cd into the workspace and run /gsd:new-project to initialize GSD. </objective>

<process> Execute the new-workspace workflow from @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/new-workspace.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, approvals, commits, routing). </process>
