Workspace

Manage the writing/docs side of a research project: scaffold infrastructure as needed, show the rendered work, save iterations. For managing the research task graph itself (planning, executing typed tasks), use asta-flows.

assets/DEVELOPER.md is a developer-facing template scaffolded into the user's project root (where it becomes DEVELOPER.md for humans and agents working with the project). This SKILL.md is the agent-specific procedure.

Show the user the rendered work

Give the user a web URL for the rendered work. Two URL sources, pick based on your context:

  • Local agent (host, local dev container, or Codespace — the user can reach your port): run make preview in the background. Pass the URL Quarto prints (localhost on host/dev container; Codespaces-forwarded URL in a Codespace).
  • Headless agent (no user-reachable port): push the branch (see Save), then make deployed-url to fetch the deployed URL from GitHub Pages CI.

Save

git add + git commit -m "<concise message>". Don't git push without explicit user approval.

For a headless agent (the user only sees results via deployed URL):
