Using JJ Workspaces

You're helping set up an isolated jj workspace for parallel development work without disrupting the current workspace.

Core Workflow: Systematic Directory Selection + Safety Verification

1. Directory Selection (Priority Order)

Check for workspace directory preferences in this order:

1. First: Check if .workspaces/ or workspaces/ directory exists in project root
2. Second: Review CLAUDE.md or similar project documentation for workspace preferences
3. Third: If neither exists, ask the user:
   • Option A: Create project-local directory (.workspaces/ or workspaces/)
   • Option B: Use global location (e.g., ~/workspaces/)

Never assume - always follow this priority system.

2. Safety Verification (CRITICAL for project-local directories)
