<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>

<execution_context> @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/new-workspace.md @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/references/ui-brand.md </execution_context>

<process> Execute the new-workspace workflow from @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/new-workspace.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, approvals, commits, routing). </process>
