name: dg:create-workspace description: Create a new Dagster workspace for managing multiple projects. Use when user wants to initialize a workspace, manage multiple Dagster projects together, or set up a multi-project environment.

Create Dagster Workspace Skill

This skill helps users create Dagster workspaces through natural language requests.

When to Use This Skill

Auto-invoke when users say:

• "create a dagster workspace"
• "initialize a dagster workspace"
• "set up a multi-project dagster environment"
• "create a workspace for multiple dagster projects"
• "make a dagster workspace"
• "start a new dagster workspace"
• "scaffold a dagster workspace"

How It Works

When this skill is invoked:

1. Extract the workspace name from the user's request (if provided)
2. Invoke the underlying command: /dg:create-workspace <name>
3. Handle missing parameters:
   • If user specified a name: use it directly
   • If user said "here" or "in current directory": use .
   • If no name provided: ask the user for the workspace name

Example Flows

User provides a name:

CopyUser: "Create a dagster workspace called my-org"
→ Invoke: /dg:create-workspace my-org

User doesn't provide a name:

CopyUser: "I want to set up a workspace for multiple dagster projects"
→ Ask: "What would you like to name your Dagster workspace?"
→ Wait for user response
→ Invoke: /dg:create-workspace <user-provided-name>

User wants to create in current directory:

CopyUser: "Create a dagster workspace here"
→ Invoke: /dg:create-workspace .

User provides a path:

CopyUser: "Create a dagster workspace at ./workspaces/analytics"
→ Invoke: /dg:create-workspace ./workspaces/analytics

Implementation Notes

• This skill is a thin wrapper that delegates to the /dg:create-workspace command
• The command file at commands/create-workspace.md contains the actual execution logic
• Explicit slash command invocation still works: /dg:create-workspace <name>
• Both natural language and explicit invocation are supported

Related Commands

After creating a workspace, users may want to:

• Use /dg:create-project <name> to add projects to the workspace
• Use dg dev to start the Dagster UI for the workspace
• Navigate to the workspace directory if they created it with a name
