wordspace — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
This skill adds the wordspace CLI for creating and maintaining project workspaces. Use it to find, download, and refresh .prose workflows.
npx skills add frames-engineering/skills --skill wordspace -a claude-codeWhat wordspace does
The skill runs the wordspace CLI for projects built around reusable .prose workflow files. wordspace init retrieves the available workflows, writes .claude/settings.local.json with base permissions, and creates output/. In an interactive terminal, you choose what to download; in CI without a TTY, the command downloads every workflow.
Use wordspace search [query] to list workflows or narrow the list with a substring. wordspace add <name> [...] fetches one or more named workflows and adds .prose when the extension is omitted. The --force flag replaces local copies. The CLI needs node and npx, so those commands must be available before the skill can run it.
Initialization also creates workflows/, output/, and skills/wordspace/ in the project. Run wordspace init --force when existing workflow files should be downloaded again.
What it helps with
- bootstrap a wordspace project in the current directory
- search available workflows by a text fragment
- download selected
.proseworkflow files - replace workflows already stored locally
- create Claude settings and the
output/directory
