Workspaces
Give the model a project and path to work from.
A workspace is the context you are working in — a project, a folder, a set of notes. The active workspace rides along with every message, so the model always knows which project and path you mean.
Create a workspace
- 1
Open the manager
Click the folder pill in the message bar, run “Workspaces” from the palette, or type /workspace.
- 2
Pick a folder
Give it a name and notes, then Browse. The browser lists the folders on the machine the agent runs on — locally that's your computer, deployed it's the agent's host — so the path always points somewhere the agent's tools can reach. You can also paste an absolute path.

Make it active
The first workspace you add becomes active automatically. Click any workspace to activate it; click the active one again to work with no context.
How it reaches the model
The active workspace is attached to your latest message as a short context block — name, path and notes — right before the request goes out. It is never stored in the transcript, so switching workspaces mid-conversation always reflects the one active right now.
[active workspace]
Name: Smeeware Chat
Path: /Users/you/dev/smeeware-chat
Notes: Next.js frontend, FastAPI backend. Keep the two independent.
Treat this as the working context for the request.
