Workbench Creation Skill

Guide users through creating a workbench for implementation work.

Usage

code

/orc-workbench

Workbench name is auto-generated as {repo}-{number} based on the linked repo.

Flow

Step 1: Detect Context

bash

orc status
orc workshop list

Identify:

•Current workshop (if in workshop context)
•Available workshops
•If no workshop detected, ask which workshop

Step 2: Select Repo (Required)

bash

orc repo list

Ask user which repo to link. The workbench name will be auto-generated from this.

Step 3: Create Workbench Record

bash

orc workbench create --workshop WORK-xxx --repo-id REPO-xxx

The name is auto-generated as {repo}-{number} (e.g., intercom-015).

Step 4: Start TMux Session

bash

orc tmux apply WORK-xxx --yes

This creates/reconciles the tmux session for the workshop, adding the new workbench window with the standard pane layout.

Step 5: Confirm Ready

Output:

code

Workbench created:
  BENCH-015: intercom-015
  Path: ~/wb/intercom-015
  Workshop: WORK-xxx

To start working:
  cd ~/wb/intercom-015
  # Or attach to TMux: orc tmux connect WORK-xxx

       [runs orc tmux apply WORK-003 --yes]

Agent: Workbench created:
         BENCH-015: intercom-015
         Path: ~/wb/intercom-015
         Workshop: WORK-003

       To start working:
