**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 `~/cds-workspaces/` - `--strategy` — `worktree` (default, lightweight) or `clone` (fully independent) - `--branch` — Branch to checkout. Defaults to `workspace/` - `--auto` — Skip interactive questions, use defaults 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 /cds-new-project to initialize GSD.
