| 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:
- Extract the workspace name from the user's request (if provided)
- Invoke the underlying command:
/dg:create-workspace <name>
- 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:
User: "Create a dagster workspace called my-org"
→ Invoke: /dg:create-workspace my-org
User doesn't provide a name:
User: "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:
User: "Create a dagster workspace here"
→ Invoke: /dg:create-workspace .
User provides a path:
User: "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
