| name | donny-env-new |
| description | Create an isolated multi-repo environment: a workspace directory of git worktrees or clones, each with its own independent .planning/. Use when running parallel Donny sessions across several repos, or isolating a feature on a worktree with separate planning state. Distinct from /donny-workstreams (logical concurrency inside one project). |

**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 `~/donny-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 Donny sessions.
Use cases:
- Multi-repo orchestration: work on a subset of repos in parallel with isolated Donny 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 /donny-init to initialize Donny.

Preserve all workflow gates (validation, approvals, commits, routing).
