Workspace Analysis Skill

Dynamic multi-repo and monorepo awareness for Claude Code. Analyze workspace topology, track API contracts, and maintain cross-repo context.

The Problem

When you have separate frontend/backend repos (or monorepo with multiple apps), Claude Code operates in isolation. It doesn't know:

• API contracts between modules/repos
• Shared types and interfaces
• Full system architecture
• Cross-repo dependencies
• What changed in other parts of the system

This leads to:

• Duplicate type definitions
• API contract mismatches
• Breaking changes not caught until runtime
• Claude reimplementing things that exist elsewhere

---

Solution: Dynamic Workspace Analysis

Instead of static manifests that get stale, Claude dynamically analyzes the workspace and generates context artifacts that stay fresh through hooks.

Workspace Classification

Detection Patterns

Type	Indicators	File Access
Monorepo	pnpm-workspace.yaml, nx.json, turbo.json, lerna.json	Direct (same tree)
Multi-repo	Sibling directories with separate .git	Via symlinks or paths
Hybrid	Monorepo + external repo dependencies	Mixed
Single	One app, no workspace config	N/A (use existing-repo)

Monorepo Detection

# Check for monorepo indicators
ls package.json pnpm-workspace.yaml lerna.json nx.json turbo.json 2>/dev/null
ls apps/ packages/ services/ libs/ modules/ 2>/dev/null

Multi-Repo Detection

# Check sibling directories for related repos
ls -la ../*.git 2>/dev/null
cat ../*/.git/config 2>/dev/null | grep "url"

# Look for naming patterns
ls .. | grep -E "(frontend|backend|api|web|shared|common)"

Polyglot Detection

# Find all package manifests
find . -maxdepth 4 -name "package.json" -o -name "pyproject.toml" \
  -o -name "go.mod" -o -name "Cargo.toml" -o -name "pom.xml" \
  -o -name "build.gradle" -o -name "Gemfile"

Analysis Protocol

Phase 1: Topology Discovery (~30 seconds)

Determine workspace structure:

## Discovery Checklist

1. [ ] Identify workspace root
2. [ ] Classify workspace type (monorepo/multi-repo/hybrid/single)
3. [ ] List all modules/apps/packages
4. [ ] Detect tech stack per module
5. [ ] Identify entry points per module

Module Detection Pattern:

workspace-root/
├── apps/           → Application modules
│   ├── web/        → Frontend app
│   └── api/        → Backend app
├── packages/       → Shared packages
│   ├── ui/         → Component library
│   ├── types/      → Shared types
│   └── db/         → Database layer
├── services/       → Microservices
└── libs/           → Internal libraries

Phase 2: Dependency Graph (~60 seconds)

For each module, map:

1. Internal Dependencies

# TypeScript/JavaScript
grep -r "from ['\"]@" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" | head -50
grep -r "workspace:" package.json

# Python
grep -r "from \." --include="*.py" | head -50

2. API Relationships

# Find API calls
grep -rE "fetch|axios|httpx|requests\." --include="*.ts" --include="*.py" | \
  grep -E "/api|localhost|127\.0\.0\.1" | head -30

3. Database Connections

# Find DB access patterns
grep -rE "prisma|drizzle|sqlalchemy|sequelize|typeorm" --include="*.ts" --include="*.py"

Phase 3: Contract Extraction (~45 seconds)

Identify and parse API contracts:

Contract Type	Detection	Extraction
OpenAPI	openapi.json, swagger.yaml, /docs endpoint	Parse paths, schemas
GraphQL	schema.graphql, *.gql, /graphql endpoint	Parse types, queries, mutations
tRPC	trpc router files, @trpc/* imports	Parse router definitions
Protobuf	*.proto files	Parse services, messages
TypeScript	Shared .d.ts, exported interfaces	Parse exported types
Pydantic	schemas/, models/ with BaseModel	Parse model definitions
Zod	schemas/ with z.object	Parse schema definitions

Contract Source Priority:

1. Generated specs (openapi.json) - most accurate
2. Schema definitions (Pydantic, Zod) - source of truth
3. Type exports (TypeScript .d.ts) - consumer contracts
4. Inferred from code - last resort

Phase 4: Key File Identification (~30 seconds)

Identify files Claude MUST know about for each context:

Category	Detection Pattern	Token Priority
Route definitions	**/routes/**, **/api/**, @app.get, @router	HIGH
Type definitions	**/types/**, *.d.ts, schemas/, models/	HIGH
Config	.env.example, config/, settings.py	MEDIUM
Entry points	main.ts, index.ts, app.py, server.py	MEDIUM
API clients	**/api/client*, **/lib/api*	HIGH
Database schema	schema/, migrations/, prisma/schema.prisma	MEDIUM
Tests	__tests__/, *_test.py, *.spec.ts	LOW (on-demand)

Multi-Repo File Access

For multi-repo workspaces (separate .git directories):

Option 1: Sibling Directory Convention (Recommended)

~/code/
├── myapp-frontend/     # git repo
├── myapp-backend/      # git repo
├── myapp-shared/       # git repo
└── .workspace/         # workspace config (optional)
    └── myapp.yaml

Claude accesses via relative paths: ../myapp-backend/

Option 2: Workspace Symlinks

# In frontend repo
mkdir -p .workspace/repos
ln -s ../../myapp-backend .workspace/repos/backend
ln -s ../../myapp-shared .workspace/repos/shared

Option 3: Git Submodules

# Add related repos as submodules (read-only)
git submodule add --depth 1 ../myapp-shared .workspace/shared

File Access Rules

## Multi-Repo Access Protocol

WHEN accessing files from another repo:
1. Use relative paths from workspace root
2. Read-only access (never modify other repos)
3. Cache contract files locally in _project_specs/workspace/cache/
4. Log cross-repo reads in decisions.md

BEFORE making cross-repo changes:
1. Document the change in BOTH repos' decisions.md
2. Create linked todos in BOTH repos
3. Implement in dependency order (shared → backend → frontend)

Change Impact Patterns

Change Type	Impacts	Action
New API endpoint	Frontend client, types	Add to both, sync contracts
Modified response	Frontend types, tests	Regenerate types, update tests
New required field	All consumers	Breaking change protocol
Renamed field	All consumers	Migration + deprecation
New shared type	Consumers on next use	Export from shared-types
Schema migration	API models, queries	Run migration, verify queries

Last full analysis: 2026-01-18T10:00:00Z
Last sync: 2026-01-20T14:32:00Z
Staleness: 🟢 Fresh (synced 2 hours ago)

## Confidence Levels

🟢 Fresh     - Synced within 24 hours, no source changes
🟡 Stale     - Sources changed since last sync
🔴 Outdated  - Over 7 days since last analysis
⚠️  Drift    - Validation found inconsistencies

Integration with Existing Skills

With existing-repo.md

workspace.md calls existing-repo.md analysis for each module:

## Module Analysis Delegation

For each module in workspace:
1. Run existing-repo analysis on that module
2. Extract: tech stack, conventions, guardrails status
3. Aggregate into TOPOLOGY.md
4. Don't duplicate - reference existing-repo output

With session-management.md

## Session State Integration

Workspace context files are part of session state:
- TOPOLOGY.md → structural context (rarely changes)
- CONTRACTS.md → API context (check freshness each session)
- KEY_FILES.md → loading guidance (static reference)

On session start:
1. Load _project_specs/workspace/*.md into context
2. Check contract freshness
3. Advise if sync needed

With code-review.md

## Cross-Repo Review Checks

When reviewing code that touches contracts:

1. Check if change affects other modules
2. Verify contract consistency
3. Flag if CONTRACTS.md needs update
4. Warn about breaking changes

Add to review output:
### 🔗 Cross-Repo Impact
- [ ] This change affects: apps/web (API client)
- [ ] Contract update needed: Yes
- [ ] Breaking change: No

Troubleshooting

"Workspace not detected"

# Check for workspace indicators
ls -la package.json pnpm-workspace.yaml turbo.json nx.json 2>/dev/null

# If multi-repo, check sibling directories
ls -la ../

# Manual classification
/analyze-workspace --type monorepo
/analyze-workspace --type multi-repo --repos "../backend,../shared"

"Contract sync failed"

# Check contract sources exist
cat _project_specs/workspace/.contract-sources

# Verify file access
for f in $(cat .contract-sources); do
  ls -la "$f" 2>/dev/null || echo "Missing: $f"
done

# Force full refresh
/analyze-workspace --force

"Token budget exceeded"

# Check current estimates
/workspace-status

# Reduce context loading
# Edit KEY_FILES.md to prioritize
# Or work on one module at a time

"Cross-repo access denied"

# Check paths are correct
ls ../backend/  # or wherever related repo is

# Set up symlinks if needed
mkdir -p .workspace/repos
ln -s ../../backend .workspace/repos/backend

# Or configure in workspace
/analyze-workspace --repo-path backend=../myapp-backend
