Common Workflows

Daily Development Start

# 1. Launch workspace CLI
./scripts/workspace

# 2. Repository Management -> Repository Sync Manager
# 3. Navigate to: Pull -> All
# Or directly:
./scripts/repository_sync pull all

End of Day Sync

# Sync all work with commit message
./scripts/repository_sync sync work -m "$(date +%Y-%m-%d) updates"

Setup New Repository

# 1. Configure URLs
./scripts/repository/configure_repos.sh

# 2. Clone repository
./scripts/repository_sync clone <repo-name>

# 3. Setup compliance
./scripts/compliance/setup_compliance.sh

Code Quality Check

# Run refactor analysis
./scripts/development/refactor-analysis.sh

# Check compliance
./scripts/compliance/verify_compliance.sh

Propagate Standards

# Update all repos with latest standards
./scripts/compliance/propagate_claude_config.py
./scripts/compliance/propagate_guidelines.sh
./scripts/compliance/propagate_interactive_mode.sh

Error Handling

Menu Display Issues

# Check terminal supports ANSI
echo $TERM

# Run with basic terminal
TERM=xterm ./scripts/workspace

Script Not Found

# Verify workspace root
pwd
# Should be: /mnt/github/workspace-hub

# Make scripts executable
chmod +x ./scripts/workspace
chmod +x ./scripts/*/*.sh

Permission Denied

# Fix permissions
chmod +x ./scripts/workspace
chmod +x ./scripts/*/*.sh
chmod +x ./scripts/*/*.py

Configuration Missing

# Run configuration helper
./scripts/repository/configure_repos.sh

# Or edit directly
nano config/repos.conf

Metrics & Success Criteria

Navigation Speed: Access any tool in < 3 menu selections
Script Execution: 100% success rate for available scripts
Cross-Platform: Works on Linux, macOS, WSL
Documentation: All menu options have help text
Error Handling: Clear error messages with recovery steps

Navigation Tips

Keyboard Navigation

Number keys: Select menu options
0: Go back / Exit
Ctrl+C: Force exit

Direct Access

Skip menus with direct commands:

# Instead of navigating menus
./scripts/workspace

# Use direct script path
./scripts/repository_sync sync all -m "Quick update"

Command Aliases

Add to .bashrc or .zshrc:

# Workspace CLI aliases
alias ws='./scripts/workspace'
alias rs='./scripts/repository_sync'
alias rsync='./scripts/repository_sync sync all'
alias rstatus='./scripts/repository_sync status all'
alias rpull='./scripts/repository_sync pull all'

Integration Points

With Repository Sync

The CLI wraps repository_sync for menu access:

# Menu access
./scripts/workspace -> 1 -> 1

# Direct access
./scripts/repository_sync <command>

With Compliance System

# Menu access
./scripts/workspace -> 2 -> 3

# Direct access
./scripts/compliance/verify_compliance.sh

With AI Agents

AI agents can use CLI scripts:

# Run status check
subprocess.run(['./scripts/repository_sync', 'status', 'all'])

# Verify compliance
subprocess.run(['./scripts/compliance/verify_compliance.sh'])
