Configuration

The workspace configuration file defines repositories, plugins, workspace file sync, and target clients.

# Workspace file sync (optional)
workspace:
source: ../shared-config # Default base for relative file paths
files:
- AGENTS.md # String shorthand: same source and dest
- source: docs/guide.md # Object form with explicit source
dest: GUIDE.md # Optional dest (defaults to basename)
- dest: CUSTOM.md # File-level source override
source: ../other-config/CUSTOM.md
- dest: AGENTS.md # GitHub source
source: owner/repo/path/AGENTS.md
repositories:
- path: ../my-project
owner: myorg
repo: my-project
description: Main project repository
plugins:
- code-review@claude-plugins-official
clients:
- claude
- copilot
- cursor

The workspace section enables syncing files from external sources to your workspace root.

FieldRequiredDescription
sourceNoDefault base directory for resolving relative file paths
filesYesArray of files to sync

File entry formats:

FormatExampleDescription
StringAGENTS.mdSource and dest are the same, resolved from workspace.source
Object with source{source: "path/file.md"}Dest defaults to basename
Object with dest{dest: "file.md", source: "..."}Explicit source and dest

Source resolution priority:

  1. Explicit source on file entry → used directly
  2. No source → resolved relative to workspace.source
  3. No workspace.source and no explicit source → validation error

GitHub sources:

  • Format: owner/repo/path/to/file.md
  • Fetched fresh on every sync (always pulls latest)

Behaviors:

  • Source is the single source of truth; local copies are overwritten
  • Deleted local files are restored on next sync
  • AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md automatically receive WORKSPACE-RULES injection

When using --scope user, AllAgents stores a separate config at ~/.allagents/workspace.yaml:

plugins:
- superpowers@obra/superpowers

This file follows the same plugins format as the project-level workspace.yaml but does not support workspace, repositories, or clients fields. User-scoped plugins sync to user-level directories (~/.claude/, ~/.codex/, etc.) and are available across all projects.

Sync state for user-scoped plugins is tracked in ~/.allagents/sync-state.json.
