The Pattern
Section titled “The Pattern”Every quickstart follows the same pattern:
- Create a
.workbench.jsonin your project root - Add it to Workbench as a repository
- Create a workspace — the setup script runs automatically
- Start prompting the agent
The .workbench.json file tells Workbench how to bootstrap each workspace. See Per-Repo Settings for the full schema.
