Claude Spaces Model

An index of Claude Code workspace repositories used for system administration tasks. This documents a pattern I've identified and implemented for using Claude Code beyond traditional software development.

Note: "Claude Spaces" is my own terminology, not official Anthropic terminology.

What Are Claude Spaces?

Claude Spaces are Claude Code workspaces structured as repositories, where the primary use case is not traditional code development or editing. Instead, they leverage repository/folder structure to tightly modularize project context and data for operational, administrative, or creative workflows.

The pattern involves organizing workspaces around specific domains (desktop management, network administration, content creation, etc.) rather than software projects.

The Stack

A Claude Space is built from layered components:

    subgraph Stack["Claude Space Stack"]
        L1[Context Layer<br/>CLAUDE.md + context files]
        L2[Command Layer<br/>Slash commands + scripts]
        L3[Integration Layer<br/>MCP servers + CLI tools]
        L4[Execution Layer<br/>File ops + shell + tool calls]

        L1 --> L2 --> L3 --> L4
    end

Pattern Characteristics

The defining characteristic: using repository/folder structure to tightly modularize project context and data for non-traditional code development use cases.

Key benefits:

• Context Persistence: Repository structure maintains domain-specific context across sessions
• History Tracking: Version control documents the evolution of configurations and decisions
• Modular Configuration: Each workspace can have tailored system prompts, slash commands, and MCP servers
• Reproducibility: Workspace repositories can be cloned, shared, or restored
• Portability: The pattern works with any AI CLI that supports context files and tool execution

Implementation Agnostic

While this repository demonstrates the pattern using Claude Code, this is fundamentally an AI agent CLI + repository pattern that can be implemented with any AI agent wrapper or CLI tool.

See portability.md for details on adapting to other tools (Aider, Continue, Goose, etc.).

Purpose of This Repository

This repository serves dual purposes:

1. Documentation: Sharing the Claude Spaces pattern with the community
2. Context for Claude: Creating reference material that helps Claude itself understand how to build these spaces efficiently

By mapping out the constituent elements, relationships, and implementation patterns, this repository becomes both documentation and training context for creating new Claude Spaces.
