# g-workspace-init
Scaffold a new **Promotion-Gated Publish Workspace** from scratch: a workspace-root infrastructure
repo, an empty private `source/` repo (the source of truth), and an empty derived `release/` repo
(the public tree), wired together by the promotion tooling. The full pattern is specified in the
bundled `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/reference/workspace-pattern.md` — read it if you need the rationale or
the invariants.
This skill is **greenfield only**. To convert an existing flat repository into the pattern (preserving
its git history), use the **g-workspace-convert** plugin instead.
## What it produces

Three independent git repos are initialised. `release/` gets its own public `.gitignore` (own
