Workbench concept

In recent projects, I’ve often needed to work across multiple repositories, as well as on supporting documents that are not stored in Git. This makes it important to introduce a “workbench” concept—a setup that brings together all relevant repositories and supporting artifacts.

Once the workbench is in place, it eliminates the need to constantly switch contexts. Instead, you can focus on orchestration and provide consolidated inputs to the coding agent. This enables efficient reasoning over the entire workspace, including code analysis, gap identification, cross-repo design alignment, and the development and execution of detailed implementation plans.

So far, I’ve been maintaining these workbench artifacts in a local, non-checked-in docs folderes, sentially a “secret weapon.”. While the concept is simple, I’ve found it to be highly effective for improving efficiency when working on large, multi-repository projects.
