# Workspaces Overview

> Understand how Conductor binds a repository, markdown board, agent defaults, and runtime rules into one operating unit.

A workspace is the unit Conductor actually operates on.

Where repo reality meets the control plane

A clean workspace definition is what makes task routing, worktree isolation, review context, and retry behavior predictable. It is the difference between orchestration and a pile of disconnected shells.

Repository root
Board path
Agent default
Branch + review state

It connects:

* the repository root
* the markdown task surface
* project settings and agent defaults
* runtime controls for sessions, diffs, and review

> Create, manage, and map workspaces to the correct repository roots and board files.

> [card] [Execution and control](https://autmallc.mintlify.site/workspaces/interface.md)

> Move between the board, chat interface, command bar, slash commands, and active sessions.

> [card] [Review and delivery](https://autmallc.mintlify.site/workspaces/changes.md)

> Inspect diffs, handle Git operations, and keep multi-repo work readable when a task crosses boundaries.

> Keep the browser UI reachable without breaking the local-first runtime model.

## Why workspace boundaries matter

The better the workspace definition, the more reliable everything downstream becomes: worktrees, session routing, pull requests, and reviewer context.
