What is Workloom?

Workloom is an organization-level AI workflow package manager and workspace desired-state platform.

It owns canonical definitions of skills, workflows, agents, prompts, MCP configs, hooks, instructions, and provider-specific renderers, then materializes those into local repositories, monorepos, folders, or unique-key-bound workspaces through the wl CLI.

The problem​

AI coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini — each read configuration from different files in different formats at different paths. When your organization has 10, 50, or 200 repositories, you end up with:

  • Copy-pasted configs that diverge immediately
  • No canonical source for skills, agents, or prompts
  • No distribution mechanism for updates
  • No visibility into what is installed, what is stale, what is missing
  • No CI enforcement that AI configs match the team standard

The solution​

Workloom treats AI workflow assets the way npm treats packages:

  1. Define canonical packages of skills, agents, prompts, hooks, and configs
  2. Publish immutable, versioned, content-addressed package versions to a registry
  3. Bind workspaces (repos, monorepos, folders) to selected packages
  4. Render provider-specific projections — Claude gets .claude/, Codex gets AGENTS.md, Copilot gets .github/copilot-instructions.md
  5. Sync deterministic render plans into local workspaces with ownership tracking
  6. Detect drift and enforce desired state in CI with wl sync --check

The mental model​

npm package manager
+ Git object model (content-addressed, sha256)
+ Terraform plan/apply (desired-state, dry-run, drift)
+ Provider-specific renderers
+ CI drift checking

What Workloom is not​

Workloom is not generic file sync, not Dropbox for repos, not rsync over SSH. The files it manages are not arbitrary — they are canonical AI configuration assets and provider-specific generated projections.

Current status​

Workloom is in active development. The current release includes:

  • 9 core packages (types, manifest, storage, auth, registry, workspace, renderer-core, renderer-claude, renderer-codex)
  • wl CLI with login, bind, pull, push, and status commands
  • Fastify API server with auth, registry, and workspace endpoints
  • Next.js web app for browsing packages and managing workspaces
  • Claude and Codex provider renderers
  • Content-addressed storage with SHA-256 verification
  • In-memory stores for development (database backends coming in a future phase)
