Adds a fourth skill,
coder-workspaces, for using an existing Coder deployment from the command line.setup,templates, andmodulescover installing Coder and authoring templates; nothing covered actually using a workspace.Scope is the workspace as the environment an agent works in: get into one, run commands and edit files in it, forward ports, and drive its lifecycle. Template coverage stops at
templates listandtemplates presets list, which is whatcoder createneeds. Everything is thecoderCLI, no MCP.Commands were checked against
coder <subcommand> --help(v2.35.3-devel) and most were run live against dev.coder.com, includingcoder ssh -- <cmd>, writing a file throughtee,--wait yes,-yon the lifecycle commands, andcoder config-ssh --dry-run. Running them turned up one gotcha worth having in the skill: a workspace with more than one agent needscoder ssh <workspace>.<agent>, otherwise the CLI errors out.
