Project Overview项目介绍

workspace-metabolism is an independent MCP server and command-line tool built for governing files left behind by AI coding agents. It supports integration with multiple AI agent platforms including DeepSeek Harness, Claude Code, and other popular AI coding agents. You can install it via the Python Package Index or directly from source code, it requires Python 3.11 or newer, and it has zero third-party dependencies to reduce installation bloat. It runs natively on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and offers core capabilities like policy-driven audit, reversible cleanup, file rollback, and hash-chained verification of all actions taken by the tool.

This tool is built for developers who regularly use AI coding agents for software development work. AI agents often leave behind scratch files, cache data, and abandoned directories that accumulate over time and clutter the workspace, and this tool solves that problem. The typical workflow starts with running wm doctor to scan for ungoverned residue and generate policy suggestions. After you review and adopt the suggestions, the tool will generate your metabolism.json policy file, then you can run audits and cleanups, and roll back any cleanup operation if you need to recover files.

This project is released under the permissive MIT open source license, and is currently at version 0.6.0. It has not been tested in large production deployments yet, and the policy schema is subject to change before the 1.0 stable release. It is important to note that this tool is not a sandbox, it cannot block malicious agents from bypassing its governance layer. It also does not automatically classify files as garbage; all governance rules are set by the user’s custom policy, and it only provides local audit, not distributed or court-grade notary functionality.

workspace-metabolism 是一个用于治理AI编码agent遗留文件的MCP服务器和命令行工具,支持包括DeepSeek Harness、Claude Code在内的多种AI编码agent。它提供基于策略的审计、可回滚的清理、文件恢复和哈希链验证功能,基于Python 3.11开发,零额外依赖,可通过pip安装,兼容Windows、Linux、macOS三大平台。

这款工具主要面向使用AI编码agent进行开发的开发者,解决AI agent在工作区留下大量临时文件、缓存和废弃目录却无人清理的问题。典型工作流是先通过wm doctor扫描未受管控的残留文件生成策略建议,用户确认后生成策略文件,之后执行审计、清理操作,需要时可以回滚所有清理操作。

该项目采用MIT许可证开源,目前处于v0.6.0版本,尚未用于大规模生产部署,策略模式在v1.0之前可能会发生变动。它不是沙箱工具,也不会自动判断文件是否废弃,所有管控规则都由用户自定义的策略决定,仅做本地审计,不提供分布式公证功能。

The problem

AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, …) share one thing — your workspace — and they leave a trail of scratch files, caches and staged directories behind. Nobody owns the cleanup: deleting by hand is irreversible, scheduled scripts have no audit trail, and the next agent run works in the garbage the last one left.

workspace-metabolism is the policy layer for that: one metabolism.json decides what every path is worth (G1 never touch → G4 auto), nothing is ever deleted by pattern — items move to a recycle area with per-file SHA-256 hashes and rollback restores them exactly — and every action lands in a hash-chained journal that verify can audit.

Try it in 30 seconds:

pip install workspace-metabolism
wm doctor --residue                  # what agent byproducts your policy doesn't govern yet
wm doctor --residue --apply-policy   # adopt the suggestions as policy entries (creates the file if missing)
wm audit                             # read-only checkup with health score
