 `--json` emits an array of rows for an agent — `{file, status, self}` where `status` is `rewritable` (with the full `self-description/1` object), `not_a_rewritable`, or `error` (with a `reason`). The scan is lenient like its namesake: one bad path among many is a row, not a fatal exit, so a completed scan exits `0`. This is how an agent handed a project learns its whole rewritable inventory — and every container's affordances — in a single call.
 
+### `rwa workspace create <dir>` / `rwa workspace sync [dir]`
+
+Create or refresh a folder-level control center at `<dir>/rwa-index.html`. The index is itself a rewritable of kind `workspace`: it contains editable shared context for the directory (workspace memory, guidelines, examples, open questions), opens as a dashboard of sibling rewritable documents, and carries a frozen `<script id="rwa-workspace" type="application/rwa-workspace+json">` manifest generated from the directory inventory.
+
+```sh
+rwa workspace create notes/
+rwa new notes/project-brief.html
+rwa new notes/research-log.html
+rwa workspace sync notes/
+```
+
+`create` makes the directory if needed and refuses to overwrite an existing `rwa-index.html` unless `--force` is passed. `sync` refreshes an existing index, or creates it if absent, using the current sibling `.html` rewritables in that directory. The scan is non-recursive and skips non-rewritable HTML files plus the index itself. The editable context block is preserved across sync, so notes like blog style guidelines and canonical examples survive inventory refreshes.
+
+This first pass is intentionally simple: it does not merge documents, schedule automations, or expand the skill-host runtime. It gives a directory a portable, editable shared brain plus a truthful machine-readable manifest that other rewritables can use as context.
+
+When the workspace index is open, it also listens on the runtime bus for same-directory rewritables that are currently open. Those live documents appear under **Open now** and are marked `new since sync` until the next `rwa workspace sync` writes them into the durable manifest. This is live presence only: unopened files still require `sync` because a browser page cannot enumerate arbitrary local directories by itself.
+
 ### `rwa publish <path>`
 
 Publish a local rewritable to the hosted share service and get back a URL. A rewritable is already shareable as a file — it's a self-contained `.html` you can email or host anywhere — but `rwa publish` is the one-command path to an *anonymous, hosted* snapshot: create with `rwa new`, edit locally, publish.
