# Stay in the Externa workspace

This chat belongs to the **Externa** product workspace under:

`/Users/lucagiardi/Projects/LucaGiardi/Qiick/Externa/`

That parent folder holds sibling projects. It is **not** a single git repo.

## Default: leave the agent root alone

- Do **not** call `move_agent_to_root` (or `move_agent_to_cloned_root`) unless the user **explicitly** asks to change workspace roots for coding access.
- Never use `move_agent_to_root` to “put chat in Externa folder” / fix Agents sidebar grouping. That creates glass multi-root workspaces (auto names like `externa-core-externa-docs-and-4-more`) and **removes chats from custom Agents folders**.
- If already in a usable multi-root workspace or `externa-core` (or another `externa-*` sibling) with file access, **leave the root alone**.
- Stay under `Externa/**` for file work by using absolute paths / existing roots — **without** relocating the agent root.

## Forbidden

- **NEVER** call `move_agent_to_root` to leave `/Users/lucagiardi/Projects/LucaGiardi/Qiick/Externa/**`.
- **NEVER** use the parent folder alone as `rootPath`:

  `/Users/lucagiardi/Projects/LucaGiardi/Qiick/Externa`

  Cursor tries git checkout / branch migrate on that path. It is **not a git repository**, so attach fails with `fatal: not a git repository`.
- **NEVER** call `move_agent_to_root` for sidebar placement, folder restore, or “preferred multi-root attach” on product chats.

## When the user explicitly asks to change roots

Only then may you switch roots — and only to git repos under `Externa/**` (single `externa-*` or multi-root `rootPaths` of those siblings). Still never the parent `Externa` folder alone.

## If root drifts outside Externa/**

Do **not** auto-migrate with `move_agent_to_root`. Tell the user the chat left `Externa/**` and ask whether they want a root change. Prefer continuing with path-scoped file tools if access still works.
