Companion to [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com) and [GitHub Copilot CLI](https://docs.github.com/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli). Prebuilt for Windows x64, Linux x64, and macOS arm64.

Switching between AI coding projects is slow. Every switch means re-attaching folders, re-explaining context, and often starting a fresh session — even if you were in the middle of something yesterday.

`wl` saves each project setup (repos, folders, instructions, skills) under a name you pick, then launches it through your AI CLI. Switch between them with one command; resume the previous session when you want.

Your repo's shared context (`CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`) stays the team's. `wl` adds your personal layer on top — not committed, not shared.

A workspace is a local folder outside your repos, storing the launch config, optional instructions, optional prompts, optional skills, and a pointer to the last session.

This is what using `wl` looks like:

Example

From your project folder:

cd ~/repos/ctx-launcher
wl create wl-dev

Open the workspace from any directory:

wl launch wl-dev

Come back later and continue the same session:

wl launch wl-dev --resume

What you can do with it

Launch a saved workspace by name, from any directory
Switch between projects without re-explaining context or re-attaching folders
See which workspace is active at a glance — Claude Code shows the name in its statusline and terminal tab; Copilot tracks the session by UUID + name internally
