Cowork OS

A free plugin that keeps your Claude Cowork workspace lean, so your sessions last longer and nothing gets lost between them.

Claude Cowork is brilliant until your workspace fills up. The clutter reloads every session and eats the tokens you needed for real work.

Cowork OS is ten small skills that run and tidy the workspace for you. It loads only what each task needs, keeps your memory lean, files your notes where they belong, sets up new projects and reminders, and learns how you work as it goes.

It never changes or deletes anything without your say-so, and it backs up before it replaces a file. I built it for my own workspace, then took my own data out so anyone can run it.

Download Cowork OS, free Download the install guide (PDF)

Install it in Claude Cowork from the Customize menu, then type "optimise my workspace". It walks you through the rest. The one-page guide covers the same steps and what each of the ten skills does.
