+# Workspace Scripts
+
+Execute custom scripts from your workspace using slash commands or let the AI Agent run them as tools.
+
+## Overview
+
+Scripts are stored in `.mux/scripts/` within each workspace. They serve two purposes:
+
+1. **Human Use**: Executable via `/script <name>` or `/s <name>` in chat.
+2. **Agent Use**: Automatically exposed to the AI as tools (`script_<name>`), allowing the agent to run complex workflows you define.
+
+Scripts run in the workspace directory with full access to project secrets and environment variables.
+
+**Key Point**: Scripts are workspace-specific. Each workspace has its own custom toolkit defined in `.mux/scripts/`.
+
+## Creating Scripts
+
+1. **Create the scripts directory**:
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p .mux/scripts
+   ```
+
+2. **Add an executable script**:
+
+   ```bash
+   #!/usr/bin/env bash
+   # Description: Deploy to staging. Accepts one optional argument: 'dry-run' to simulate.
+
+   if [ "${1:-}" == "dry-run" ]; then
+     echo "Simulating deployment..."
+   else
+     echo "Deploying to staging..."
+   fi
+   ```
+
+   **Crucial**: The `# Description:` line is what the AI reads to understand the tool. Be descriptive about what the script does and what arguments it accepts.
+
+3. **Make it executable**:
+
+   ```bash
+   chmod +x .mux/scripts/deploy
+   ```
+
+## Agent Integration (AI Tools)
+
+Every executable script in `.mux/scripts/` is automatically registered as a tool for the AI Agent.
+
+- **Tool Name**: `script_<name>` (e.g., `deploy` -> `script_deploy`, `run-tests` -> `script_run_tests`)
+- **Tool Description**: Taken from the script's header comment (`# Description: ...`).
+- **Arguments**: The AI can pass an array of string arguments to the script.
+
+### Optimization for AI
+
+To make your scripts effective AI tools:
+
+1. **Clear Descriptions**: Explicitly state what the script does and what arguments it expects.
+
+   ```bash
+   # Description: Fetch logs. Requires one argument: the environment name (dev|prod).
+   ```
+
+2. **Robustness**: Use `set -euo pipefail` to ensure the script fails loudly if something goes wrong, allowing the AI to catch the error.
+3. **Clear Output**: Write structured output to stdout so the agent can understand results and take action.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Execution
+
+Type `/s` or `/script` in chat to see available scripts with auto-completion:
+
+```
+/s deploy
+```
+
+### With Arguments
+
+Pass arguments to scripts:
+
+```
+/s deploy --dry-run
+/script test --verbose --coverage
+```
+
+Arguments are passed directly to the script as `$1`, `$2`, etc.
+
+## Execution Context
+
+Scripts run with:
+
+- **Working directory**: The workspace directory.
+- **Environment**: Full workspace environment + project secrets + special cmux variables.
+- **Timeout**: 5 minutes by default.
+- **Streams**: stdout/stderr are captured.
+  - **Human**: Visible in the chat card.
+  - **Agent**: Returned as the tool execution result.
+
+### Standard Streams
+
+Scripts follow Unix conventions for output:
+
+- **stdout**: Sent to the agent as the tool result. Use this for structured output the agent should act on.
+- **stderr**: Shown to the user in the UI but **not** sent to the agent. Use this for progress messages, logs, or debugging info that doesn't need AI attention.
+
+This design means scripts work identically whether run inside mux or directly from the command line.
+
+#### Example: Test Runner
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# Description: Run tests and report failures for the agent to fix
+
+set -euo pipefail
+
+# Progress to stderr (user sees it, agent doesn't)
+echo "Running test suite..." >&2
+
+if npm test > test.log 2>&1; then
+  # Success message to stdout (agent sees it)
+  echo "✅ All tests passed"
+else
+  # Structured failure info to stdout (agent sees and can act on it)
+  cat << EOF
+❌ Tests failed. Here is the log:
+
+\`\`\`
+$(cat test.log)
+\`\`\`
+
+Please analyze this error and propose a fix.
+EOF
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+**Result**:
+
+1. User sees "Running test suite..." progress message.
+2. On failure, agent receives the structured error with test log and instructions.
+3. Agent can immediately analyze and propose fixes.
+
+## Example Scripts
+
+### Deployment Script
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# Description: Deploy application. Accepts one arg: environment (default: staging).
+set -euo pipefail
+
+ENV=${1:-staging}
+echo "Deploying to $ENV..."
+# ... deployment logic ...
+echo "Deployment complete!"
+```
+
+### Web Fetch Utility
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# Description: Fetch a URL. Accepts exactly one argument: the URL.
+set -euo pipefail
+
+if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
+    echo "Usage: $0 <url>"
+    exit 1
+fi
+curl -sL "$1"
+```
+
+## Script Discovery
+
+- Scripts are discovered automatically from `.mux/scripts/` in the current workspace.
+- Discovery is cached for performance but refreshes intelligently.
+- **Sanitization**: Script names are sanitized for tool use (e.g., `my-script.sh` -> `script_my_script_sh`).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Script not appearing in suggestions or tools?**
+
+- Ensure file is executable: `chmod +x .mux/scripts/scriptname`
+- Verify file is in `.mux/scripts/` directory.
+- Check for valid description header.
+
+**Agent using script incorrectly?**
+
+- Improve the `# Description:` header. Explicitly tell the agent what arguments to pass.
