Studio workspace

Set up the workspace around your firm’s conventions.

What it does

Ask Norma to open an existing studio or prepare a new one in the folder you choose. Norma configures the local workspace around your naming, units, document placement and project-registration preferences.

Install

Usage

Ask Norma in plain language. With Arch Studio connected through MCP, no $ or / command is required. Norma is your assistant working with Arch Studio.

Use Arch Studio to prepare a new studio workspace at this selected folder. Use millimetres, our supplied naming rules and no default jurisdiction. Show the exact files and project-registration approach before creating them.

The full catalog lives in your assistant once Arch Studio is connected. Ask: Norma, what can you do? List the skills, tools, agents and workflows available in this host, grouped by practice area.

What it configures

Firm conventions

Norma records your selected units, naming policy, jurisdiction preference and stage vocabulary.

Workspace structure

Norma uses the confirmed folders and document-placement rules rather than imposing a cloud storage service.

Project directory

Norma registers projects and maintains routing to their records. Valid standalone projects can remain standalone.
