Workspace Mode

Usage

  • /workspace-mode — List available workspaces and the current one.
  • /workspace-mode <name> — Switch to a named workspace.
  • /workspace-mode save <name> — Save current pane layout as a new workspace (delegates to Obsidian's Workspace plugin command).

Why this skill exists

Different work modes want different layouts:

  • interview: Meetings.base Interviews view + the active candidate's @Name.md + a blank scratchpad pane.
  • scrum: Today's Meetings/Engineering/Scrum/YYYY-MM-DD.md + Tracker.md + Meetings.base Pending view.
  • 1-on-1: OneOnOnes view + the current person's @Name.md + their last 1:1 note.
  • recap: Recaps/ folder + Meetings.base ThisWeek view + Tracker.md.

Switching by hand means dragging panes around. This skill flips between saved layouts in one command.

Workflow

Step 1: List or switch

  • No args → run obsidian workspace format=json and present the list with the current one starred.
  • <name> arg → run obsidian workspace load name=<name> (or use the Obsidian "Workspaces: Load workspace" command if load isn't a direct subcommand: obsidian command name="Workspaces: Load workspace layout").

Step 2: Save

  • save <name> → run obsidian command name="Workspaces: Save layout" then prompt for the name in Obsidian's modal. (Or use obsidian eval to call the plugin API directly if needed.)

Suggested workspace presets

These don't exist out of the box — the user creates them once in Obsidian via Workspaces plugin, then this skill flips between them:

WorkspaceFiles / Views Open
interviewMeetings.base (Interviews view), latest interview note, blank scratchpad
scrumToday's Scrum daily, Tracker.md, Meetings.base (Pending view)
1-on-1Meetings.base (OneOnOnes view), People.base (Active view)
recapRecaps/Recap YYYY-MM-DD.md, Meetings.base (ThisWeek view), Tracker.md
defaultThe main layout (current)

Important Notes

  • Workspaces are stored in Obsidian's .obsidian/workspaces.json — they're per-vault, not per-device.
  • Requires the Workspaces core plugin enabled in Obsidian.
  • Read-only by default — only save writes (and that's to .obsidian/workspaces.json, not vault content). No commit step.
