Excerpt

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.
