# Workbay

Workbay is a Windows desktop plugin for Obsidian that discovers, runs, and observes local services and tools from one workspace.

## Prototype status

Workbay is an early prototype. Use it with caution and only with services and commands you trust. It reads and writes the configured service root outside your Obsidian vault to discover and edit service manifests, status files, and run locks. It also starts only the local commands explicitly configured in those manifests; no commands are sent to a remote service.

## License

Workbay is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. See [LICENSE](LICENSE).

## Current capabilities

- Scan a configured service root directory for `manifest.json` files.
- Display services and their configured actions.
- Run local executable, Python, batch, and other explicitly configured commands.
- Read service `status.json` files and recent command output.
- Display Windows Task Scheduler status and related warning or error events.
- Create and edit service manifests from Obsidian.

## Development

```bash
npm install
npm run build
```

Copy `main.js`, `manifest.json`, and `styles.css` to:

```text
<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/workbay/
```

Enable Workbay under **Settings > Community plugins**, then configure a service root directory in the plugin settings.

## Service manifest

Each service provides its own `manifest.json`:

```json
{
  "schemaVersion": 1,
  "id": "daily-report",
  "name": "Daily report",
  "kind": "cli",
  "enabled": true,
  "actions": [
    {
      "id": "run",
      "name": "Run",
      "command": {
        "program": "C:\\Python312\\python.exe",
        "args": ["run.py"],
        "workingDirectory": "."
      },
      "statusFile": "status.json"
    }
  ]
}
```
