Deal Templates
Deal templates choose which dynamic plugin Deal tabs are visible when a new top-level Deal is created. They do not enable or disable plugins for the whole vault and do not affect global sidebar tools.
Built-in templates
| Template | Deal tabs |
|---|---|
| General | Notes, Files, Journal, Activity, Browser Inbox |
| Project | Notes, Files, Todos, Journal, Activity, Browser Inbox |
| Writing | Notes, Files, Journal |
| Admin | Notes, Files, Secrets, Todos, Journal |
| Minimal | Notes, Files |
The create-Deal modal displays the selected template description and its included plugin tabs before the folder is created.
Metadata and compatibility
Creation stores a template snapshot in .verstak/workspaces/ metadata. The
snapshot contains the template id, name, version, applied time, and an ordered
workspaceTools list of plugin IDs. Existing Deal metadata without
workspaceTools remains compatible: its Deal continues to show all globally
enabled Deal plugins rather than unexpectedly hiding tabs.
Templates are applied once. Editing the built-in catalog or creating another Deal with a different template never changes an existing Deal snapshot. There is no template editor or post-creation template switcher yet.
Global tools and unavailable plugins
Template visibility applies only to workspaceItems in the selected Deal.
Global views and sidebar items, such as global Todos, Browser Inbox, and Trash,
remain available according to the normal plugin enablement state.
The Deal host intersects the snapshot with dynamically discovered, globally enabled plugin contributions. If a template references a plugin that is missing or disabled, that tab is simply absent; the other template tabs remain usable.
