Workspace Layout — Start With LAYOUT.md

Overview

A relayfile mount is self-describing. Every workspace has a LAYOUT.md at its root, and every provider has a LAYOUT.md at its provider root, that together describe the directory shape, the filename conventions, and the indexes available for fast lookup. Read these first. Do not guess paths from memory — provider layouts can be customized per workspace and the indexes available may differ.

When to use this skill

• You just connected to a relayfile mount and have no prior context about its shape.
• You need to find a specific resource (a Notion page by title, a Linear issue by number, a Slack channel by name).
• You're tempted to run find or grep -r across the mount — almost always there is an index that does it cheaper.
• You see paths in someone else's code or in a digest and want to understand them.

If the user is asking an activity-summary question ("what did I work on yesterday"), use the activity-summary skill instead. This skill is for resource lookup, not time-windowed queries.
