Recipes — save and reapply layouts

A recipe freezes your current setup — the panes you have open, where they sit, how they look — into a card you can reapply later. Build your ideal “deep work” or “streaming” arrangement once and get it back on demand.

  1. Arrange the workspace the way you like it.
  2. Say save recipe in the command bar (or use the Save as recipe command) and give it a title and description.
  3. A recipe card pane appears; it lists the captured panes as steps.

Open the recipe card and apply it — the captured panes open in their saved positions with their saved styling. Your current panes stay put; a recipe adds its layout rather than wiping the canvas.

Mastery HQ ships six ready-made domain workspaces — open the picker from Tools (wrench) → Recipes, or say “starter recipes” (or a name like “open the blog studio”):

  • Blog Studio — a Writer, an agent, and the browser for drafting and polishing an article.
  • Research Desk — the browser plus a Writer for a synthesized brief.
  • App Factory — an agent, a terminal, a Kanban board, and a device preview.
  • Marketing Studio — a copy Writer, a content-calendar board, an agent, and the browser.
  • Data Lab — an agent and its terminal sandbox for analysis, plus a report Writer.
  • Video Studio — a script Writer, an agent, the Music pane, and the browser.

Each opens its panes prewired and seeds the Writer with the domain’s conventions and a few first commands. Like any recipe, it adds to your current canvas rather than wiping it.

  • Recipe cards are panes too: they persist in the workspace, move, and resize like everything else.
  • Recipes capture pane content data (a browser pane’s URL, a kanban board’s cards) but not live agent conversations.
  • For switching between whole environments rather than layouts, use multiple workspaces instead.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does a recipe capture?

Every open pane's kind, title, position, size, styling, and content data — enough to rebuild the setup exactly. It does not capture agent conversations; reapplied agent panes start fresh.
