last-1on1

name: last-1on1 description: "Show when you last had a 1:1 with each direct report / peer, sorted by recency. Flags people who haven't had one in N weeks. Powered by the OneOnOnes view on Meetings.base." license: MIT compatibility: Requires Obsidian CLI (base:query) with Obsidian running and Meetings.base (OneOnOnes view).

Last 1:1

Usage

• /last-1on1 — Show last 1:1 date per person across all of your 1:1s. Default flag threshold: 2 weeks (anything older highlighted).
• /last-1on1 <weeks> — Custom flag threshold (e.g. /last-1on1 3).
• /last-1on1 @Name — Just for one person.

Why this skill exists

Direct-report 1:1s and peer syncs are easy to skip when calendars get busy. This skill surfaces the gap — "haven't talked to [[@Alex Kim]] in 3 weeks" — so the next scheduling round prioritizes them.

Workflow

Step 1: Pull the source data

Query obsidian base:query path=Meetings.base view=OneOnOnes format=json. Returns every meeting under Meetings/One-on-ones/ and Meetings/Tech Syncs/ with file.ctime and Participants columns.

Step 2: Aggregate by person

For each meeting, extract the participant name(s) from Participants (skipping [[@Me]] and team links like [[+Engineering]]). For each participant, track the most recent file.ctime.

Edge case: the file ctime is when the note was created, which is usually the day of the meeting — but for older imported notes it may be the import date. If a meeting filename has a YYYY-MM-DD suffix, prefer that over file.ctime.

Step 3: Present sorted table

Sort by last_date ASC (oldest first — most overdue at the top):

| # | Person | Last 1:1 | Days ago | Status |
|---|--------|----------|----------|--------|
| 1 | [[@Jane Doe]] | 2026-02-05 | 117 | 🔴 overdue |
| 2 | [[@John Smith]] | 2026-04-09 | 54 | 🔴 overdue |
| 3 | [[@Alex Kim]] | 2026-05-06 | 27 | 🟡 due soon |
| 4 | [[@Sam Rivera]] | 2026-05-26 | 7 | ✅ recent |
| 5 | [[@Pat Lee]] | 2026-05-27 | 6 | ✅ recent |

• 🔴 overdue: days_ago > threshold * 2 (default >28 days)
• 🟡 due soon: threshold < days_ago <= threshold * 2
• ✅ recent: days_ago <= threshold

Step 4: Offer next action

After the table, suggest:

• "Schedule a 1:1 with the top-3 overdue: [[@Jane Doe]], [[@John Smith]], [[@Alex Kim]]?"
• For each, optionally /meeting <Name> x Me to create a stub for the upcoming meeting.

This skill is read-only — it doesn't write to the vault.

Important Notes

• Skip [[+Engineering]] and other team links in Participants — those aren't 1:1s, they're group meetings that happen to live in Tech Syncs / One-on-ones (rare but exists).
• Skip people whose @Name.md has an End Date set (they left the team — no need to schedule a 1:1).
• If a person appears in OneOnOnes but has no Teams/People/@Name.md file, surface it as a hint (likely a candidate for /people-stubs).
• No commit step — read-only skill.
