Workspaces in komorebi are unrelated to Windows Virtual Desktops; they are implemented as a thin layer on top of the existing DWM by showing and hiding windows programmatically. You have a few options for workspace creation right now:

komorebic.exe ensure workspaces MONITOR_IDX DESIRED_WORKSPACE_COUNT

This is usually run at the start of a config file to ensure the minimum number of workspaces that you want to work with on each monitor.

komorebic.exe focus-workspace WORKSPACE_IDX

This will try to switch to the given workspace index on the active monitor, and if it doesn't exist, it will be created, along with any other required workspace indices on the way. For example, if you only have one workspace (0) on the monitor, and you try to focus workspace index 3, workspaces 1 and 2 will also be created in the process.

I think it's a good idea to have a command that will just append a new workspace on the currently focused monitor (similar to the Win+Ctrl+D behaviour); I'll open a separate ticket to track this.
