Sidebar order is now Start here -> Working with agents -> Manual setup
(optional) -> Use cases -> Self-hosting -> Reference -> Concepts.
README and CLAUDE.md carry the group order and the rule for what belongs
in each, so both move with it.

The sidebar and the homepage disagreed. index.md's "Where to start"
already led with connecting an agent, but the left rail read Install
(brew) -> Quickstart (bdrive login, bdrive init) -> ... -> Connect an
agent, three groups down. Anyone following the rail met the CLI first and
the skill last — the opposite of how the product is meant to be adopted.
The agent page was also filed under guides/, which this repo defines as
agent-workflow docs rather than setup.
Sidebar order is now the recommended path, and that path is agent-first:
Start here what it is -> set up with your agent -> your first hour
Working with agents shared memory, artifacts, read heat, scoping
Manual setup (opt) install the CLI, set up by hand, skills and hooks
Self-hosting / Reference / Concepts unchanged
- start/setup (was guides/connect-an-agent): rewritten as the front door.
Claude Code's plugin, then the one-paste for Codex/Gemini/Hermes, then
what the agent just installed and how to check it.
- start/first-hour (new): the page that was missing — ask for a doc, get
a link back, share it, a teammate's agent picks it up. What success
looks like without a command you have to type.
- manual/skills-and-hooks (new): the mechanics lifted out of the old
onboarding page — per-platform paths, hook events, idempotency,
project-level vs per-user — so the Start page can stay conversational.
- manual/install and manual/setup-by-hand (were start/*): both now open
by saying you probably don't need them, and link back to the agent path.
- index.md leads with "You don't install it — you ask your agent to";
the CLI and hub sentence moves below it.
No `brew install` appears anywhere in Start here. Reference -> CLI stays
exactly where it was: the people most likely to self-host are CLI-first,
and burying it would read as condescending.
Three public URLs moved, so astro.config.mjs declares redirects. Static
builds emit meta-refresh only, so README carries copy-paste 301 rules for
the host — Firebase Hosting and a Cloud Storage + load balancer URL map.
Verified: 18 pages build, zero broken internal links across the built
output, all three redirects resolve. CLAUDE.md and the docs README record
the rule so this doesn't quietly revert.

Adds web/docs — the public product documentation, built with Astro +
Starlight and deployed on its own rather than embedded in the binary.
Why a standalone site in the OSS repo, rather than a section of the cloud
landing page:
- Docs change far more often than the binary does. Embedding them would
mean a Go rebuild and redeploy to fix a typo, and would ship a Pagefind
search index inside every self-hoster's install.
- Self-hosting instructions and the CLI reference document the OSS
project, so "edit this page" should resolve to something an outside
contributor can open a PR against.
- Design tokens get easier, not harder: scripts/tokens.mjs generates
src/styles/tokens.gen.css from the @theme block in the hub frontend's
tw.css, so there is one source of truth and nothing to police. (The
cloud landing sits across a module edge and has to keep a *copy*,
guarded by its own check-tokens.mjs.) custom.css maps Starlight's
--sl-color-* onto those tokens and invents no colors of its own.
Content is seeded from README.md, docs/self-hosting.md, and the plugin
skill. Guides deliberately cover agent workflows — connecting an agent,
the two-file AGENTS.md orientation pattern, artifacts and links, read
heat, scoping the folder — rather than re-teaching the CLI, which lives
in Reference.
starlight-llms-txt emits /llms.txt at build. Convention wants that at the
root domain, so beardrive.ai/llms.txt should point here; that redirect
belongs to the cloud landing and is the one cross-repo coordination point
this split introduces.
