Replace the old "append conventions to CLAUDE.md" step with a two-file pattern for teaching agents a newly mounted shared folder: - <shared>/AGENTS.md (synced): the team's single source of truth for the folder's structure and conventions — scaffolded once by the project creator, read (never rewritten) by joiners. - A repo-root AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md pointer (per machine, not synced): the awareness/routing layer. Required because discovery differs by platform — Claude Code and Hermes load nested instruction files lazily (only after entering the folder), and Codex never discovers them at all (root→cwd path only). SKILL.md gains a "Teaching agents the folder" section with the platform discovery table and a first-contact orientation ritual; /beardrive:install step 4 and /beardrive:init step 6 now offer both files as separate consents; install.md step 3 gains the same never-sync-a-repo-root hard rule init.md already had; README/CLAUDE.md descriptions updated.

| Start syncing a project in this folder — create a new BearDrive project or connect an existing one, whole folder or a shared subfolder, and start the sync daemon | [folder] [--name <project> | --project <p-id>] [--shared <dir>] |
Start syncing a project with BearDrive. Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (optional
folder, optional --name/--project/--shared).
Follow these steps:
-
Check the bdrive CLI is installed: run
command -v bdrive. If missing, offer to install it (brew install runbear-io/tap/beardrive, orgo install github.com/runbear-io/beardrive/cmd/bdrive@latest) and wait for the user's choice before installing. -
Sign in if needed: run
bdrive login --status. With no server or a stale token, runbdrive login(tell the user a browser window is coming; it completes by itself). Default server is beardrive.ai; pass a self-hosted URL if the user mentioned one. -
Detect knowledge tooling (skip if the folder already contains
.bdrive/— then just runbdrive init --yes; it resumes syncing, including after a rename/move). Check, in order — first match wins, ask if two match (full playbook: the beardrive skill's "Connecting knowledge tooling" section):- gbrain (
gbrain.yml, or a gbrain MCP server / brain-first CLAUDE.md block) → offer to sync the brain's shared subfolder as its own project; never a brain root, and one enrichment owner per shared folder (everyone else indexes read-only — see the skill). - OKF wiki (markdown with OKF frontmatter) → offer: connect the
wiki dir via
--shared, or keep it PR-gated and create a new shared folder. - Wiki-ish folder (
docs/wiki/notesfull of markdown) → checkgit log -- <dir>; dormant → recommend connecting it, active PR traffic → recommend a new shared folder. Offer an OKF upgrade (openknowledge from) after connecting, as a separate consent. - Nothing / empty → offer a starting point in this order: OKF (recommended), gbrain, blank, describe-it.
- gbrain (
-
Initialize — two hard rules:
- Never sync a repo root: inside a repo, knowledge syncs as a
scoped subfolder via
--shared. A dedicated knowledge folder (empty dir, standalone vault) may be the mount itself. - One transport per folder: a git-tracked dir must leave git
tracking before it syncs (
git rm -r --cached <dir>+ gitignore; stage it, let the user commit). Offer one-way git snapshots if they want a git record;bdrive log -p <path>covers history for most.
bdrive init --name <project> --yes # dedicated knowledge folder bdrive init --name <project> --shared wiki # in a repo: only ./wiki syncs - Never sync a repo root: inside a repo, knowledge syncs as a
scoped subfolder via
-
Register agent sync hooks: run
bdrive hooks install <folder>. It detects the agent platforms in use (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Hermes — by their config dirs in the project or home) and idempotently merges beardrive's sync hooks into each platform's own hook config, so files pull at every turn start, push after edits, every change is stamped with the agent session that made it, and agent file reads feed the hub's read heatmap (queued locally bybdrive read-log, reported on the next sync). Tell the user which platforms got hooks; if Codex is among them, mention they must run/hooksinside Codex once to trust the project's.codexlayer. -
Verify: run
bdrive status <folder>and confirm the daemon is running and pending is 0. Summarize: project name/id, what syncs, and that edits propagate to every team member within seconds. Offer the two-file agent orientation, each part as its own consent (full flow: the skill's "Teaching agents the folder" section): a synced<shared>/AGENTS.mdmapping the folder — draft it if this user is creating the project, read and follow it if joining — and, for--sharedmounts inside a repo, a short pointer to it in the repo root'sAGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md(the only file Codex loads, and what makes any agent aware the folder matters). Then tell the user how teammates connect (invite link →bdrive init→ same--sharedscope, which is per-device).
For the full team setup (the AGENTS.md orientation + per-project sync
hooks in .claude/settings.json), suggest /beardrive:install instead.
