A subdirectory with its own .bdrive/config.json now syncs only through its own project: the parent mount never scans into it, materializes over it, or emits deletes for paths under it (cached paths are dropped without delete ops, the same posture as newly ignored files). Detection is presence-based (config.IsMount) so even a corrupt nested config still fences. This makes the team-knowledge-folder-inside-a-personal- mount topology safe. The plugin's init command and skill gain a "connecting knowledge tooling" playbook: a detection ladder (gbrain -> OKF wiki -> plain docs folder -> starting-point menu) and two hard rules — one transport per folder (git-tracked dirs are handed off via git rm --cached + gitignore before syncing) and knowledge-as-scoped-subfolder (never a repo root). Conflict copies documented with their exact glob (*.bdrive-conflict-*), since openknowledge validate cannot see them. New flow tests: shared-subfolder scope both ways, teammate connect over identical/divergent local content, nested mount syncing independently on two projects, and a guard pinning the conflict-copy filename to the documented glob.

| 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. - 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.

-
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
-
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 a consent-gated CLAUDE.md note and tell the user how teammates connect (invite link →bdrive init→ same--sharedscope, which is per-device).
For the full team setup (CLAUDE.md guidance + per-project sync hooks in
.claude/settings.json), suggest /beardrive:install instead.
