Snow LeeandClaude Fable 5 26e67e3188 feat(gtm): round 4 — every try-path is self-host-first, no surface defaults into the dead cloud
Reviewer round 4 (9/6/9/9/7/9) caught that round 3 only fixed the
Quick start: the bare-login default survived in the four highest-
traffic surfaces. All inverted to self-host-first:

- README HERO code block (+ the other-machine one-liner and the
  every-other-device shorthand): bdrive login https://your-hub, with
  Cloud as a clearly-labeled waitlist callout
- plugin/commands/install.md + init.md step 2: ask for the team's hub
  URL; bare 'bdrive login' explicitly flagged as targeting the
  not-yet-open Cloud
- SKILL.md walkthrough step 1 + the hub-example comment
- website hero terminal animation: 'syncing → your team's hub', share
  URL on a neutral acme-hub.example host (og:url and the coming-soon
  card untouched — those are honest)
- README's login reference sentence now says the beardrive.ai default
  is waitlist-only

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:

  1. Check the bdrive CLI is installed: run command -v bdrive. If missing, offer to install it (brew install runbear-io/tap/beardrive, or go install github.com/runbear-io/beardrive/cmd/bdrive@latest) and wait for the user's choice before installing.

  2. Sign in if needed: run bdrive login --status. With no valid session, ask the user for their team's hub URL and run bdrive login https://their-hub (tell the user a browser window is coming; it completes by itself). Bare bdrive login targets BearDrive Cloud, which is not open yet — only use it if the user says their team is on the cloud beta.

  3. Detect knowledge tooling (skip if the folder already contains .bdrive/ — then just run bdrive 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/notes full of markdown) → check git 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.
  4. 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
    
  5. 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 — native reads, grep matches, and files named in shell commands — feed the hub's read heatmap (queued locally by bdrive read-log, reported on the next sync). Tell the user which platforms got hooks; if Codex is among them, mention they must run /hooks inside Codex once to trust the project's .codex layer.

  6. 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.md mapping the folder — draft it if this user is creating the project, read and follow it if joining — and, for --shared mounts inside a repo, a short pointer to it in the repo root's AGENTS.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 --shared scope, 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.
