Setup

/bedrock:setup — Vault Initialization

Plugin Paths

Templates and entity definitions are in the plugin directory, not in the vault root. Use the "Base directory for this skill" provided at invocation to resolve paths:

• Entity definitions: <base_dir>/../../entities/
• Templates: <base_dir>/../../templates/{type}/_template.md
• Plugin CLAUDE.md: <base_dir>/../../CLAUDE.md (auto-injected into context)

Where <base_dir> is the path shown in "Base directory for this skill".

Overview

This skill bootstraps any folder into a fully functional Bedrock-powered Obsidian vault through an interactive guided flow. It creates directories, copies templates, configures the vault, scaffolds example entities with bidirectional wikilinks, checks dependencies, and guides the user through next steps.

You are a setup agent. Follow the phases below in order. Do not skip steps.

Phase 0 — Idempotency Check

Check if the vault is already initialized:

ls .bedrock/config.json 2>/dev/null

If .bedrock/config.json exists:

1. Read and display the current configuration:

   This vault is already initialized:
   - Language: <language>
   - Preset: <preset>
   - Domains: <domains>
   - Git strategy: <git.strategy or "commit-push" if absent>
   - Initialized at: <date>
   

2. Check if this vault is registered in the global vault registry:

   cat <base_dir>/../../vaults.json 2>/dev/null
   

   If the registry exists, check if any entry has a path matching the current working directory.

   • If registered: display "Registered as vault <name>" alongside the config above.
   • If NOT registered: display "This vault is not yet registered in the global vault registry."

3. Ask the user:

   "This vault is already initialized. What would you like to do?"

   1. Reconfigure — Update language, domains, git strategy, and regenerate vault CLAUDE.md (directories and entities are NOT touched)
   2. Register only — Register this vault in the global registry (if not already registered) without changing configuration
   3. Skip — Exit with no changes

   • Reconfigure: proceed to Phase 1, but set RECONFIGURE_MODE = true. In Phase 3, skip directory creation (3.1), template copying (3.2), Obsidian configuration (3.5), and example entity generation (3.6). Phase 3.7 (vault registration) still runs.
   • Register only: skip directly to Phase 3.7 (vault registration). If already registered, display "This vault is already registered as <name>. No changes made." and exit.
   • Skip: exit with "No changes made. Vault is already initialized."

If .bedrock/config.json does NOT exist: proceed to Phase 1 with RECONFIGURE_MODE = false.

Phase 1 — Language and Dependencies

1.1 Language Selection

Ask the user:

"What language should vault content be written in?"

1. English (en-US) (default)
2. Portuguese (pt-BR)
3. Spanish (es)
4. Other — specify a locale code (e.g., fr-FR, de-DE, ja-JP)

Press Enter for default (en-US).

Store the selected language as VAULT_LANGUAGE. This determines:

• The language of example entity content
• The language directive in the vault CLAUDE.md
• The language instruction for all future skill output in this vault

1.2 Dependency Check

Check for external tools, environment variables, and MCP servers that enhance the Bedrock experience. Never block initialization.

Dependencies to check:

1.2.1 Auto-install graphify if missing

If the graphify probe in the table above returns no file, attempt to install graphify silently before generating the dependency report. Execute this fallback chain in order, stopping at the first successful re-probe.

Step 1 — pipx (preferred, isolated):

command -v pipx >/dev/null 2>&1 && pipx install graphifyy && graphify install

Re-probe: Glob: ~/.claude/skills/graphify/SKILL.md. If the file now exists, stop — graphify is installed.

Step 2 — pip (if pipx unavailable or Step 1 failed):

Only if Step 1's re-probe still finds nothing, and Python 3.10+ is available:

{ command -v pip3 >/dev/null 2>&1 || command -v pip >/dev/null 2>&1; } && \
  python3 -c 'import sys; sys.exit(0 if sys.version_info >= (3, 10) else 1)' 2>/dev/null && \
  { pip3 install graphifyy 2>/dev/null || pip install graphifyy; } && graphify install

Re-probe. If found, stop.

Step 3 — curl (Python 3.10+ not available):

If Steps 1 and 2 were both unrunnable because pipx, pip, and Python 3.10+ are all missing, warn the user explicitly before falling back:

⚠️ Python 3.10+ is not available on this system. Falling back to manual skill install via curl. To receive graphify updates through the official installer, install Python 3.10+ and re-run /bedrock:setup.

Then:

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/graphify && \
  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/safishamsi/graphify/v1/skills/graphify/skill.md \
    > ~/.claude/skills/graphify/SKILL.md

Re-probe. If found, stop.

Step 4 — Manual instructions (last resort):

If all prior steps failed (no network, upstream unavailable, or all tooling missing), print the graphify warning shown in Section 1.2.2 below. Do not abort — setup continues regardless.

Note on package name: The PyPI package is currently published as graphifyy — temporary while the upstream project reclaims the graphify name. When that flip happens, update Steps 1 and 2 to pip install graphify && graphify install.

After the chain completes, run one final Glob: ~/.claude/skills/graphify/SKILL.md. The graphify row in the dependency-report table (Section 1.2.2 below) MUST reflect this post-install status — installed if the file now exists, NOT FOUND otherwise. Proceed to Section 1.2.2 regardless of outcome. Never block initialization.

1.2.1.1 Auto-install docling if missing

If the docling probe (command -v docling) returns nothing, attempt a silent install using the same fallback chain as graphify. Emit a one-line status message before starting — no interactive prompt.

docling not found — installing silently (one-time setup; first run may take several minutes to download ML models).

Step 1 — pipx (preferred, isolated):

command -v pipx >/dev/null 2>&1 && pipx install docling

Re-probe: command -v docling. If found, stop.

Step 2 — pip (if pipx unavailable or Step 1 failed):

{ command -v pip3 >/dev/null 2>&1 || command -v pip >/dev/null 2>&1; } && \
  { pip3 install --user docling 2>/dev/null || pip install --user docling; }

Re-probe. If found, stop.

Step 3 — Manual instructions (last resort):

If both steps failed (no pipx/pip, no network, or a permissions error), print the docling warning shown in Section 1.2.2 below. Do not abort — setup continues regardless.

After the chain completes, run one final command -v docling probe. The docling row in the dependency-report table (Section 1.2.2 below) MUST reflect this post-install status — installed if the command is now on PATH, NOT FOUND otherwise. Proceed to Section 1.2.2 regardless of outcome. Never block initialization.

1.2.2 Report status

Report format:

## Dependency Check

| Dependency | Status | What it unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| graphify | installed / NOT FOUND | Extraction engine for /learn |
| docling | installed / NOT FOUND | Universal file → markdown converter for /learn |
| Confluence API credentials | configured / NOT SET | Confluence page ingestion (API) |
| Google API token | configured / NOT SET | Google Docs/Sheets ingestion (API) |
| claude-in-chrome MCP | available / NOT FOUND | Browser fallback for Confluence |

### Source availability summary
| Source type | Status | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Confluence | ready / partial / unavailable | API credentials or Chrome extension |
| Google Docs | ready / limited / unavailable | API token or public documents only |
| Google Sheets | ready / limited / unavailable | API token (all tabs) or public (first tab only) |
| GitHub | ready | git CLI |
| Remote URL | ready | WebFetch or curl |
| Local files | ready | filesystem access |
| Non-markdown files (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, HTML, EPUB, images) | ready / unavailable | docling installed |

For graphify specifically (required):

> graphify is not installed. This is REQUIRED for /bedrock:learn to work.
> To install, check https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify for instructions.
>
> Your vault will initialize, but /bedrock:learn will not function until graphify is installed.

For docling specifically (required for non-markdown ingestion):

> docling is not installed. This is REQUIRED for /bedrock:learn to ingest non-markdown files
> (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, HTML, EPUB, images, etc.).
> To install manually: pipx install docling  (or: pip install --user docling)
> More info: https://github.com/docling-project/docling
>
> Your vault will initialize, but /bedrock:learn will only handle markdown/text inputs until
> docling is installed. /learn also attempts a silent auto-install on first invocation if the
> dependency is still missing.

For missing environment variables (optional):

> CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN and CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL are not set.
> To ingest Confluence pages, generate an API token at:
> https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
> Then set: CONFLUENCE_API_TOKEN=<token> and CONFLUENCE_USER_EMAIL=<your-email>
>
> Alternative: If you have the Claude in Chrome extension with Confluence logged in, browser extraction will work as a fallback.
> This is optional — your vault will work without Confluence ingestion.

> GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN is not set.
> To ingest Google Docs/Sheets, generate an access token at:
> https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/
> Select scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly
> Then set: GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN=<token>
>
> Public Google Docs/Sheets can still be ingested without a token (limited).
> This is optional — your vault will work without Google ingestion.

Proceed regardless of results. Never block initialization for missing dependencies.

Phase 2 — Vault Objective

2.1 Present Presets

Ask the user:

"What is the primary purpose of this vault?"

1. Engineering team — Track services, APIs, teams, and technical decisions
2. Product management — Track features, research, projects, and analytics
3. Company wiki — Centralized knowledge base across departments
4. Personal second brain — Personal knowledge management and learning
5. Open source project — Track contributors, issues, architecture, and community
6. Custom — Define your own domains and focus

2.3 Custom Preset

If the user selects Custom:

1. Ask: "What is the purpose of this vault? (1-2 sentences)"

   • Store as description

2. Ask: "List 3-6 domain tags for your vault (comma-separated). These will be used as domain/* tags."

   • Example: "backend, frontend, mobile, data, devops"
   • Store as domains

3. Ask: "Would you like me to generate example entities, or skip them?"

   • If generate: ask for a team name, 2 people names, an actor name (or use generic defaults: example-team, alice-example, bob-example, example-service, example-topic, example-project)
   • If skip: set SKIP_EXAMPLES = true

Build a custom preset object following the same structure as the named presets. For fields not provided by the user, use sensible generic defaults.

2.4 Git Strategy Selection

Ask the user:

"How should Bedrock handle git commits and pushes?"

1. commit-push (default) — Commit and push directly to main (trunk-based)
2. commit-push-pr — Commit to a branch, push, and open a pull request targeting main
3. commit-only — Commit locally without pushing (for offline or local-only vaults)

Press Enter for default (commit-push).

Store the selected strategy as GIT_STRATEGY.

If the user selects commit-push-pr:

Check if the gh CLI is available:

which gh 2>/dev/null

If gh is not found, warn:

> ⚠️ The `gh` CLI is not installed. The `commit-push-pr` strategy requires it to create pull requests.
> Install it from https://cli.github.com/ before using /bedrock:preserve, /bedrock:compress, or /bedrock:sync.
>
> You can still select this strategy — skills will fall back to `commit-push` if `gh` is not available at runtime.

Proceed regardless — never block initialization for missing tools.

Phase 3 — Scaffold

3.1 Create Entity Directories

Skip if RECONFIGURE_MODE = true.

Create all 7 entity directories:

mkdir -p actors people teams topics discussions projects fleeting

If any directory already exists, this is a no-op (safe).

3.2 Copy Templates

Skip if RECONFIGURE_MODE = true.

For each entity type, read the template from the plugin and write it to the vault:

For each template:

1. Use Read to read the source file from the plugin directory
2. Use Write to write it to the vault directory

Copy templates verbatim. Do not translate or modify them.

If a _template.md already exists in the destination, overwrite it — templates should always match the latest plugin version.

Fallback: If a template file cannot be read (path resolution fails), report: "Could not copy template for <type>. You can manually copy it from the plugin's templates/<type>/_template.md directory."

3.3 Create .bedrock/config.json

Create the .bedrock/ directory and write the configuration:

mkdir -p .bedrock

Write .bedrock/config.json with this schema:

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "language": "<VAULT_LANGUAGE>",
  "preset": "<selected preset name>",
  "domains": ["<domain1>", "<domain2>", "..."],
  "git": {
    "strategy": "<GIT_STRATEGY>"
  },
  "initialized_at": "<today's date YYYY-MM-DD>",
  "initialized_by": "init@agent"
}

Field definitions:

• version: Always "1.0.0" — schema version for future migrations
• language: The language code from Phase 1 (e.g., "en-US", "pt-BR")
• preset: The selected preset name (e.g., "engineering", "personal", "custom")
• domains: Array of domain strings resolved from the preset
• git.strategy: The git strategy from Phase 2.3. Valid values: "commit-push", "commit-push-pr", "commit-only". If omitted, defaults to "commit-push".
• initialized_at: Today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format
• initialized_by: Always "init@agent"

3.4 Generate Vault CLAUDE.md

Write a CLAUDE.md file at the vault root with content tailored to the selected preset and language.

IMPORTANT: This file describes THIS SPECIFIC VAULT — its purpose, language, and conventions. It does NOT duplicate the plugin's CLAUDE.md (which covers writing rules, entity types, tags, git workflow, and zettelkasten principles — all auto-loaded by Claude Code when the plugin is active).

Template for vault CLAUDE.md:

# <Vault Name> — CLAUDE.md

> This vault is powered by the [Bedrock plugin](https://github.com/iurykrieger/claude-bedrock).
> Plugin-level instructions (entity types, writing rules, tags, git workflow) are loaded automatically.
> This file describes what is specific to THIS vault.

## Purpose

<vault description from preset>

## Language

All content in this vault is written in **<language name> (<locale code>)**.
When creating or updating entities, use <language name> for all text content.
Frontmatter keys remain in English. Technical terms in English are acceptable.

## Domains

This vault uses the following domain tags:

<list of domain/* tags>

When creating entities, use `domain/<name>` tags from this list.
New domains can be added as the vault grows.

## Quick Reference

| Action | Skill |
|---|---|
| Search and query the vault | `/bedrock:ask` |
| Ingest external sources (Confluence, Google Docs, GitHub repositories, remote URLs, and any docling-supported file format — DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, HTML, EPUB, images, and more) | `/bedrock:learn` |
| Create or update entities manually | `/bedrock:preserve` |
| Deduplicate and check vault health | `/bedrock:compress` |
| Re-sync entities with external sources | `/bedrock:sync` |

Adaptation rules:

• <Vault Name>: Derive from the preset label or use the folder name. For custom presets, use the user's stated purpose.
• <vault description>: Use the preset's description field.
• <language name>: Full language name (e.g., "English", "Portuguese", "Spanish").
• <locale code>: The VAULT_LANGUAGE value (e.g., en-US, pt-BR).
• <list of domain/* tags>: Format as a markdown list: - domain/backend, - domain/frontend, etc.

Write all CLAUDE.md content in the selected VAULT_LANGUAGE. If the language is pt-BR, write sections headers and descriptions in Portuguese. If en-US, write in English. Etc.

3.5 Create Obsidian Configuration

Skip if RECONFIGURE_MODE = true.

Create a .obsidian/ directory with default configuration files so the vault is ready to use in Obsidian immediately — with wikilinks, a color-coded graph view, and a minimal plugin setup.

Step 1: Create the .obsidian/ directory:

mkdir -p .obsidian

Step 2: For each config file below, check if it already exists. If it does, skip it and log "Skipped .obsidian/<file> — already exists". If it does not exist, create it with the content specified.

.obsidian/app.json

{
  "useMarkdownLinks": false,
  "newLinkFormat": "shortest",
  "strictLineBreaks": false,
  "showFrontmatter": true
}

• useMarkdownLinks: false — Obsidian uses wikilinks (matches Bedrock's [[name]] convention)
• newLinkFormat: "shortest" — generates bare [[name]] links without path prefix
• showFrontmatter: true — frontmatter is central to Bedrock entities; visible by default

.obsidian/appearance.json

{
  "baseFontSize": 16,
  "theme": "obsidian"
}

• theme: "obsidian" — Obsidian's built-in dark theme. Clean, high-contrast.

.obsidian/graph.json

{
  "collapse-filter": true,
  "search": "",
  "showTags": false,
  "showAttachments": false,
  "hideUnresolved": false,
  "showOrphans": true,
  "collapse-color-groups": false,
  "colorGroups": [

Color palette (7 entity types):

Key graph settings:

• collapse-color-groups: false — color groups panel starts expanded so users see the mapping
• showTags: false — tag nodes hidden to keep graph focused on entities
• showOrphans: true — orphan entities visible for vault health

["graph"]

• Only graph enabled — the minimum required for the color groups to work. All other core plugins are disabled for a clean experience.

Step 3: Track the results for the setup summary (Phase 4). For each file, record whether it was Created or Skipped (already exists).

3.6 Create Example Entities

Skip if RECONFIGURE_MODE = true or SKIP_EXAMPLES = true.

Using the resolved preset data from Phase 2, create connected example entities. Write all entity content in the selected VAULT_LANGUAGE.

The entities form a mini-graph where every wikilink has a matching backlink.

3.6.1 Determine Entity Set

For all presets except personal: Create 6 entities:

1. Team: teams/<team_name>.md
2. Person 1: people/<person1_slug>.md
3. Person 2: people/<person2_slug>.md
4. Actor: actors/<actor_slug>.md
5. Topic: topics/<topic_slug>.md
6. Project: projects/<project_slug>.md

For personal preset: Create 4 entities (no team):

1. Person: people/<person_slug>.md
2. Actor: actors/<actor_slug>.md
3. Topic: topics/<topic_slug>.md
4. Project: projects/<project_slug>.md

3.6.2 Create Team Entity

Skip for personal preset.

Read the team template from <base_dir>/../../templates/teams/_template.md as structural reference.

Write teams/<team_name>.md:

---
type: team
name: "<team_name>"
aliases: <team_aliases as YAML array>
scope: "<team_scope>"
purpose: "<team_purpose>"
members: ["[[<person1_slug>]]", "[[<person2_slug>]]"]
actors: ["[[<actor_slug>]]"]
jira_board: ""
confluence_space: ""
sources: []
updated_at: <today YYYY-MM-DD>
updated_by: "init@agent"
tags: [type/team, domain/<first_domain>]
---

# <team display name>

> <team_scope>. <team_purpose>.

## Members

| Person | Role |
|---|---|
| [[<person1_slug>]] | <person1_role> |
| [[<person2_slug>]] | <person2_role> |

## Actors under Ownership

| Actor | Category | Status |
|---|---|---|
| [[<actor_slug>]] | <actor_category> | <actor_status> |

## Responsibilities

- <responsibility derived from team_scope>
- <responsibility derived from team_purpose>

3.6.3 Create Person Entities

Read the person template from <base_dir>/../../templates/people/_template.md as structural reference.

For each person in the preset's people array, write people/<person_slug>.md:

---
type: person
name: "<person_name>"
aliases: <person_aliases as YAML array>
role: "<person_role>"
team: "[[<team_name>]]"
focal_points: <person_focal_points as wikilink array, e.g. ["[[billing-api]]"]>
email: "<person_email>"
github: ""
slack: ""
jira: ""
sources: []
updated_at: <today YYYY-MM-DD>
updated_by: "init@agent"
tags: [type/person, domain/<first_domain>]
---

# <person_name>

> <person_role> on [[<team_name>]]. <brief context about their focus>.

## Team

Member of [[<team_name>]].

## Focal Points

<for each focal_point:>
- [[<focal_point>]] — <brief involvement context>

## Active Topics

- [[<topic_slug>]] — <brief description>

## Projects

- [[<project_slug>]] — <brief description>

For personal preset: Omit the team field (set to ""), omit the Team section, and write only 1 person entity.

3.6.4 Create Actor Entity

Read the actor template from <base_dir>/../../templates/actors/_template.md as structural reference.

Write actors/<actor_slug>.md:

---
type: actor
name: "<actor_name>"

updated_by: "init@agent"
tags: [type/actor, status/<actor_status>, domain/<first_domain>]
---

# <actor display name>

For personal preset: Set team to "" and omit the Team row from the Details table.

3.6.5 Create Topic Entity

Read the topic template from <base_dir>/../../templates/topics/_template.md as structural reference.

Write topics/<topic_slug>.md:

---
type: topic
title: "<topic_title>"
aliases: <topic_aliases as YAML array>
category: "<topic_category>"
status: "open"
people: ["[[<person1_slug>]]"]
actors: ["[[<actor_slug>]]"]
objective: "<topic_objective>"
created_at: <today YYYY-MM-DD>
sources: []
updated_at: <today YYYY-MM-DD>
updated_by: "init@agent"
tags: [type/topic, status/open, category/<topic_category>, domain/<first_domain>]

3.6.7 Verify Bidirectional Links

After creating all entities, verify the wikilink graph is fully bidirectional.

Expected links (non-personal presets):

Team → Person 1: members[] ✓ | Person 1 → Team: team field ✓
Team → Person 2: members[] ✓ | Person 2 → Team: team field ✓
Team → Actor: actors[] ✓ | Actor → Team: team field ✓
Topic → Person 1: people[] ✓ | Person 1 → Topic: "Active Topics" ✓
Topic → Actor: actors[] ✓ | Actor → Topic: "Related Topics" ✓
Project → Person 1: focal_points[] ✓ | Person 1 → Project: "Projects" ✓
Project → Actor: related_actors[] ✓ | Actor → Project: "Related Projects" ✓
Project → Team: related_teams[] ✓
Project → Topic: related_topics[] ✓ | Topic → Project: "Related Projects" ✓

Use Grep to spot-check that each entity file contains the expected wikilinks to its connected entities. If any link is missing, fix it before proceeding.

3.7 Register Vault in Global Registry

This phase runs in ALL modes — fresh setup, reconfigure, and register-only.

Register this vault in the plugin's global vault registry so it can be targeted by name from any directory using --vault <name>.

Step 1: Resolve the registry path:

REGISTRY_PATH = <base_dir>/../../vaults.json

Step 2: Read the existing registry (if it exists):

cat <REGISTRY_PATH> 2>/dev/null

If the file does not exist or is empty, initialize an empty registry:

{
  "vaults": []
}

Step 3: Check if this vault is already registered (match by absolute path of CWD):

• If already registered: display "This vault is already registered as <name>." and skip to Phase 4.
• If not registered: continue to Step 4.

Step 4: Prompt the user for a vault name:

"Choose a name for this vault. This name is used with --vault <name> to target this vault from any directory." Default: <basename of CWD>

Validate the name:

• Must be kebab-case: lowercase, no spaces, only letters, numbers, and hyphens
• Must be unique across all registered vaults
• If invalid or duplicate, ask the user to choose another name

Step 5: Determine default status:

• If the registry has no other vaults (empty vaults array), mark this vault as default ("default": true)
• If other vaults exist, ask t
