## What it does

This skill turns an existing directory into a Bedrock-managed Obsidian vault. First, it looks for `.bedrock/config.json` to verify the current state. If the folder already has a vault, the agent asks to reconfigure parameters or link the path inside `vaults.json`. Otherwise, a clean installation starts.

The user picks the vault language, which defaults to `en-US`. After that, the agent runs a dependency scan for `graphify`, `docling`, and cloud access tokens. It installs `graphify` automatically using `pipx`, `pip`, or `curl` when missing. The flow does not halt if an external utility is absent.

Missing `docling` limits future document imports to plain text formats. The setup finishes by creating entity folders, copying markdown templates, and generating sample notes with bidirectional wikilinks.

## Requirements
- Works with: Obsidian

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill setup -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/setup/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/setup/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill setup -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/setup/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill setup -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/setup/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install iurykrieger/claude-bedrock setup
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/setup/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill setup -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --path skills/setup
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/setup/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add iurykrieger/claude-bedrock --skill setup -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/iurykrieger/claude-bedrock/tree/HEAD/skills/setup/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- initialize an Obsidian vault with Bedrock structure
- configure vault language and domain taxonomy
- verify docling and graphify dependencies
- register the active folder in the global vault registry

## Example prompts
- /bedrock:setup
- Initialize this directory as a Bedrock-powered Obsidian vault
- Run vault bootstrap and verify graphify dependencies

  Initialize any folder as a Bedrock-powered Obsidian vault. Creates entity directories,

  entities, and checks dependencies.
  Use when: "bedrock setup", "bedrock-setup", "/bedrock:setup", "initialize vault",
  "setup vault", "create vault", "bootstrap vault", or when a user wants to start
  a new Second Brain with Bedrock.

# /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:

```bash
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:
   ```bash
   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.
