Secondbrain Project Scaffolding

Scaffold a complete knowledge management system with microdatabases, VitePress portal, and Claude automation.

Overview

Initialize a new secondbrain project with:

• Microdatabase architecture (YAML + JSON Schema validation)
• VitePress documentation portal (custom theme, Vue components)
• Configurable entity types (ADRs, Discussions, Notes, Tasks, Custom)
• Claude automation (hooks, maximum freedom settings)

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Project Information

Ask the user for:

1. Project name (kebab-case, e.g., my-knowledge-base)
2. Target directory (default: ./<project-name>)
3. Use case (optional context for customization):

- Personal knowledge base - Project documentation - Team collaboration

Step 2: Select Entity Types

Present entity selection with checkboxes:

## Entity Selection

Which entities would you like to enable?

[x] ADRs (Architecture Decision Records)
    - Numbered decisions with status workflow
    - Category-based numbering ranges

[x] Discussions (Meeting notes, conversations)
    - Monthly partitioned records
    - Participant tracking

[x] Notes (General knowledge capture)
    - Date-based IDs
    - Tag support

[ ] Tasks (Action items, todo tracking)
    - Sequential numbering
    - Priority and due dates

Would you like to define a custom entity type? (y/n)

Step 3: Configure Optional Features

Present optional feature selection:

## Optional Features

[ ] Review Stamps
    - Track who reviewed which pages and when
    - ReviewBadge component with staleness coloring (green/yellow/orange)
    - Adds /secondbrain-review command

[ ] Meeting Transcription
    - Import meetings from transcription providers (Fireflies.ai)
    - Auto-generate discussion documents from transcripts
    - SessionStart hook checks for undocumented meetings
    - Adds /secondbrain-transcribe command
    - Requires provider API key (e.g., FIREFLIES_API_KEY)

If Review Stamps selected:

• Ask for default reviewer name (can be left blank for per-review prompting)
• Add review section to config.yaml
• Scaffold ReviewBadge.vue component from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/scaffolding/vitepress/theme/components/ReviewBadge.vue.tmpl
• Replace {{fresh_days}} with 30 and {{aging_days}} with 90 (or custom values)

If Meeting Transcription selected:

• Ask which provider: fireflies (more providers coming)
• Ask for team member mappings (alias, full name, email patterns)
• Add team and integrations.transcription sections to config.yaml
• Scaffold provider client (e.g., fireflies.py) from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/scaffolding/lib/fireflies.py.tmpl
• Remind user to set API key in .env.local or environment

Step 4: Configure Semantic Search

Present search configuration options:

## Search Configuration

Which semantic search would you like to enable?

[ ] qmd (Claude Code search)
    - CLI-based semantic search for AI
    - Requires: bun/npm install -g qmd (~1.5GB models)
    - Best for: Local development, Claude Code integration

[ ] Orama (VitePress browser search)
    - Client-side semantic search for humans
    - Adds ~30MB to browser (on-demand model loading)
    - Best for: Static sites, offline-capable portals

[x] Both (Recommended)
    - Dual index: qmd for Claude, Orama for browser
    - Same semantic search quality for AI and humans

[ ] None (Skip search)
    - Use basic VitePress search (keyword only)
    - Can add semantic search later with /secondbrain-search-init

Based on selection:

Step 6: Configure Maximum Freedom Settings

CRITICAL: Always propose creating .claude/settings.local.json with maximum permissions:

{
  "$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/claude-code-settings.json",
  "_comment": "Secondbrain project - maximum freedom for knowledge management",

  "permissions": {
    "allow_web_search": true,
    "allow_web_fetch": ["*"],
    "allow_read": ["~/**", "/tmp/**"],
    "allow_bash": ["*"],
    "auto_approve_write": ["<project_path>/docs/**"]
  }
}

Show the settings and ask for confirmation before proceeding.

Step 7: Generate Scaffolding

Create the following structure:

<project-name>/
├── .claude/
│   ├── settings.local.json     # Max freedom permissions + hooks
│   ├── data/
│   │   ├── config.yaml         # Project configuration

│   │   │   ├── schema.yaml
│   │   │   ├── meta.yaml       # last_number + shard list
│   │   │   └── YYYY-MM.yaml    # Monthly shard
│   │   ├── discussions/        # (if enabled)
│   │   │   ├── schema.yaml
│   │   │   └── YYYY-MM.yaml    # Monthly shard
│   │   ├── notes/              # (if enabled)
│   │   │   ├── schema.yaml

│   │   ├── session-context.py
│   │   └── search-index-update.py  # (if qmd enabled)
│   └── search/                     # (if qmd enabled)
│       └── (qmd index files)
├── docs/
│   ├── .vitepress/

│   │   │       ├── ReviewBadge.vue  # (if review stamps enabled)
│   │   │       └── SearchBox.vue   # (if Orama enabled)
│   │   └── data/
│   │       └── <entity>.data.ts # Per enabled entity
│   ├── index.md                # Home page
│   ├── adrs/                   # (if enabled)
│   │   ├── index.md
│   │   └── TEMPLATE.md
│   ├── discussions/            # (if enabled)

├── qmd.config.json             # (if qmd enabled)
├── CLAUDE.md                   # Project instructions
└── .gitignore

Step 8: Generate Files

For each enabled entity, generate from templates in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/:

1. Microdatabase files:

- config.yaml from scaffolding/microdatabase/config.yaml.tmpl - Entity schema.yaml from entities/<entity>/schema.yaml - Entity records.yaml initialized empty

1. VitePress files:

- config.ts from scaffolding/vitepress/config.ts.tmpl - Theme files from scaffolding/vitepress/theme/ - Data loaders from scaffolding/vitepress/data/

1. Documentation:

- Home page from scaffolding/docs/index.md.tmpl - Entity index pages from scaffolding/docs/entity-index.md.tmpl - Templates from entities/<entity>/TEMPLATE.md

1. Automation:

- settings.local.json from scaffolding/claude/settings.local.json.tmpl - tracking.py from scaffolding/lib/tracking.py.tmpl - Hooks from hooks/ (copy to project)

1. Search (if enabled):

- qmd: qmd.config.json from scaffolding/search/qmd.config.json.tmpl - qmd: Copy search-index-update.py hook - Orama: SearchBox.vue from scaffolding/vitepress/theme/components/SearchBox.vue.tmpl - Orama: build-search-index.ts from scaffolding/vitepress/search/build-search-index.ts.tmpl - Orama: Add dependencies to package.json

1. Review Stamps (if enabled):

- ReviewBadge.vue from scaffolding/vitepress/theme/components/ReviewBadge.vue.tmpl - Replace {{fresh_days}} / {{aging_days}} with configured thresholds (defaults: 30/90) - Add review section to config.yaml

1. Meeting Transcription (if enabled):

- Provider client (e.g., fireflies.py) from scaffolding/lib/fireflies.py.tmpl - Add team and integrations.transcription sections to config.yaml

Template Variables

When generating files, replace these variables:

Entity Configuration

Each entity has standard configuration:

<entity_slug>:
  enabled: true
  label: "Entity Label"
  singular: "Entity"
  doc_path: docs/<entity_slug>
  freshness:
    stale_after_days: 30
