NewBusinessVault — MBR KB Scaffold

Section titled “NewBusinessVault — MBR KB Scaffold”

What Was Done

Section titled “What Was Done”

Created a dual-vault KB architecture for managing two businesses under D:\FSS\KB\.

Architecture

Section titled “Architecture”
D:\FSS\KB\
├── Business\       ← SDC vault (unchanged — do NOT rename to SDC)
├── MBR\            ← new vault, git initialized, fully scaffolded
└── _shared\        ← SSoT: obsidian-config/, sync-vaults.sh, sync-structure.sh

Key Decisions

Section titled “Key Decisions”
  • Do NOT rename Business\ → SDC\ — would break Windows shortcuts, web_deploy config, Claude history. Business vault IS the home base for all-business knowledge (AI, processes, systems). MBR = MBR-specific content only.
  • ROADMAP.md belongs in 00_KB Home/ — it’s a vault ToC/navigation doc, not a strategy doc. Pairs with Folder_Structure.md for bird’s-eye view.
  • .obsidian SSoT via _shared/ — Obsidian requires .obsidian/ inside each vault. Solution: _shared/obsidian-config/ is SSoT, synced to all vaults via sync-vaults.sh. Vault-specific files (workspace.json, bookmarks.json, plugin data.json) are excluded from sync.
  • ~/.claude/ is already global SSoT for Claude skills, commands, and settings — no change needed.

What Was Built

Section titled “What Was Built”

D:\FSS\KB\_shared\:

  • obsidian-config/ — canonical Obsidian config (21 plugins, themes, snippets)
  • sync-vaults.sh — rsync config to all vaults (run after plugin/config changes)
  • sync-structure.sh — propagate top-level folder structure to all vaults
  • README.md — SSoT docs + adding-a-new-vault instructions
  • Structure-Core.md — canonical folder template (Talbot created)

D:\FSS\KB\MBR\ (initial scaffold):

  • Full folder structure per Structure-Core.md
  • .obsidian/ with all 21 plugins, themes, snippets from Business
  • 01_Identity/ — 10 boilerplate files (index, Mission, Vision, SWOT stubs)
  • 02_Strategy/ — 9 boilerplate files (index, ICP, USP, Brand Voice, etc.)
  • 00_KB Home/ROADMAP.md — skeleton
  • _WorkingOn/ — CLAUDE.md, Tasks, Projects, Research, Plans, Someday, Later
  • .gitignore, .claude/settings.local.json, git initialized

D:\FSS\KB\Business\:

  • 00_KB Home/ROADMAP.md — drafted SDC roadmap (Vision, Mission, positioning, what exists, phases)

Pending / Future

Section titled “Pending / Future”
  • Purge 04_AI/ from MBR (belongs in Business vault)
  • Fill in MBR Mission, Vision, ROADMAP
  • Extend web_deploy to publish MBR vault (separate task)
