Existing Work

Inventory of what has already been built toward cyberbaser. Preserves institutional memory, prevents re-research, and makes clear what’s salvageable vs. what should be left alone.

In this repo

Phase-0 publishing prototype — docs/ (current)

• Astro v6 + Starlight v0.38 + Nova theme
• Full sibling plugin loadout (site-graph, blog, announcement, image-zoom, heading-badges, tags)
• remark-obsidian-callout, remark-wiki-link, rehype-mermaid wired
• astro-loader-obsidian as a content loader dependency (not yet evaluated for Tier 1 sufficiency)
• Playwright E2E test scaffolding
• Cloudflare Pages deploy workflow (currently orphaned — project was deleted)

Status: Active. Hosts the first-principles content. Builds and serves on localhost + Tailscale.

Archived PARA dev docs — .workspace/_archive-phase-0-docs/

Pre-reinit PARA-structured implementation notes. Covers:

• areas/cyberbase-architecture.md
• areas/cyberbase-build-scaling.md
• areas/cyberbase-deployment-architecture.md
• areas/cyberbase-translation-layer.md
• projects/cyberbase-phase-0-foundation.md
• projects/cyberbase-testing-workflow.md
• resources/research-astro-obsidian-integration.md
• resources/vendor-cloudflare-pages-setup.md

Status: archived, gitignored (so they won’t appear in a fresh clone). Useful as a reference mine for specific pages — cyberbase-translation-layer.md and cyberbase-architecture.md are the most likely to have salvageable content. Delete when exhausted.

.claude/ meta layer (this folder’s source of truth)

Reinitialized 2026-04-11 to match crosswalker/cyberchaste convention:

• PROJECT_CONTEXT.md, FOCUS.md, KNOWLEDGE_BASE_PHILOSOPHY.md, DOCUMENTATION_STYLE.md, RESEARCH_SOURCES.md
• Numbered first-principles files (00-INDEX.md through 41-QUESTIONS-RESOLVED.md) as skeletons

Status: active. These are the agent-context scratch files; the polished public view lives in docs/src/content/docs/. Both evolve in parallel.

In sibling repos (Cybersader’s other work)

cybersader/cyberbase — the live content vault

• The Obsidian vault that cyberbaser will eventually publish
• Already has Notion + Obsidian + GitHub sync via cybersader/notion-to-obsidian-github-sync
• Public repo

Status: production content, untouched by cyberbaser work. Cyberbaser will eventually read from this as its input.

cybersader/notion-to-obsidian-github-sync

• Previous attempt: back up Notion → clean up → commit to repo for Obsidian consumption
• Functional; the upstream of the current vault content

Relevant lesson: see Prior Art · Notion as a public wiki. This is evidence for the “no vendor lock-in” principle.

cybersader/cybersader-notion-workspace-public

• Even earlier attempt: public-read Notion workspace
• Superseded by the vault approach

cybersader/cybersader-obsidian-wiki-template + obsidian-vault-template-template + obsidian-secops-vault-template

• Earlier vault scaffolding experiments
• Unclear if still relevant — needs an audit pass

cybersader/awesome-* repos (awesome-bhis, awesome-siem, awesome-cyber-deception, awesome-log-management, awesome-obsidian-and-cyber, awesome-sigma)

• Prior-art data points: the minimum-viable-contribution baseline
• See Prior Art · awesome-list repos

cybersader/crosswalker and cybersader/cyberchaste

• Sibling projects with mature .claude/ conventions
• Source of the docs template cyberbaser uses
• Reference points for patterns worth borrowing

External artifacts

Local Obsidian research vault

• Location: Local Obsidian vault, local research vault
• Status: unknown contents as of 2026-04-11. See Q01 in Open Questions.
• Action: audit early in Phase R. Likely contains prior thinking that should be ported into the numbered files.

MCP / agent workflow project

• Location: Local sibling workspace (cybersader/agentic-workflow-and-tech-stack)
• Cross-project notes on agentic workflows and KB patterns
• Action: reference for .claude/ organization decisions.

Implication for the roadmap

Because the Phase-0 publishing pipeline exists and works, cyberbaser is not blocked on “can we build the site at all.” The blocker is upstream: we don’t yet have the first-principles clarity to know what the site should be. That’s why the Roadmap places Research & Foundations as the only active phase.
