+# Setup Guide for sflabs Projects
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Clone the KDB
+
+```bash
+cd /home/tr/.qwen/projects/
+git clone https://teashop.invaliddevice.com/sflabs/kdb.git memory
+```
+
+### 2. Install Obsidian (optional but recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Download from https://obsidian.md
+# Or use the AppImage:
+cd /tmp
+wget https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/releases/download/v1.7.6/Obsidian-1.7.6.AppImage
+chmod +x Obsidian-1.7.6.AppImage
+mv Obsidian-1.7.6.AppImage ~/.local/bin/obsidian.AppImage
+```
+
+### 3. Open the KDB
+
+```bash
+obsidian /home/tr/.qwen/projects/-home-tr-work-kdb/memory
+```
+
+Or use the helper script:
+
+```bash
+sflabs-kdb open
+```
+
+## Git Credentials
+
+### Option 1: HTTPS with Personal Access Token
+
+1. Generate PAT on Gitea: `teashop.invaliddevice.com/user/settings/applications`
+2. Configure git:
+
+```bash
+git config --global credential.helper store
+# Then run any git command and enter credentials when prompted
+```
+
+### Option 2: SSH Keys
+
+```bash
+# Generate SSH key if you don't have one
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your-email@example.com"
+
+# Add to Gitea: teashop.invaliddevice.com/user/settings/keys
+# Clone with SSH:
+git clone git@teashop.invaliddevice.com:sflabs/kdb.git memory
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Before Starting Work
+
+```bash
+sflabs-kdb pull
+```
+
+### After Completing Work
+
+```bash
+# Review changes
+sflabs-kdb status
+
+# Commit and push
+git add .
+git commit -m "Describe your changes"
+sflabs-kdb push
+```
+
+### Full Sync
+
+```bash
+sflabs-kdb sync
+```
+
+## Multi-Project Access
+
+### For Other sflabs Projects
+
+Add this to your project's `.qwen/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "sflabs-kdb": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": [
+        "-y",
+        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
+        "/home/tr/.qwen/projects/-home-tr-work-kdb/memory"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Using the Skill
+
+In Qwen Code:
+
+```
+/skill sflabs-kdb pull
+/skill sflabs-kdb push
+/skill sflabs-kdb sync
+```
+
+## Conflict Resolution
+
+If you get merge conflicts:
+
+```bash
+# Pull and check for conflicts
+git pull
+
+# Resolve conflicts in Obsidian or your editor
+# Then commit
+git add .
+git commit -m "Resolve merge conflicts"
+git push
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Sync often** - Pull before starting, push after finishing
+2. **Small commits** - One logical change per commit
+3. **Descriptive messages** - Explain what and why
+4. **Check status** - Always review before pushing
+5. **Use templates** - Maintain consistent structure
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Permission denied" on push
+
+- Check your Gitea credentials
+- Verify SSH key is added (if using SSH)
+- Ensure you have write access to the repo
+
+### "Repository not found"
+
+- Verify URL: `https://teashop.invaliddevice.com/sflabs/kdb`
+- Check repo exists on Gitea
+- Ensure network connectivity
+
+### Obsidian won't open
+
+```bash
+# Check if AppImage is executable
+ls -la ~/.local/bin/obsidian.AppImage
+
+# Try running directly
+~/.local/bin/obsidian.AppImage /home/tr/.qwen/projects/-home-tr-work-kdb/memory
+```
