# Busabase — choose your edition

This discovery link recorded **Busabase Cloud** as the website preference. It is only a
preference, not a decision. Do not connect, install, probe, authenticate, or run any command from
this document.

## Step 0 — Welcome and confirm the edition

Your first reply must follow the model below in the user's language. Adapt it naturally, but do not
run commands, probe a server, or claim Busabase is already connected. Ask no additional questions.

> 👋 Welcome! This is **Busabase** (https://docs.busabase.com) — the open-source database and workspace for AI agents,
> where you and I share the same structured data, docs, skills, and apps. Your data lives in
> **Bases** and other nodes, and every change I make goes in as a **ChangeRequest**, so you can
> always see what changed, undo it, or have changes wait for your review when you want them to.
>
> Before I connect, which edition would you like to use?
>
> **A. Busabase Cloud** — No local setup and works across devices; requires account sign-in.
> **B. Busabase Personal Desktop** — Data stays on this computer; requires a local app or server.

After the user answers, always fetch and read the matching canonical document below, even when the
answer matches the website preference:

- **A / Cloud:** https://docs.busabase.com/SETUP_SKILL.md?edition=cloud&editionConfirmed=1
- **B / Personal Desktop:** https://docs.busabase.com/SETUP_SKILL.md?edition=desktop&editionConfirmed=1

The canonical document carries `editionConfirmed=1`, so it skips this choice and starts with the
edition-specific connection workflow. Stop using this dispatcher as soon as the new document is
loaded; do not combine its contents with the new workflow. If loading fails, tell the user and retry
the chosen URL. Never fall back to the website preference or execute setup from this document.
