+# Beads - AI-Native Issue Tracking
+
+Welcome to Beads! This repository uses **Beads** for issue tracking - a modern, AI-native tool designed to live directly in your codebase alongside your code.
+
+## What is Beads?
+
+Beads is issue tracking that lives in your repo, making it perfect for AI coding agents and developers who want their issues close to their code. No web UI required - everything works through the CLI and integrates seamlessly with git.
+
+**Learn more:** [github.com/steveyegge/beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Essential Commands
+
+```bash
+# Create new issues
+bd create "Add user authentication"
+
+# View all issues
+bd list
+
+# View issue details
+bd show <issue-id>
+
+# Update issue status
+bd update <issue-id> --claim
+bd update <issue-id> --status done
+
+# Sync with Dolt remote
+bd dolt push
+```
+
+### Working with Issues
+
+Issues in Beads are:
+- **Git-native**: Stored in Dolt database with version control and branching
+- **AI-friendly**: CLI-first design works perfectly with AI coding agents
+- **Branch-aware**: Issues can follow your branch workflow
+- **Always in sync**: Auto-syncs with your commits
+
+## Why Beads?
+
+✨ **AI-Native Design**
+- Built specifically for AI-assisted development workflows
+- CLI-first interface works seamlessly with AI coding agents
+- No context switching to web UIs
+
+🚀 **Developer Focused**
+- Issues live in your repo, right next to your code
+- Works offline, syncs when you push
+- Fast, lightweight, and stays out of your way
+
+🔧 **Git Integration**
+- Automatic sync with git commits
+- Branch-aware issue tracking
+- Dolt-native three-way merge resolution
+
+## Get Started with Beads
+
+Try Beads in your own projects:
+
+```bash
+# Install Beads
+curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steveyegge/beads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+
+# Initialize in your repo
+bd init
+
+# Create your first issue
+bd create "Try out Beads"
+```

+# Beads Configuration File
+# This file configures default behavior for all bd commands in this repository
+# All settings can also be set via environment variables (BD_* prefix)
+# or overridden with command-line flags
+
+# Issue prefix for this repository (used by bd init)
+# If not set, bd init will auto-detect from directory name
+# Example: issue-prefix: "myproject" creates issues like "myproject-1", "myproject-2", etc.
+# issue-prefix: ""
+
+# Use no-db mode: JSONL-only, no Dolt database
+# When true, bd will use .beads/issues.jsonl as the source of truth
+# no-db: false
+
+# Enable JSON output by default
+# json: false
+
+# Feedback title formatting for mutating commands (create/update/close/dep/edit)
+# 0 = hide titles, N > 0 = truncate to N characters
+# output:
+#   title-length: 255
+
+# Default actor for audit trails (overridden by BEADS_ACTOR or --actor)
+# actor: ""
+
+# Export events (audit trail) to .beads/events.jsonl on each flush/sync
+# When enabled, new events are appended incrementally using a high-water mark.
+# Use 'bd export --events' to trigger manually regardless of this setting.
+# events-export: false
+
+# Multi-repo configuration (experimental - bd-307)
+# Allows hydrating from multiple repositories and routing writes to the correct database
+# repos:
+#   primary: "."  # Primary repo (where this database lives)
+#   additional:   # Additional repos to hydrate from (read-only)
+#     - ~/beads-planning  # Personal planning repo
+#     - ~/work-planning   # Work planning repo
+
+# JSONL backup (periodic export for off-machine recovery)
+# Auto-enabled when a git remote exists. Override explicitly:
+# backup:
+#   enabled: false     # Disable auto-backup entirely
+#   interval: 15m      # Minimum time between auto-exports
+#   git-push: false    # Disable git push (export locally only)
+#   git-repo: ""       # Separate git repo for backups (default: project repo)
+
+# Integration settings (access with 'bd config get/set')
+# These are stored in the database, not in this file:
+# - jira.url
+# - jira.project
+# - linear.url
+# - linear.api-key
+# - github.org

+# Agent Instructions
+
+This project uses **bd** (beads) for issue tracking. Run `bd prime` for full workflow context.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+bd ready              # Find available work
+bd show <id>          # View issue details
+bd update <id> --claim  # Claim work atomically
+bd close <id>         # Complete work
+bd dolt push          # Push beads data to remote
+```
+
+## Non-Interactive Shell Commands
+
+**ALWAYS use non-interactive flags** with file operations to avoid hanging on confirmation prompts.
+
+Shell commands like `cp`, `mv`, and `rm` may be aliased to include `-i` (interactive) mode on some systems, causing the agent to hang indefinitely waiting for y/n input.
+
+**Use these forms instead:**
+```bash
+# Force overwrite without prompting
+cp -f source dest           # NOT: cp source dest
+mv -f source dest           # NOT: mv source dest
+rm -f file                  # NOT: rm file
+
+# For recursive operations
+rm -rf directory            # NOT: rm -r directory
+cp -rf source dest          # NOT: cp -r source dest
+```
+
+**Other commands that may prompt:**
+- `scp` - use `-o BatchMode=yes` for non-interactive
+- `ssh` - use `-o BatchMode=yes` to fail instead of prompting
+- `apt-get` - use `-y` flag
+- `brew` - use `HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1` env var

+bd ready              # Find available work
+bd show <id>          # View issue details
+bd update <id> --claim  # Claim work
+bd close <id>         # Complete work
+```
+
+### Rules
+
+- Use `bd` for ALL task tracking — do NOT use TodoWrite, TaskCreate, or markdown TODO lists
+- Run `bd prime` for detailed command reference and session close protocol
+- Use `bd remember` for persistent knowledge — do NOT use MEMORY.md files
+
+## Session Completion
+
+**When ending a work session**, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds.
+
+**MANDATORY WORKFLOW:**
+
+1. **File issues for remaining work** - Create issues for anything that needs follow-up
+2. **Run quality gates** (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
+3. **Update issue status** - Close finished work, update in-progress items
+4. **PUSH TO REMOTE** - This is MANDATORY:
+   ```bash
+   git pull --rebase
+   bd dolt push
+   git push
+   git status  # MUST show "up to date with origin"
+   ```
+5. **Clean up** - Clear stashes, prune remote branches
+6. **Verify** - All changes committed AND pushed
+7. **Hand off** - Provide context for next session
+
+**CRITICAL RULES:**
+- Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds
+- NEVER stop before pushing - that leaves work stranded locally
+- NEVER say "ready to push when you are" - YOU must push
+- If push fails, resolve and retry until it succeeds
