Agent Instructions

Authoritative workflow is CLAUDE.md (noted 2026-07-03). This file is a generic beads onboarding stub. vox requires all changes to land via pull request; direct pushes to main are prohibited (branch protection). Below, "push" means push your feature branch and open a PR — never push to main.

This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking. Run bd onboard to get started.

Quick Reference

bd ready              # Find available work
bd show <id>          # View issue details
bd update <id> --status in_progress  # Claim work
bd close <id>         # Complete work
bd sync               # Sync with git

Landing the Plane (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:

   git pull --rebase
   bd sync
   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
