- Quick start and setup
- How git worktrees work
- Daily workflow for agents and humans
- Merging strategies (PR and direct)
- Troubleshooting common issues
- Platform-specific notes (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket)
- Advanced topics (CI/CD, multi-clone sync, etc.)
2. **AGENTS.md** - Added "Protected Branch Workflow" section:
- Quick reference for agents
- No changes needed to agent workflows
- Commands for setup and merging
- Link to detailed docs
3. **README.md** - Updated with:
- Protected branch support feature flag
- Quick start instructions with --branch flag
- Link to comprehensive guide
4. **examples/protected-branch/** - Working example with:
- Step-by-step demo

All commands verified:
- bd init --branch <name>

Documentation is platform-agnostic and works with GitHub, GitLab,
Bitbucket, or any git platform with branch protection.
