Implements bd-hwmp and bd-5otr (part of epic bd-nxgk) to help AI agents automatically detect and adapt to bd upgrades. ## Changes ### Documentation (bd-hwmp) - Added "After Upgrading bd" section to AGENTS.md with step-by-step workflow - Enhanced "Pro Tips for Agents" with upgrade detection guidance - Documents bd info --whats-new and bd hooks install commands - References GitHub Discussion #239 ### Startup Hook (bd-5otr) - Created examples/startup-hooks/bd-version-check.sh - Auto-detects bd version changes via .beads/metadata.json - Shows bd info --whats-new when upgrade detected - Auto-updates outdated git hooks - Handles edge cases (no jq, not in beads project, etc.) - Created examples/startup-hooks/README.md with integration examples - Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor integration patterns - Comprehensive usage and troubleshooting guide - Updated examples/README.md with new startup-hooks section ## Impact Agents can now: - Automatically detect bd upgrades at session start - See what changed without re-reading all documentation - Keep git hooks in sync automatically - Adapt workflows based on new features Works today with zero bd code changes required!

Quick Start
# Try the Python agent example
cd python-agent
python agent.py
# Try the bash agent example
cd bash-agent
./agent.sh
# Install git hooks
cd git-hooks
./install.sh
# REMOVED (bd-4c74): branch-merge demo - hash IDs eliminate collision resolution
Creating Your Own Agent
The basic agent workflow:
- Find ready work:
bd ready --json --limit 1 - Claim the task:
bd update <id> --status in_progress --json - Do the work: Execute the task
- Discover new issues:
bd create "Found bug" --json - Link discoveries:
bd dep add <new-id> <parent-id> --type discovered-from - Complete the task:
bd close <id> --reason "Done" --json
All commands support --json for easy parsing.
