peter schilling 8052f3d6a5 Update slash commands to use beads: prefix (#467)
Marketplace-installed plugins use the beads: prefix instead of the
old bd- prefix. Updated all documentation and examples to reflect the
current slash command naming.

Fixes #463

Initialize beads in the current project
prefix

Initialize beads issue tracking in the current directory.

If a prefix is provided as $1, use it as the issue prefix (e.g., "myproject" creates issues like myproject-1, myproject-2). If not provided, the default is the current directory name.

Use the beads MCP init tool with the prefix parameter (if provided) to set up a new beads database.

After initialization:

  1. Show the database location
  2. Show the issue prefix that will be used
  3. Explain the basic workflow (or suggest running /beads:workflow)
  4. Suggest creating the first issue with /beads:create

If beads is already initialized, inform the user and show project stats using the stats tool.
