Steve Yegge ba1c9d6b17 feat: show redirect info in bd prime output (bd-kblo)
When beads is redirected (e.g., in Gas Town crew clones), bd prime now
shows a notice about the redirect. This helps agents understand why
they share issues with other clones.

CLI mode shows:
> ⚠️ **Redirected**: Local .beads → /path/to/target/.beads
> You share issues with other clones using this redirect.

MCP mode shows:
**Note**: Beads redirected to /path/to/target/.beads (shared with other clones)

- When in doubt, prefer bd—persistence you don't need beats lost context

## Core Rules
- Track strategic work in beads (multi-session, dependencies, discovered work)
- Use ` + "`bd create`" + ` for issues, TodoWrite for simple single-session execution
- When in doubt, prefer bd—persistence you don't need beats lost context
- Git workflow: hooks auto-sync, run ` + "`bd sync`" + ` at session end
- Session management: check ` + "`bd ready`" + ` for available work
## Essential Commands
### Finding Work
- ` + "`bd ready`" + ` - Show issues ready to work (no blockers)
- ` + "`bd list --status=open`" + ` - All open issues
- ` + "`bd list --status=in_progress`" + ` - Your active work
- ` + "`bd show <id>`" + ` - Detailed issue view with dependencies
### Creating & Updating
- ` + "`bd create --title=\"...\" --type=task|bug|feature --priority=2`" + ` - New issue
- Priority: 0-4 or P0-P4 (0=critical, 2=medium, 4=backlog). NOT "high"/"medium"/"low"
- ` + "`bd update <id> --status=in_progress`" + ` - Claim work
- ` + "`bd update <id> --assignee=username`" + ` - Assign to someone
- ` + "`bd close <id>`" + ` - Mark complete
- ` + "`bd close <id1> <id2> ...`" + ` - Close multiple issues at once (more efficient)
- ` + "`bd close <id> --reason=\"explanation\"`" + ` - Close with reason
- **Tip**: When creating multiple issues/tasks/epics, use parallel subagents for efficiency
### Dependencies & Blocking
- ` + "`bd dep add <issue> <depends-on>`" + ` - Add dependency (issue depends on depends-on)
- ` + "`bd blocked`" + ` - Show all blocked issues
- ` + "`bd show <id>`" + ` - See what's blocking/blocked by this issue
` + syncSection + `
### Project Health
- ` + "`bd stats`" + ` - Project statistics (open/closed/blocked counts)
- ` + "`bd doctor`" + ` - Check for issues (sync problems, missing hooks)
## Common Workflows
**Starting work:**
` + "```bash" + `
bd ready # Find available work
bd show <id> # Review issue details
bd update <id> --status=in_progress # Claim it
` + "```" + `
` + completingWorkflow + `
**Creating dependent work:**
` + "```bash" + `
# Run bd create commands in parallel (use subagents for many items)
bd create --title="Implement feature X" --type=feature
bd create --title="Write tests for X" --type=task
bd dep add beads-yyy beads-xxx # Tests depend on Feature (Feature blocks tests)
` + "```" + `
