Steve Yegge 584608a14e feat: add llms.txt standard support for AI agent discoverability (#784)
Cherry-picked website/, scripts/generate-llms-full.sh, and deploy-docs.yml
from joyshmitz's PR. Fixed workflow to trigger on main branch instead of
docs/docusaurus-site.

Features:
- Docusaurus documentation site with llms.txt support
- Environment-variable driven config (defaults to steveyegge org)
- Automated llms-full.txt generation from docs
- GitHub Pages deployment workflow

# Labels & Comments
Commands for managing labels and comments.
## Labels
### Adding Labels
```bash
# During creation
bd create "Task" -l "backend,urgent"
# To existing issue
bd update bd-42 --add-label urgent
bd update bd-42 --add-label "backend,security"
```
### Removing Labels
```bash
bd update bd-42 --remove-label urgent
```
### Listing Labels
```bash
# All labels in use
bd label list
bd label list --json
# Issues with specific labels
bd list --label-any urgent,critical
bd list --label-all backend,security
```
### Label Conventions
Suggested label categories:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|----------|----------|---------|
| Type | `bug`, `feature`, `docs` | Issue classification |
| Priority | `urgent`, `critical` | Urgency markers |
| Area | `backend`, `frontend`, `api` | Code area |
| Status | `blocked`, `needs-review` | Workflow state |
| Size | `small`, `medium`, `large` | Effort estimate |
## Comments
### Adding Comments
```bash
bd comment add bd-42 "Working on this now"
bd comment add bd-42 --message "Found the bug in auth.go:45"
```
### Listing Comments
```bash
bd comment list bd-42
bd comment list bd-42 --json
```
### Viewing with Issue
```bash
bd show bd-42 --full # Includes comments
```
## Filtering by Labels
### Any Match (OR)
```bash
# Issues with urgent OR critical
bd list --label-any urgent,critical
```
### All Match (AND)
```bash
# Issues with BOTH backend AND security
bd list --label-all backend,security
```
### Combined Filters
```bash
# Open bugs with urgent label
bd list --status open --type bug --label-any urgent --json
```
## Bulk Operations
### Add Label to Multiple Issues
```bash
# Using shell
for id in bd-42 bd-43 bd-44; do
bd update $id --add-label "sprint-1"
done
```
### Find and Label
```bash
# Label all open bugs as needs-triage
bd list --status open --type bug --json | \
jq -r '.[].id' | \
xargs -I {} bd update {} --add-label needs-triage
```
## Best Practices
1. **Keep labels lowercase** - `backend` not `Backend`
2. **Use hyphens for multi-word** - `needs-review` not `needs_review`
3. **Be consistent** - Establish team conventions
4. **Don't over-label** - 2-4 labels per issue is typical
5. **Review periodically** - Remove unused labels
