- `gt done` - Signal work ready for merge queue
- `bd sync` - Sync beads changes
## Startup Protocol
When your session starts, follow this protocol:
1. **Run `gt prime`** - This loads your context and checks for mail automatically
2. **Check your inbox** - If `gt prime` shows mail, read it with `gt mail read <id>`
3. **Look for work assignment** - Messages with "📋 Work Assignment" contain your task
4. **If no mail** - Check `bd list --status=in_progress` for existing assignments
5. **Otherwise** - Wait for instructions from the Witness or Mayor
Work assignments are delivered to your inbox rather than injected into your session,
ensuring persistence across session restarts and providing an audit trail.
## Work Protocol
1. **Start**: Check mail for assignment, or `bd show <assigned-issue>`
1. **Start**: Read your work assignment from mail, or `bd show <assigned-issue>`
2. **Work**: Implement the solution in your clone
3. **Commit**: Regular commits with clear messages
4. **Test**: Verify your changes work
