+
+**Every new chat session gets its own branch.** No exceptions. No working on `main`. No reusing stale branches from old sessions.
+
+When a session begins, BEFORE doing any work:
+
+1. **Create an epic** for the session's work:
+   ```bash
+   bd create "<descriptive title>" --type epic -p 1
+   ```
+
+2. **Create and checkout a fresh epic branch** from `main`:
+   ```bash
+   git fetch origin main
+   git checkout -b epic/<epic-id> origin/main
+   ```
+
+3. **Confirm you're on the right branch:**
+   ```bash
+   git branch --show-current  # MUST show epic/<epic-id>

+
+If the user references an existing epic or asks to continue previous work, check out that epic's branch instead:

+
+### Step 2: Check for drift
+
+Formatters, editors, and VS Code extensions can silently revert agent changes between sessions. Before doing anything else:
+
+```bash
+# Check for uncommitted changes (formatter reverts)
+git status

+BRANCH="$(git branch --show-current)"

+else
+  echo "No upstream branch 'origin/$BRANCH' yet."
+  echo "To set it up, run: git push -u origin \"$BRANCH\""
+  echo "Then re-run this drift check."
+fi
+```
+
+**If you see unexpected diffs:**
+- Formatter reverts → Re-apply the intended changes
+- User edits → Respect them, adjust your plan accordingly
+- Auto-generated files → Verify they match expectations
+
+### Step 3: Spot-check closed work
+
+Pick 1-2 issues from the last session and verify the changes are actually in the code:
+```bash
+# Example: verify an import was actually added
+grep -r "import.*ComponentName" src/

+If beads says "done" but the code disagrees, reopen the issue and re-apply the fix.
