-# Agent Instructions
-
-This project uses [Backlog.md](https://github.com/MrLesk/Backlog.md) for issue tracking.
-
-## Quick Setup
-
-```bash
-# Install (choose one)
-bun i -g backlog.md
-npm i -g backlog.md
-brew install backlog-md
-
-# Initialize in your project
-backlog init "Project Name"
-
-# Shell completion (optional)
-backlog completion install
-```
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-```bash
-# Create a task
-backlog task create "Task title" -d "Description"
-
-# List tasks
-backlog task list --plain
-
-# View Kanban board (TUI)
-backlog board
-
-# Web UI
-backlog browser
-
-# Configure settings
-backlog config
-```
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Check available work: `backlog task list`
-2. Claim work: `backlog task edit <id> --status "In Progress"`
-3. Do the work
-4. Complete: `backlog task edit <id> --status "Done"`
-5. Commit and push
-
-## Landing the Plane (Session Completion)
-
-**When ending a work session**, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds.
-
-**MANDATORY WORKFLOW:**
-
-1. **Update Backlog.md** - Move completed tasks, add new items for follow-up work
-2. **Run quality gates** (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
-3. **PUSH TO REMOTE** - This is MANDATORY:
-   ```bash
-   git add -A
-   git commit -m "description of work"
-   git pull --rebase
-   git push
-   git status  # MUST show "up to date with origin"
-   ```
-4. **Verify** - All changes committed AND pushed
-5. **Hand off** - Provide context for next session
-
-**CRITICAL RULES:**
-- Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds
-- NEVER stop before pushing - that leaves work stranded locally
-- NEVER say "ready to push when you are" - YOU must push
-- If push fails, resolve and retry until it succeeds
+# Agent Instructions
+
+This project uses a **dual tracking system**:
+
+| Tool | Audience | Purpose |
+|------|----------|---------|
+| [beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads) (`bd`) | Agents | Active work, dependencies, blockers, structured memory |
+| [Backlog.md](Backlog.md) | Humans | Completed work archive, decisions, readable changelog |
+
+**The rule:** beads is always current. Backlog.md gets updated when work completes.
+
+## Quick Setup
+
+```bash
+# Install beads
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steveyegge/beads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+
+# Initialize in your project
+bd init
+
+# Run doctor to verify setup
+bd doctor
+```
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Simple task
+bd create "Issue title" --description="What needs to be done" -l in_progress
+
+# Epic for complex work
+bd create "Feature name" --type epic -p 1
+
+# Subtask with parent
+bd create "Subtask" --parent <epic-id>
+
+# Task with dependency
+bd create "Blocked task" --deps "<blocker-id>"
+
+# List issues / see what's ready
+bd list
+bd ready
+
+# View dependencies
+bd dep tree <id>
+
+# Close an issue
+bd close <id>
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Simple Tasks
+1. `bd create "Task" -l in_progress`
+2. Do the work
+3. `bd close <id>`
+4. Update Backlog.md if significant
+5. Commit and push
+
+### Complex Work (Multi-Agent)
+1. `bd create "Feature" --type epic -p 1`
+2. Break into subtasks with `--parent` and `--deps`
+3. `bd ready` to find unblocked work
+4. Route to specialists with issue IDs
+5. Close subtasks as they complete
+6. `bd epic close-eligible` when all children done
+7. Update Backlog.md with summary
+8. Commit and push
+
+## Landing the Plane (Session Completion)
+
+**When ending a work session**, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds.
+
+**MANDATORY WORKFLOW:**
+
+1. **Close beads issues** - `bd close <id>` for completed work
+2. **Create follow-up issues** - `bd create` for any remaining work
+3. **Update Backlog.md** - Add summary to Completed section for significant work
+4. **Run quality gates** (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
+5. **PUSH TO REMOTE** - This is MANDATORY:
+   ```bash
+   git add -A
+   git commit -m "description of work"
+   git pull --rebase
+   git push
+   git status  # MUST show "up to date with origin"
+   ```
