Beads initialization
Initialize beads issue tracking in a project with dolt database persistence.
Initialize without auto-staging hooks
bd init --skip-hooks -p <prefix> -q
Replace <prefix> with the project-specific issue prefix (e.g., INFRA, TS, CLAN).
The --skip-hooks flag prevents installation of git hooks that would automatically stage .beads/*.jsonl files on every commit.
We keep the default merge driver (no --skip-merge-driver) since it only activates during merge conflicts and doesn't auto-stage.
For completely invisible beads usage without affecting repository collaborators, consider --stealth mode instead (see below).
Alternative: Stealth mode (invisible beads)
For personal use without affecting repository collaborators:
