## Document Sharding Detection

The agent automatically detects if a document is sharded:

- **Unsharded:** Single file at provided path
- **Sharded:** Directory with same name as document, containing files for each Level 2 heading

Example:

- Unsharded: `docs/prd.md`
- Sharded: `docs/prd/` containing `overview.md`, `requirements.md`, etc.
