What problem does it solve?
This Skill streamlines task management by providing a Git-native, dependency-aware issue tracking system (bd - beads). It eliminates fragmented task lists, ensures all work is tracked, and optimizes for AI agent interaction, making project coordination effortless.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dependency-Aware Tracking: Manages tasks with explicit blockers, dependents, and "discovered-from" links, providing a clear project graph.
- Git-Native History: Automatically syncs task history to
.beads/issues.jsonl, ensuring task data is version-controlled alongside code.
- Agent-Optimized Interface: Offers machine-readable JSON output and "ready" filtering, allowing AI agents to efficiently discover, claim, and update tasks.
- Use Case: An AI agent needs to find the next available task in a project, claim it, and update its status as work progresses. This skill provides the exact commands to interact with the
bd system, ensuring seamless integration into automated workflows.
Quick Start
Find the next unblocked task using bd, claim it as 'in_progress', and add a note 'Starting work on feature X'.
