FAQPage Schema
How do I manage issue tracking and task workflows from the command line?▼

Workflow automation uses predefined formulas for common processes like feature development, bug fixing, and research. You trigger these formulas through the bd CLI to execute structured task sequences automatically.

How do I track task dependencies for large feature planning?▼

Dependency tracking is handled by managing task dependencies directly through the bd CLI. It also integrates with Spec-kit to facilitate and coordinate large feature planning across multiple sessions.

Can I coordinate multi-session work using the Beads CLI?▼

Yes, the Beads CLI facilitates multi-session work coordination by managing issue lifecycles and task dependencies. This ensures logical workflow execution across different development sessions.

Do I need Spec-kit to create and close issues with the bd command?▼

No, you do not need Spec-kit for basic issue creation and closing. Spec-kit integration is specifically used for large feature planning, while standard issue lifecycle management relies solely on the bd CLI.
