Beads Plan Tracking

You can convert a plan document into a task hierarchy by transforming plan items into epics, features, and tasks with explicit dependencies. This enforces the correct order of work and preserves actionable context across sessions using frontmatter mapping.

To track feature dependencies across sessions, you can wire explicit dependencies between generated epics, features, and tasks. Embedding plan metadata and referencing the original plan with a spec-id ensures a reproducible workflow that survives context loss.

The best way to structure epics, features, and tasks from a plan file is to apply a TDD-oriented hierarchy conversion. This process maps frontmatter and plan references to produce a verified issue hierarchy that guides team execution.

Beads Plan Tracking requires plan files that support frontmatter mapping and plan references. Providing a compatible plan file allows the tool to generate beads epics, features, and tasks with the required dependency wiring.

You can preserve original context when converting plan items by embedding plan metadata and referencing the source document with a spec-id. This ensures the generated task hierarchy retains actionable links back to the initial plan.

Dependencies may fail to wire correctly if the plan file lacks proper frontmatter mapping or explicit plan references. Beads Plan Tracking requires these elements to enforce correct dependency wiring for downstream planning and execution.
