SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transform a user plan into a structured set of Beads tasks with clear titles, acceptance criteria, and dependencies, enabling safe parallel execution and traceable progress.

Core Features & Use Cases

Decompose a user plan into discrete, schedulable Beads tasks with ownership and scope.
Encode task dependencies so parallel work can proceed where safe.
Prepare tasks for orchestration, review, QA, and merge readiness, with planning context.

Quick Start

Create a plan from user goals and run the planning stage to generate tasks ready for execution.

FAQPage Schema

How do I decompose a project plan into tasks for parallel execution?▼

Encoding task dependencies ensures parallel work proceeds safely by mapping relationships between tasks. This approach schedules independent tasks concurrently while blocking dependent tasks until prerequisites finish, preventing conflicts during execution.

What is the best way to structure plans for parallel task orchestration?▼

To generate schedulable tasks from a user plan, you parse the plan to extract goals and create discrete tasks with acceptance criteria. Dependencies are then encoded to enable safe parallel execution and orchestration.

Does beads-planner work without external dependencies?▼

Task decomposition is needed when a planning phase requires tasks to be distributed for parallel execution. It allows safe orchestration by encoding dependencies so parallel work proceeds without conflict.
