beads-workflow

Beads is an AI-native issue tracker that coordinates work items across agents by creating, tracking, and syncing issues with GitHub PRs. Use bd create to open issues, bd dep add to model task dependencies, and bd sync to keep state synchronized across agents and repositories.

Yes. Beads models task blocks and readiness through dependency management. Use bd dep add to establish dependencies between issues, bd dep tree to visualize the dependency graph, and bd dep rm to remove blocking relationships as work progresses.

Beads supports status workflow and team-visibility patterns through command-based CRUD operations. Use bd list to view all issues, bd show to inspect details, bd update to change status, and bd close to mark work complete, ensuring all agents see current state.

Link Beads issues to GitHub PRs for unified visibility. Use bd create to establish an issue, then reference the GitHub PR in the issue details. Run bd sync to pull changes from GitHub and bd flush to push Beads state back, maintaining consistency across platforms.

Yes. Beads coordinates handoffs across agents through dependency tracking and status updates. Model task sequence with bd dep add, update issue ownership with bd update, and use bd list to ensure receiving agents see incoming work with full context and dependencies.
