What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the setup of a robust issue tracking system using 'beads' and 'dolt' for new repositories, ensuring data persistence and version control for issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initialize Issue Tracking: Sets up 'beads' for managing project issues.
  • Dolt Persistence: Integrates 'dolt' for version-controlled issue data, enabling SQL querying and Git-like history.
  • Configurable Hooks: Allows for optional Git hooks to manage issue staging.
  • Stealth Mode: Enables invisible issue tracking for personal use without affecting collaborators.
  • Use Case: When starting a new software project, use this Skill to quickly set up a reliable and version-controlled system for tracking bugs, features, and tasks.

Quick Start

Initialize beads issue tracking in a project with dolt database persistence using the command bd init --skip-hooks -p <prefix> -q.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize issue tracking with dolt database persistence in a new repository?

To initialize issue tracking with dolt persistence, run the command `bd init --skip-hooks -p <prefix> -q` in your project directory. This sets up beads issue tracking and configures dolt for version-controlled issue data.

What is stealth mode for invisible issue tracking in git repositories?

Stealth mode enables invisible issue tracking for personal use within a git repository without affecting collaborators. It allows you to track bugs and tasks locally using beads while keeping the issue data hidden from the shared project.

Can I use git hooks to manage issue staging automatically?

Yes, configurable git hooks can be set up during initialization to manage issue staging automatically. If you prefer to skip this configuration, the `--skip-hooks` flag bypasses hook setup entirely.

Why use dolt for version-controlled issue data instead of standard issue trackers?

Using dolt for version-controlled issue data provides SQL querying capabilities and Git-like history for your project issues. This integration with beads enables robust data persistence, backup, and replication compared to standard file-based tracking.

Do I need dolt installed to set up beads issue tracking for my project?

Yes, dolt is required as the persistence layer to store and version your issue data. The skill initializes beads to integrate directly with dolt, enabling SQL querying and Git-like history for your repository's issues.
