SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Advanced BD operations for managing complex task structures; bd is single source of truth, keep it accurate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Split task
  • Merge duplicates
  • Change dependencies
  • Archive epic
  • Query metrics
  • Cross-epic deps
  • Bulk updates
  • Recover mistakes

Quick Start

Split a large BD into subtasks, establish dependencies (e.g., bd dep add), view the BD tree, then update the parent task to reflect the split and close subtasks as appropriate.

FAQPage Schema
How do I split and merge tasks in BD to resolve duplicate or fragmented structures?

Split large tasks into subtasks and merge duplicates by using the advanced management actions in BD. The Skill executes splitting, merging, and dependency changes while preserving change history and maintaining a single source of truth for accurate task orchestration.

Can I change task dependencies and manage cross-epic dependencies in BD?

Yes. You can add, modify, and remove dependencies between tasks and across epics using commands like bd dep add. The Skill validates dependency graphs to prevent cycles and ensures all changes are auditable and recoverable.

What happens if I make a mistake updating BD tasks—can I recover?

All updates are recoverable. The Skill preserves full change history and provides auditable, reversible commands so you can undo mistakes and restore previous task states without data loss.

How do I query metrics and archive epics from BD?

Use built-in query and archival actions to extract task metrics and retire completed epics. These operations maintain BD as your single source of truth while keeping historical records intact and accessible.

Can I perform bulk updates across multiple BD tasks at once?

Yes. The Skill supports bulk updates for mid-flight task management, allowing you to modify multiple tasks, dependencies, and epic states in coordinated operations while enforcing validation and auditability.

Why should I use BD for task management instead of handling updates manually?

BD enforces a single source of truth, validates all dependency changes, logs every modification, and enables instant recovery from errors. This prevents fragmented task structures and ensures complex task orchestration remains accurate and auditable.
