FAQPage Schema

How do I turn exploration findings into a beads epic with child tasks?▼

To turn exploration findings into a beads epic, the skill parses sourced plans to extract design content, derives execution phases, sets dependencies, and validates the structured plan using bd lint before creating tasks.

How do I automate breaking a project plan into phases and dependencies for task management?▼

Automating task management parsing extracts design content from your plan, derives distinct execution phases, maps dependencies between them, and optionally configures swarm teams for coordinated execution.

Can I validate my beads epic execution plan before assigning it to a swarm?▼

Yes, you can validate your execution plan before swarming by running the bd lint workflow step, which checks the derived phases and dependencies for structural consistency.

Does the beads task preparation workflow support creating swarm teams automatically?▼

Yes, the beads task preparation workflow optionally creates swarm teams after extracting design content, deriving phases, setting dependencies, and successfully validating the plan with bd lint.

What is the best way to convert in-progress beads issues into a structured execution plan?▼

Converting in-progress beads issues into a structured execution plan involves parsing the issue for phases and dependencies, validating the extracted design content with bd lint, and generating child tasks.

When should I not use automated epic and task generation from exploration reviews?▼

Automated epic and task generation is not suitable when your plan is not sourced from a beads issue or lacks in-progress tasks, as the workflow relies on parsing these specific inputs to derive phases and dependencies.
