task-management

Task management with bd (beads) lets you decompose plans into actionable subtasks with dependencies and track progress within and across sessions. Use bd quickstart to initialize, update FOCUS.md at task start, and instruct subagents to consult bd regularly so work transfers seamlessly between agents.

Yes. This Skill coordinates tasks across agents by using bd for subtasks and local to-do lists, updating FOCUS.md to hand off work, and consulting Linear MCP when available or NOTES.md as fallback, ensuring context persists across session boundaries.

Run bd quickstart to initialize task management with beads for your current session. If bd is unavailable, initialize NOTES.md as a local to-do workflow to keep track of actionable items within the session.

Breaking work into subtasks with bd and maintaining local to-do lists removes the burden of holding context in memory. Updating FOCUS.md and instructing subagents to consult bd keeps all participants aligned without duplicated effort.

No. The Skill consults Linear MCP when available but falls back to NOTES.md, so you can manage tasks with just local files and bd if external tools aren't accessible.

Yes. The Skill breaks down plans into issues with dependencies and tracks progress across multiple worktrees and sessions, making it suitable for complex workflows where subtasks have prerequisites or parallel tracks.
