What problem does it solve?
This skill solves the issue of AI agents losing context between sessions by providing a git-backed, dependency-aware graph tracker that maintains persistent memory of tasks, blockers, and project progress.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dependency Tracking: Manage complex task relationships including blocks, parent-child, and discovered-from dependencies.
- Persistent Memory: Maintain project state across compactions and sessions using a git-backed Dolt SQL database.
- Use Case: When working on a large feature, use this skill to define an epic, break it into subtasks, and automatically track which tasks are blocked by others, ensuring the AI agent always knows what work is ready to be performed next.
Quick Start
Initialize the beads issue tracker in your current project directory to begin managing tasks with dependency awareness.
