Beads Examples
This directory contains examples of how to integrate bd with AI agents and workflows.
Examples
- python-agent/ - Simple Python agent that discovers ready work and completes tasks
- bash-agent/ - Bash script showing the full agent workflow
- git-hooks/ - Pre-configured git hooks for automatic export/import
- claude-desktop-mcp/ - MCP server for Claude Desktop integration
Quick Start
# Try the Python agent example
cd python-agent
python agent.py
# Try the bash agent example
cd bash-agent
./agent.sh
# Install git hooks
cd git-hooks
./install.sh
Creating Your Own Agent
The basic agent workflow:
- Find ready work:
bd ready --json --limit 1 - Claim the task:
bd update <id> --status in_progress --json - Do the work: Execute the task
- Discover new issues:
bd create "Found bug" --json - Link discoveries:
bd dep add <new-id> <parent-id> --type discovered-from - Complete the task:
bd close <id> --reason "Done" --json
All commands support --json for easy parsing.
