Add support for JetBrains Junie AI agent:
- Create .junie/guidelines.md with workflow instructions
- Create .junie/mcp/mcp.json for MCP server configuration
- Add 'junie' to BuiltinRecipes in recipes.go
- Add runJunieRecipe() handler in setup.go

# Junie Integration
How to use beads with Junie (JetBrains AI Agent).
## Setup
### Quick Setup
```bash
bd setup junie
```
This creates:
- **`.junie/guidelines.md`** - Agent instructions for beads workflow
- **`.junie/mcp/mcp.json`** - MCP server configuration
### Verify Setup
```bash
bd setup junie --check
```
## How It Works
1. **Session starts** → Junie reads `.junie/guidelines.md` for workflow context
2. **MCP tools available** → Junie can use beads MCP tools directly
3. **You work** → Use `bd` CLI commands or MCP tools
4. **Session ends** → Run `bd sync` to save work to git
## Configuration Files
### Guidelines (`.junie/guidelines.md`)
Contains workflow instructions that Junie reads automatically:
- Core workflow rules
- Command reference
- Issue types and priorities
- MCP tool documentation
### MCP Config (`.junie/mcp/mcp.json`)
Configures the beads MCP server:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"beads": {
"command": "bd",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}
```
## MCP Tools
With MCP configured, Junie can use these tools directly:
| Tool | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `mcp_beads_ready` | Find tasks ready for work |
| `mcp_beads_list` | List issues with filters |
| `mcp_beads_show` | Show issue details |
| `mcp_beads_create` | Create new issues |
| `mcp_beads_update` | Update issue status/priority |
| `mcp_beads_close` | Close completed issues |
| `mcp_beads_dep` | Manage dependencies |
| `mcp_beads_blocked` | Show blocked issues |
| `mcp_beads_stats` | Get issue statistics |
## CLI Commands
You can also use the `bd` CLI directly:
### Creating Issues
```bash
# Always include description for context
bd create "Fix authentication bug" \
--description="Login fails with special characters in password" \
-t bug -p 1 --json
# Link discovered issues
bd create "Found SQL injection" \
--description="User input not sanitized in query builder" \
--deps discovered-from:bd-42 --json
```
### Working on Issues
```bash
# Find ready work
bd ready --json
# Start work
bd update bd-42 --status in_progress --json
# Complete work
bd close bd-42 --reason "Fixed in commit abc123" --json
```
### Querying
```bash
# List open issues
bd list --status open --json
# Show issue details
bd show bd-42 --json
# Check blocked issues
bd blocked --json
```
### Syncing
```bash
# ALWAYS run at session end
bd sync
```
## Best Practices
### Always Use `--json`
```bash
bd list --json # Parse programmatically
bd create "Task" --json # Get issue ID from output
bd show bd-42 --json # Structured data
```
### Always Include Descriptions
```bash
# Good
bd create "Fix auth bug" \
--description="Login fails when password contains quotes" \
-t bug -p 1 --json
# Bad - no context for future work
bd create "Fix auth bug" -t bug -p 1 --json
```
### Link Related Work
```bash
# When you discover issues during work
bd create "Found related bug" \
--deps discovered-from:bd-current --json
```
### Sync Before Session End
```bash
# ALWAYS run before ending
bd sync
```
## Troubleshooting
### Guidelines not loaded
```bash
# Check setup
bd setup junie --check
# Reinstall if needed
bd setup junie
```
### MCP tools not available
```bash
# Verify MCP config exists
cat .junie/mcp/mcp.json
# Test MCP server
bd mcp --help
```
### Changes not syncing
```bash
# Force sync
bd sync
# Check daemon
bd info
bd daemons health
```
### Database not found
```bash
# Initialize beads
bd init --quiet
```
## Removing Integration
```bash
bd setup junie --remove
```
This removes:
- `.junie/guidelines.md`
- `.junie/mcp/mcp.json`
- Empty `.junie/mcp/` and `.junie/` directories
