View or add comments to a beads issue.
Comments are separate from issue properties (title, description, etc.) because they serve a different purpose: they're a **discussion thread** rather than **singular editable fields**. Use `bd comments` for threaded conversations and `bd edit` for core issue metadata.
## View Comments
To view all comments on an issue:
- $1: Issue ID (e.g., bd-123)
Use the beads CLI `bd comments <issue-id>` to list all comments. Show them to the user with timestamps and authors.
## Add Comment
To add a comment:
- $1: "add"
- $2: Issue ID
- $3: Comment text (or use -f flag for file input)
Use `bd comments add <issue-id> "comment text"` to add a comment. Confirm the comment was added successfully.
Comments are useful for:
- Progress updates during work
- Design notes or technical decisions
- Links to related resources
- Questions or blockers
