* examples: Add complete Go extension example with documentation Adds a comprehensive Go extension example demonstrating bd's extension patterns and Go API usage: **New bd-example-extension-go package:** - Complete working example in 116 lines total - main.go (93 lines): Full workflow with embedded schema - schema.sql (23 lines): Extension tables with foreign keys - Comprehensive README.md (241 lines): Documentation and usage guide - Go module with proper dependencies **Key patterns demonstrated:** - Schema extension with namespaced tables (example_executions, example_checkpoints) - Foreign key integration with bd's issues table - Dual-layer access using bd's Go API + direct SQL queries - Complex joined queries across bd and extension tables - Execution tracking with agent assignment and checkpointing **Features:** - Auto-discovery of bd database path - Proper SQLite configuration (WAL mode, busy timeout) - Real-world orchestration patterns - Installation and usage instructions - Integration examples with bd's ready work queue This provides a complete reference implementation for developers building bd extensions, complementing the Go API added in recent commits. * Update go.mod after merge with main, add .gitignore - Fix Go version to 1.21 (matches main module) - Reorganize dependencies properly - Keep replace directive for local development - Add .gitignore for built binary --------- Co-authored-by: Steve Yegge <steve.yegge@gmail.com>
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
- branch-merge/ - Branch merge workflow with collision resolution
- 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
# Try branch merge collision resolution
cd branch-merge
./demo.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.
