Beads Workflow

Beads is an issue tracker designed for AI-supervised coding workflows. Here's how to use it effectively:

1. Find Ready Work

Use /beads:ready or the ready MCP tool to see tasks with no blockers.

2. Claim Your Task

Update the issue status to in_progress:

Via command: /beads:update <id> in_progress
Via MCP tool: update with status: "in_progress"

3. Work on It

Implement, test, and document the feature or fix.

4. Discover New Work

As you work, you'll often find bugs, TODOs, or related work:

Create issues: /beads:create or create MCP tool
Link them: Use dep MCP tool with type: "discovered-from"
This maintains context and work history

5. Complete the Task

Close the issue when done:

Via command: /beads:close <id> "Completed: <summary>"
Via MCP tool: close with reason

6. Check What's Unblocked

After closing, check if other work became ready:

Use /beads:ready to see newly unblocked tasks
Start the cycle again

Tips

Priority levels: 0=critical, 1=high, 2=medium, 3=low, 4=backlog
Issue types: bug, feature, task, epic, chore
Dependencies: Use blocks for hard dependencies, related for soft links
Auto-sync: Changes automatically export to .beads/issues.jsonl (5-second debounce)
Git workflow: After git pull, JSONL auto-imports if newer than DB

Available Commands

/beads:ready - Find unblocked work
/beads:create - Create new issue
/beads:show - Show issue details
/beads:update - Update issue
/beads:close - Close issue
/beads:workflow - Show this guide (you are here!)

MCP Tools Available

Use these via the beads MCP server:

ready, list, show, create, update, close
dep (manage dependencies), blocked, stats
init (initialize bd in a project)
