beads/crew/dave f03c754df1 refactor: move Claude Code plugin to dedicated subdirectory (GH#985)
Move all plugin content to claude-plugin/ subdirectory for cleaner
separation from core beads functionality:

- claude-plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json - plugin manifest
- claude-plugin/commands/ - all slash commands
- claude-plugin/agents/ - task-agent (now in correct location)
- claude-plugin/skills/beads/ - beads skill with resources

Root .claude-plugin/ now only contains marketplace.json pointing
to ./claude-plugin.

Note: After updating, users may need to clear plugin cache:
  rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/beads-marketplace/

Fixes #985

Import issues from JSONL format
-i input-file

Import issues from JSON Lines format (one JSON object per line).

Usage

  • From stdin: bd import (reads from stdin)
  • From file: bd import -i issues.jsonl
  • Preview: bd import -i issues.jsonl --dry-run

Behavior

  • Existing issues (same ID): Updated with new data
  • New issues: Created
  • Same-ID scenarios: With hash-based IDs (v0.20.1+), same ID = same issue being updated (not a collision)

Preview Changes

Use --dry-run to see what will change before importing:

bd import -i issues.jsonl --dry-run
# Shows: new issues, updates, exact matches

Automatic Import

The daemon automatically imports from .beads/issues.jsonl when it's newer than the database (e.g., after git pull). Manual import is rarely needed.

Options

  • --skip-existing: Skip updates to existing issues
  • --strict: Fail on dependency errors instead of warnings
