# 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)
