description: Manage issue labels argument-hint: [command] [issue-id] [label]

Manage labels on beads issues. Labels provide flexible cross-cutting metadata beyond structured fields (status, priority, type).

Available Commands

  • add: Add a label to an issue

    • $1: "add"
    • $2: Issue ID
    • $3: Label name
  • remove: Remove a label from an issue

    • $1: "remove"
    • $2: Issue ID
    • $3: Label name
  • list: List labels on a specific issue

    • $1: "list"
    • $2: Issue ID
  • list-all: Show all labels used across all issues

Common Label Use Cases

  • Technical scope: backend, frontend, api, database
  • Quality gates: needs-review, needs-tests, security-review
  • Effort sizing: quick-win, complex, spike
  • Context: technical-debt, documentation, performance

Use bd label add <issue-id> <label> to tag issues with contextual metadata.
