Add SourceFormula and SourceLocation fields to track where each step came from during the cooking process. This enables debugging of complex compositions with inheritance, expansion, and advice. Changes: - Added SourceFormula and SourceLocation fields to Step struct (formula/types.go) - Added same fields to Issue struct (types/types.go) - Added SetSourceInfo() to parser.go - sets source on all steps after parsing - Updated cook.go to copy source fields from Step to Issue - Updated dry-run output to display source info: [from: formula@location] - Updated advice.go to set source on advice-generated steps - Updated controlflow.go to preserve source on loop-expanded steps - Updated expand.go to preserve source on template-expanded steps The source location format is: - steps[N] - regular step at index N - steps[N].children[M] - child step - steps[N].loop.body[M] - loop body step - template[N] - expansion template step - advice - step inserted by advice transformation 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
bd - Beads
Distributed, git-backed graph issue tracker for AI agents.
Beads provides a persistent, structured memory for coding agents. It replaces messy markdown plans with a dependency-aware graph, allowing agents to handle long-horizon tasks without losing context.
⚡ Quick Start
# Install (macOS/Linux)
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steveyegge/beads/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
# Initialize (Humans run this once)
bd init
# Tell your agent
echo "Use 'bd' for task tracking" >> AGENTS.md
🛠 Features
- Git as Database: Issues stored as JSONL in
.beads/. Versioned, branched, and merged like code. - Agent-Optimized: JSON output, dependency tracking, and auto-ready task detection.
- Zero Conflict: Hash-based IDs (
bd-a1b2) prevent merge collisions in multi-agent/multi-branch workflows. - Invisible Infrastructure: SQLite local cache for speed; background daemon for auto-sync.
- Compaction: Semantic "memory decay" summarizes old closed tasks to save context window.

🔗 Hierarchy & Workflow
Beads supports hierarchical IDs for epics:
bd-a3f8(Epic)bd-a3f8.1(Task)bd-a3f8.1.1(Sub-task)
