* test(validation): add failing tests for hyphenated prefix parsing Reproduces bug where `bd create --parent` fails for projects with hyphenated prefixes like "bead-me-up" or "web-app". Root cause: ValidateIDFormat splits on first hyphen, so: "bead-me-up-3e9.1" → prefix "bead" (wrong, should be "bead-me-up") The bug flow in create.go: 1. User runs: bd create "Child" --parent bead-me-up-3e9 2. GetNextChildID generates: bead-me-up-3e9.1 3. ValidateIDFormat extracts: "bead" (splits at first hyphen) 4. ValidatePrefix compares: "bead" vs "bead-me-up" → MISMATCH Tests added: - TestValidateIDFormat: 6 cases for hyphenated prefix IDs - TestValidateIDFormat_ParentChildFlow: simulates exact --parent flow, showing simple prefixes pass while hyphenated prefixes fail Workaround: use --force flag to bypass prefix validation. * fix(validation): support hyphenated prefixes in ValidateIDFormat Use utils.ExtractIssuePrefix instead of naive first-hyphen splitting. This fixes bd create --parent failing for projects with hyphenated prefixes like "bead-me-up" or "web-app". Before: "bead-me-up-3e9" → prefix "bead" (wrong) After: "bead-me-up-3e9" → prefix "bead-me-up" (correct) ExtractIssuePrefix uses smart heuristics: split on last hyphen, check if suffix is hash-like (3-8 chars, alphanumeric, digits for 4+). * Update internal/validation/bead_test.go Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.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/FreeBSD)
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.
📖 Essential Commands

🔗 Hierarchy & Workflow
Beads supports hierarchical IDs for epics:
bd-a3f8(Epic)bd-a3f8.1(Task)bd-a3f8.1.1(Sub-task)
Stealth Mode: Run bd init --stealth to use Beads locally without committing files to the main repo. Perfect for personal use on shared projects.
