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

description: Update an issue's status, priority, or other fields argument-hint: [issue-id] [status]

Update a beads issue.

If arguments are provided:

  • $1: Issue ID
  • $2: New status (open, in_progress, blocked, closed)

If arguments are missing, ask the user for:

  1. Issue ID
  2. What to update (status, priority, assignee, title, description)
  3. New value

Use the beads MCP update tool to apply the changes. Show the updated issue to confirm the change.

Note: Comments are managed separately with bd comments add. The update command is for singular, versioned properties (title, status, priority, etc.), while comments form a discussion thread that's appended to, not updated.

Common workflows:

  • Start work: Update status to in_progress
  • Mark blocked: Update status to blocked
  • Reprioritize: Update priority (0-4)
