+description: Orchestrate parallel bead processing with worktrees, PRs, and reviews
+---
+
+# Parallel Beads Workflow
+
+This skill orchestrates parallel bead processing using subagents. Each bead gets its own worktree, implementation, PR, and review.
+
+## Phase 1: Selection
+
+1. **Get ready beads**: Run `bd ready` to list all beads with no blockers
+2. **Present selection**: Use `AskUserQuestion` with `multiSelect: true` to let the user choose which beads to work on
+   - Include bead ID and title for each option
+   - Allow selection of multiple beads
+
+Example:
+```
+AskUserQuestion with:
+- question: "Which beads do you want to work on in parallel?"
+- multiSelect: true
+- options from bd ready output
+```
+
+## Phase 2: Parallel Implementation
+
+For each selected bead, launch a subagent using the Task tool. All subagents should be launched in parallel (single message with multiple Task tool calls).
+
+### Subagent Instructions Template
+
+Each implementation subagent should receive these instructions:
+
+```
+Work on bead [BEAD_ID]: [BEAD_TITLE]
+
+1. **Create worktree**:
+   - Branch name: `bead/[BEAD_ID]`
+   - Worktree path: `~/wt/[REPO_NAME]/[BEAD_ID]`
+   - Command: `git worktree add -b bead/[BEAD_ID] ~/wt/[REPO_NAME]/[BEAD_ID]`
+
+2. **Review the bead requirements**:
+   - Run `bd show [BEAD_ID]` to understand the acceptance criteria
+   - Note any external issue references (GitHub issues, Linear tickets, etc.)
+
+3. **Implement the changes**:
+   - Work in the worktree directory
+   - Complete all acceptance criteria listed in the bead
+   - Run any relevant tests or checks
+
+4. **Commit and push**:
+   - Stage all changes: `git add -A`
+   - Create a descriptive commit message
+   - Push the branch: `git push -u origin bead/[BEAD_ID]`
+
+5. **Create a PR**:
+   - Detect hosting provider from origin URL: `git remote get-url origin`
+   - If URL contains `github.com`, use `gh`; otherwise use `tea` (Gitea/Forgejo)
+   - PR title: "[BEAD_ID] [BEAD_TITLE]"
+   - PR body must include:
+     - Reference to bead ID: "Implements bead: [BEAD_ID]"
+     - Any external issue references from the bead (e.g., "Closes #123")
+     - Summary of changes
+   - For GitHub (`gh`):
+     ```bash
+     gh pr create --title "[BEAD_ID] [BEAD_TITLE]" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
+     ## Summary
+     [Brief description of changes]
+
+     ## Bead Reference
+     Implements bead: [BEAD_ID]
+
+     ## External Issues
+     [Any linked issues from the bead]
+
+     ## Changes
+     - [List of changes made]
+     EOF
+     )"
+     ```
+   - For Gitea (`tea`):
+     ```bash
+     tea pr create --head bead/[BEAD_ID] --base main \
+       --title "[BEAD_ID] [BEAD_TITLE]" \
+       --description "## Summary
+     [Brief description of changes]
+
+     ## Bead Reference
+     Implements bead: [BEAD_ID]
+
+     ## External Issues
+     [Any linked issues from the bead]
+
+     ## Changes
+     - [List of changes made]"
+     ```
+
+6. **Update bead status**:
+   - Mark the bead as "in_review": `bd update [BEAD_ID] --status=in_review`
+   - Add the PR URL to the bead notes: `bd update [BEAD_ID] --notes="$(bd show [BEAD_ID] --json | jq -r '.notes')
+
+PR: [PR_URL]"`
+
+7. **Report results**:
+   - Return: PR URL, bead ID, success/failure status
+   - If blocked or unable to complete, explain what's blocking progress
+```
+
+### Launching Subagents
+
+Use `subagent_type: "general-purpose"` for implementation subagents. Launch all selected beads' subagents in a single message for parallel execution:
+
+```
+<Task calls for each selected bead - all in one message>
+```
+
+Collect results from all subagents before proceeding.
+
+## Phase 3: Parallel Review
+
+After all implementation subagents complete, launch review subagents for each PR.
+
+### Review Subagent Instructions Template
+
+```
+Review PR for bead [BEAD_ID]
+
+1. **Detect hosting provider**: Run `git remote get-url origin` - if it contains `github.com` use `gh`, otherwise use `tea`
+
+2. **Read the PR**:
+   - For GitHub: `gh pr view [PR_NUMBER] --json title,body,additions,deletions,files`
+   - For Gitea: `tea pr view [PR_NUMBER]`
+   - View the diff: `git diff main...bead/[BEAD_ID]`
+
+3. **Review against acceptance criteria**:
+   - Run `bd show [BEAD_ID]` to get the acceptance criteria
+   - Verify each criterion is addressed
+
+4. **Leave review comments**:
+   - For GitHub: `gh pr review [PR_NUMBER] --comment --body "[COMMENTS]"`
+   - For Gitea: `tea pr review [PR_NUMBER] --comment "[COMMENTS]"`
+   - Include:
+     - Acceptance criteria checklist (which are met, which might be missing)
+     - Code quality observations
+     - Suggestions for improvement
+
+5. **Return summary**:
+   - Overall assessment (ready to merge / needs changes)
+   - Key findings
+```
+
+Launch all review subagents in parallel.
+
+## Phase 4: Cleanup and Summary
+
+After reviews complete:
+
+1. **Clean up worktrees**:
+   ```bash
+   git worktree remove ~/wt/[REPO_NAME]/[BEAD_ID] --force
+   ```
+   Do this for each bead's worktree.
+
+2. **Provide final summary**:
+   Present a table or list with:
+   - Bead ID
+   - PR URL
+   - Status (success / failed / blocked)
+   - Review summary
+   - Any failures or blockers encountered
+
+Example output:
+```
+## Parallel Beads Summary
+
+| Bead | PR | Bead Status | Review |
+|------|-----|-------------|--------|
+| beads-abc | #123 | in_review | Approved |
+| beads-xyz | #124 | in_review | Needs changes |
+| beads-123 | - | open (failed) | Blocked by missing dependency |
+
+### Failures/Blockers
+- beads-123: Could not complete because [reason]
+
+### Next Steps
+- Review PRs that need changes
+- Address blockers for failed beads
+- Run `/reconcile_beads` after PRs are merged to close beads
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- **Subagent failures**: If a subagent fails or times out, note it in the summary but continue with other beads
+- **PR creation failures**: Report the error but continue with reviews of successful PRs
+- **Worktree conflicts**: If a worktree already exists, ask the user if they want to remove it or skip that bead
+
+## Resource Limits
+
+- Consider limiting concurrent subagents to 3-5 to avoid overwhelming system resources
+- If user selects more beads than the limit, process them in batches
+
+## Notes
+
+- This workflow integrates with the beads system (`bd` commands)
+- Worktrees are created in `~/wt/[REPO_NAME]/` by convention
+- Each bead gets its own isolated branch and worktree
+- PRs automatically reference the bead ID for traceability

+description: Reconcile beads with merged PRs and close completed beads
+---
+
+# Reconcile Beads Workflow
+
+This skill reconciles beads that are in `in_review` status with their corresponding PRs. If a PR has been merged, the bead is closed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Custom status `in_review` must be configured: `bd config set status.custom "in_review"`
+- Beads in `in_review` status should have a PR URL in their notes
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Find beads in review
+
+```bash
+bd list --status=in_review
+```
+
+### Step 2: For each bead, check PR status
+
+1. **Get the PR URL from bead notes**:
+   ```bash
+   bd show [BEAD_ID] --json | jq -r '.notes'
+   ```
+   Extract the PR URL (look for lines starting with "PR:" or containing pull request URLs)
+
+2. **Detect hosting provider**:
+   - Run `git remote get-url origin`
+   - If URL contains `github.com`, use `gh`; otherwise use `tea` (Gitea/Forgejo)
+
+3. **Check PR status**:
+   - For GitHub:
+     ```bash
+     gh pr view [PR_NUMBER] --json state,merged
+     ```
+   - For Gitea:
+     ```bash
+     tea pr view [PR_NUMBER]
+     ```
+     Look for "State: merged" or "State: closed"
+
+### Step 3: Close merged beads
+
+If the PR is merged:
+```bash
+bd close [BEAD_ID] --reason="PR merged: [PR_URL]"
+```
+
+### Step 4: Report summary
+
+Present results:
+
+```
+## Beads Reconciliation Summary
+
+### Closed (PR Merged)
+| Bead | PR | Title |
+|------|-----|-------|
+| beads-abc | #123 | Feature X |
+| beads-xyz | #456 | Bug fix Y |
+
+### Still in Review
+| Bead | PR | Status | Title |
+|------|-----|--------|-------|
+| beads-def | #789 | Open | Feature Z |
+
+### Issues Found
+- beads-ghi: No PR URL found in notes
+- beads-jkl: PR #999 not found (may have been deleted)
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- **Missing PR URL**: Skip the bead and report it
+- **PR not found**: Report the error but continue with other beads
+- **API errors**: Report and continue
+
+## Notes
+
+- This skill complements `/parallel_beads` which sets beads to `in_review` status
+- Run this skill periodically or after merging PRs to keep beads in sync
+- Beads with closed (but not merged) PRs are not automatically closed - they may need rework
