Trigger when the user asks to find ready work, claim or close tasks, create follow-up work, inspect blockers, recover project context, or choose between local planning and persistent project tracking.</h2>\n<h1>Beads</h1>\n<p>Use Beads as the shared project task system. Local plans, scratch files, and personal memories are useful, but they are not the durable source of truth for project work.</p>\n<h2>First Step</h2>\n<p>Run:</p>\n<pre><code>bd prime\n</code></pre>\n<p>If that prints nothing, check whether the repository has an active Beads workspace:</p>\n<pre><code>bd where\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Preferred Route</h2>\n<p>Use the <code>bd</code> CLI when shell access is available. It is the most compact and direct Beads interface.</p>\n<h2>Core CLI Workflow</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Find work:</li>\n</ol>\n<pre><code>bd ready\nbd list --status=open\nbd list --status=in_progress\n</code></pre>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Inspect before editing:</li>\n</ol>\n<pre><code>bd show &lt;id&gt;\n</code></pre>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Claim work atomically:</li>\n</ol>\n<pre><code>bd update &lt;id&gt; --claim\n</code></pre>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Create durable follow-up work when implementation reveals new tasks:</li>\n</ol>\n<pre><code>bd create \"Short title\" --description=\"Why this exists and what needs to be done\" --type=task --priority=2\n</code></pre>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>Close completed work:</li>\n</ol>\n<pre><code>bd close &lt;id&gt; --reason=\"Completed\"\n</code></pre>\n<h2>What Belongs In Beads</h2>\n<p>Use Beads for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>shared project tasks</li>\n<li>blockers and dependencies</li>\n<li>discovered follow-up work</li>\n<li>work that must survive thread reset, compaction, or handoff</li>\n<li>status that another person or agent should be able to resume</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Use agent-local planning tools only for the current turn's execution checklist. Do not treat them as shared project state.</p>\n<h2>Rules</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not create markdown TODO files as the source of truth when Beads is available.</li>\n<li>Do not use <code>bd edit</code>; it opens an interactive editor. Use <code>bd update</code> flags instead.</li>\n<li>Prefer <code>--json</code> when parsing <code>bd</code> output programmatically.</li>\n<li>If hooks are installed, <code>bd prime</code> may already be injected. Run it manually when context is missing.</li>\n<li>Do not auto-close or mutate tasks unless the work is actually complete.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"agents/openai.yaml","sizeBytes":175,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":2146,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
