Can I sync it with my existing markdown files?

Yes, the skill includes specific scripts to extract tasks from tasks.md and specifications from spec.md, linking them directly to Beads IDs for automated tracking.

Does it support project management methodologies?

Yes, it is specifically designed to implement Pivotal-style workflows, using epics, story types (task/bug), and priority-based dependencies (P0, P1, P2).

What tools does this skill require?

The skill utilizes standard Claude Code tools including Bash, Read, Edit, and Grep to interact with the Beads CLI and your project's local files.

How does it prevent context loss?

It uses 'bd prime' commands automatically during session starts and before memory compaction to ensure the most critical task information is always present in Claude's active context.

What is Beads Integration for Claude Code?

It is a specialized skill that allows Claude to use a persistent task database (Beads) to track project progress, dependencies, and notes across multiple work sessions.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Manages persistent task memory and context preservation across Claude Code sessions using a graph-based tracking system.

Acerca de

This skill integrates Beads, a persistent task memory system, directly into the Claude Code environment to overcome context limits and session boundaries. It allows developers to maintain a consistent task graph with dependencies, track implementation discoveries, and preserve vital context during memory compaction or session restarts. By syncing with Spec Kit's planning documents, it automates the transition from high-level specifications to actionable, tracked tasks, ensuring that long-running projects remain organized and progress is never lost between AI interactions.

Características Principales

Automatic context priming via SessionStart and PreCompact hooks to maintain continuity.
Bidirectional syncing between markdown planning files and the Beads database.
Pivotal-style workflow implementation including epics, story types, and blocking dependencies.
Persistent task graph management that survives context limits and session boundaries.
Discovery tracking to capture and preserve technical insights and implementation decisions.
2 GitHub stars

Casos de Uso

Managing state and progress during multi-day software feature development cycles.
Synchronizing local tasks.md files with a structured CLI-based project management system.
Preventing context loss during long sessions that trigger AI memory compaction.
