Can I track dependencies across different epics?

Yes, this skill includes specific operational patterns for using 'bd dep add' to create links between tasks even when they belong to different project epics.

How does merging tasks prevent data loss?

The skill provides a specific pattern for manually reviewing and combining the 'design' and 'success criteria' sections of both tasks before closing the duplicate, ensuring no requirements are lost.

How do I see my team's velocity using this skill?

The skill provides CLI commands combining 'bd list' with filters and word counts to calculate how many tasks were closed within specific timeframes or per epic.

What is the 'bd' system mentioned in this skill?

'bd' (beads) is a task tracking system used within Claude Code to maintain a single source of truth for development tasks, requirements, and progress.

When should I split a task instead of just finishing it?

You should split a task mid-flight if it is significantly larger than originally estimated (e.g., over 8 hours) or involves multiple distinct implementation areas that can be tracked separately.

生産性とワークフロー

Manages complex task structures and project workflows using advanced beads (bd) operations.

概要

This skill empowers Claude to handle intricate project management scenarios within the beads (bd) ecosystem. It provides specialized patterns for splitting over-scoped tasks mid-flight, merging duplicate entries without data loss, and managing complex cross-epic dependencies. Ideal for developers needing to maintain an accurate, high-fidelity source of truth for their work, the skill also includes methods for querying velocity metrics and performing bulk status updates to keep project timelines on track.
