Can I use bd to track dependencies between issues?

Yes, the skill supports adding and removing dependencies, allowing you to visualize blockers and use the 'bd ready' command to see which tasks are unblocked.

How does bd differ from standard TODO comments?

Unlike TODOs, bd provides persistent tracking across sessions, formal priorities, issue types, and complex dependency mapping that doesn't clutter the source code directly.

Where are the issues stored?

Issues are stored locally within a `.beads/` directory in your repository, making them easy to version control and sync via Git.

What priority system does this skill use?

It uses a numeric scale from 0 to 4 (P0-P4), where P0 represents critical blockers and P4 represents items in the project backlog.
