What is a 'bead' in this context?

A bead is a specific unit of work or task defined in a structured BEADS.md file, which is part of a specialized project planning format used by the bd issue tracker.

How does the skill handle task dependencies?

The skill parses symbolic IDs from your markdown, maps them to the actual IDs generated by the bd tracker, and runs dependency commands to link tasks correctly.

What happens if my BEADS.md file has the wrong format?

The skill includes a validation step that checks for the correct H2 header format and required sections, alerting you to schema errors before creation starts.

Which skills should be used before create-beads?

Ideally, you should use /write-beads to generate the plan file and /bead-review to ensure the tasks and dependencies are accurate before importing.

Will this create duplicate tasks if I run it twice?

No, the skill includes a safety check that looks for existing beads with the same project label and asks for confirmation before proceeding.
