Does this skill help with dependency management?

Absolutely. It maps parent-child relationships between epics, features, and stories, and can explicitly flag blocked or blocking tasks within Beads.

What is the 5-question refinement methodology?

It is a strict enforcement process that probes for missing requirements, edge cases, stakeholders, technical constraints, and business rules to ensure specifications are complete before development starts.

Can I use my own templates with this skill?

While it comes with a built-in library, you can provide context or existing scenarios for the AI to use as a baseline for new specifications.

How does the Beads integration handle large epics?

The skill supports batch processing for epics with 20+ stories, allowing for progress tracking, pausing, and resuming via persistent memory.

Can I export the generated BDD specs to my project files?

Yes, the skill can export Gherkin specifications directly to .feature files in your local repository upon request.

Collaboration Tools

Streamlines project planning by generating Gherkin-style BDD specifications and managing Beads issues through a rigorous 5-question refinement methodology.

The BDD Beads Planner skill transforms high-level project ideas into actionable, well-defined development tasks. It enforces a strict completeness-focused review process—the 5-question refinement—ensuring that epics, features, and stories account for edge cases, constraints, and stakeholder needs before implementation begins. By automating the generation of declarative Gherkin scenarios and integrating directly with Beads for issue management and dependency tracking, this skill bridges the gap between product requirements and technical execution. It also features a persistent memory system via mem0, allowing users to pause and resume complex, multi-stage planning sessions across different conversations.
