What is the Beads workflow system?

Beads is a specialized framework within the cc-polymath repository designed to manage context and task state efficiently across multiple AI coding sessions.

Can I use this for existing project documentation?

Yes, the project-synthesis sub-skill is specifically designed to gather scattered plans and docs into a unified, actionable roadmap.

When does this skill activate automatically?

It activates whenever you mention keywords related to project management, such as 'roadmap', 'synthesis', 'dependency', 'multi-session', or 'workflow'.

How does the progressive loading feature work?

It loads a lightweight gateway first and only imports detailed skill sets (like dependency management or context strategies) when specifically needed, keeping your AI's context window clean.

Productivity & Workflow

Automatically discovers and loads specialized task management and context-efficiency skills for the Beads development workflow.

About

This skill acts as an intelligent gateway for the Beads workflow system within Claude Code, designed to optimize context usage and task coordination. It automatically activates during complex development phases such as multi-session planning, project synthesis, and dependency management, providing a tiered approach to loading specialized sub-skills. By utilizing progressive loading, it ensures that Claude remains context-efficient while offering deep expertise in consolidating scattered documentation, managing long-term roadmaps, and maintaining state across asynchronous coding sessions.

Key Features

Automatic activation based on task-specific workflow triggers
Advanced project synthesis for consolidating plans and docs
Integrated multi-session coordination and state management
57 GitHub stars
Progressive loading architecture for maximum context efficiency
Streamlined access to dependency tracking and cleanup tools

Use Cases

Consolidating scattered project documentation and tests into a unified roadmap
Optimizing context retention during large-scale refactoring or feature development
Managing complex task dependencies across multiple Claude Code sessions
