What I do
- Plan and organize tasks using beads distributed task management system
- Create hierarchical task structures with dependency tracking
- Generate beads-ready task files with proper JSONL format
- Integrate with existing project planning outputs (PRDs, features, user stories)
- Setup beads workflow for team collaboration and agent automation
When to use me
Use when you need to:
- Convert user stories and features into beads task structure
- Set up distributed task management for multi-agent workflows
- Create dependency-aware task planning with git backing
- Replace messy markdown TODOs with structured bead tasks
- Plan long-horizon projects with proper task tracking
How I work
- Input Analysis - Parse existing PRDs, feature breakdowns, and user stories
- Task Hierarchy - Create bead-style task structure with proper IDs
- Dependency Mapping - Establish task dependencies and blockers
- Beads Setup - Generate
.beads/ directory structure and initial tasks
- Integration Configuration - Setup beads workflow for your project type
- Team Workflow - Configure beads for multi-agent and human collaboration
What I need
- Feature breakdown or user stories (from feature-mapping skill)
- Project timeline and milestone information
- Team size and composition details
- Existing beads setup or desire to initialize new one
- Project type and complexity level
What I produce
A complete beads task management setup containing:
- Beads Initialization -
.beads/ directory with proper structure
- Task Creation - Tasks in bead format with hierarchical IDs (bd-xxxx)
- Dependency Graph - Task dependencies and blocking relationships
- Priority Assignment - P0-P3 priority levels with proper weighting
- Workflow Configuration - Beads daemon and sync settings
- Team Integration - Multi-agent and human collaboration setup
- Git Integration - Branching and merging strategies for task management
Usage Example
"Convert our mobile app user stories into beads task management with proper dependencies"
This will generate a complete beads setup with tasks, dependencies, and team workflow configuration for distributed task management.
Beads Integration Features
- Git-Backed Persistence - Tasks versioned with your code
- Conflict Prevention - Hash-based IDs prevent merge collisions
- Agent Optimization - JSON output ready for AI agent consumption
- Hierarchical Structure - Epics → Tasks → Sub-tasks with bead IDs
- Dependency Awareness - Automatic blocker detection and ready task listing
- Stealth Mode - Option for local use without committing to main repo
