1 Skill 0 MCPs

Purpose

To provide a persistent and context-aware task management system for AI agents, enabling complex, multi-session coding workflows.

Features

AI-supervised issue tracking
Task and dependency management
Context persistence across compactions
Integration with `bd` CLI
Lifecycle hooks for context refresh

Use Cases

Managing multi-session coding tasks
Tracking complex work with blockers
Recovering context after conversation compaction
Discovering and filing follow-up tasks

Non-Goals

Replacing a full project management suite
Handling tasks within a single, ephemeral session
Directly managing code repositories (delegated to `bd` CLI)

Documentation

info:Configuration & parameter referenceWhile the `bd prime` command is mentioned, its parameters and precedence are not explicitly documented in the README.

Install

info:Installation instructionInstallation instructions are present in the README, but specific copy-paste invocation examples for the plugin itself are sparse, relying on `bd` CLI examples.

Invocation

info:Hook matcher tightnessSome hooks, like `SessionStart`, have an empty matcher, potentially applying to all relevant events rather than specific ones.

Beads Skill

Dolt-powered issue tracker for multi-session work with dependencies and persistent memory across conversation compaction. Use when work spans sessions, has blockers, or needs context recovery after compaction. Trigger with "create task", "what's ready", "track this work", "resume after compaction". Make sure to use this skill whenever managing multi-session work, tracking dependencies, or recovering context.
