SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It streamlines setting up a multi-agent Claude Code workflow by bootstrapping Beads-based task tracking, isolated worktrees, and workflow-enforcing hooks so agents can collaborate safely without heavy MCP overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates a Beads + worktree-per-task workflow: each bead maps to an isolated worktree under .worktrees/bd-{BEAD_ID}/ to keep main clean and enable parallel implementation.
  • Bootstraps Claude Code agents and hooks: installs and configures the project’s orchestration scaffolding, including agent templates and discipline/validation hooks.
  • Detects and integrates Beads Kanban UI (optional): configures worktree management via API when bead-kanban is available, otherwise falls back to git worktrees.
  • Runs discovery after restart: ensures tech stack detection and supervisor creation happen only after hooks/MCP config are loaded.

Quick Start

Run /create-beads-orchestration in Claude Code, answer the project directory/name and provider choice questions, then restart Claude Code when the skill instructs you to continue setup afterward.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up multi-agent orchestration in Claude Code?▼

Multi-agent orchestration in Claude Code is set up by initializing Beads task tracking, a worktree-per-task workflow, and hook-based enforcement to let agents collaborate safely without heavy MCP overhead.

How do git worktrees work with task tracking for parallel execution?▼

Git worktrees isolate parallel execution by mapping each task bead to a dedicated worktree under .worktrees/bd-{BEAD_ID}/, keeping the main branch clean while multiple agents implement tasks simultaneously.

What is the best way to bootstrap a worktree-per-task workflow for AI agents?▼

The best way is to run a bootstrap skill that installs orchestration scaffolding, agent templates, and discipline hooks, then restart Claude Code to load configurations before executing discovery agents.

Do I need the Beads Kanban UI to manage multi-agent worktrees?▼

No, the Beads Kanban UI is optional; the workflow detects and integrates it for worktree management via API if available, otherwise it automatically falls back to standard git worktrees.

Why does my Claude Code orchestration setup require a restart?▼

A mandatory restart is required to ensure hooks and MCP configurations are fully loaded before running discovery agents to detect your tech stack and create supervisors in .claude/agents/.

Can I use this orchestration setup for an existing project with active agents?▼

No, this setup applies to fresh project initialization where an orchestrator delegates to core agents, establishing the worktree and hook scaffolding before any implementation tasks begin.
