What problem does it solve? Built-in agent todo lists vanish between sessions and cannot be shared across agent runtimes or observed by supervisors. This Skill installs and operates the bd (beads) CLI as a persistent, git-backed source of truth for implementation plans, tasks, dependencies, and progress. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plan and task registration: Translates spec-management intent (implementation plans, tasks, origin refs, spec tags) into concrete bd commands, creating epics with --external-ref and child tasks with spec: labels. - Dependency-aware work selection: Uses bd ready and bd blocked to surface truly claimable work, claim tasks atomically, and close or abandon them with queryable reasons. - Escalation and fallback: Defines an abandon-and-escalate protocol back to spec-management, plus a JSONL/Markdown ledger fallback when bd cannot be installed. - Use Case: A SPEC comes up for implementation — the Skill bootstraps bd, creates an epic linked via origin ref, ingests a superpowers plan file with scripts/ingest-plan.py, wires sequential task dependencies, and keeps status visible to external observers. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a tracked implementation plan for SPEC-003 and show what work is ready to claim next.
