What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the setup of a robust issue tracking system using 'beads' and 'dolt' for new repositories, ensuring data persistence and version control for issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initialize Issue Tracking: Sets up 'beads' for managing project issues.
  • Dolt Persistence: Integrates 'dolt' for version-controlled issue data, enabling SQL querying and Git-like history.
  • Configurable Hooks: Allows for optional Git hooks to manage issue staging.
  • Stealth Mode: Enables invisible issue tracking for personal use without affecting collaborators.
  • Use Case: When starting a new software project, use this Skill to quickly set up a reliable and version-controlled system for tracking bugs, features, and tasks.

Quick Start

Initialize beads issue tracking in a project with dolt database persistence using the command bd init --skip-hooks -p <prefix> -q.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize issue tracking with dolt database persistence in a new repository?▼

To initialize issue tracking with dolt persistence, run the command `bd init --skip-hooks -p <prefix> -q` in your project directory. This sets up beads issue tracking and configures dolt for version-controlled issue data.

What is stealth mode for invisible issue tracking in git repositories?▼

Stealth mode enables invisible issue tracking for personal use within a git repository without affecting collaborators. It allows you to track bugs and tasks locally using beads while keeping the issue data hidden from the shared project.

Can I use git hooks to manage issue staging automatically?▼

Yes, configurable git hooks can be set up during initialization to manage issue staging automatically. If you prefer to skip this configuration, the `--skip-hooks` flag bypasses hook setup entirely.

Why use dolt for version-controlled issue data instead of standard issue trackers?▼

Using dolt for version-controlled issue data provides SQL querying capabilities and Git-like history for your project issues. This integration with beads enables robust data persistence, backup, and replication compared to standard file-based tracking.

Do I need dolt installed to set up beads issue tracking for my project?▼

Yes, dolt is required as the persistence layer to store and version your issue data. The skill initializes beads to integrate directly with dolt, enabling SQL querying and Git-like history for your repository's issues.
