System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Beads provides a command-line interface to manage tasks and epics with strict dependency tracking, ensuring work happens in the correct order and progress is visible in Git.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-driven execution: bd ready surfaces only unblocked tasks, enabling teams to pick work with certainty.
  • Bottom-up enforcement: Entities → Repositories → Services → Routers to preserve architectural discipline.
  • Git-backed persistence: .beads/beads.jsonl records all tasks, statuses, and history across sessions.
  • Spec integration: /spec:plan creates epics and ordered tasks to drive spec-driven development.

Quick Start

Create your first Beads epic and tasks using /spec:plan feature to initialize a spec-driven workflow.
