# Beads - AI-Native Issue Tracking
2+
3+
Welcome to Beads! This repository uses **Beads** for issue tracking - a modern, AI-native tool designed to live directly in your codebase alongside your code.
4+
5+
## What is Beads?
6+
7+
Beads is issue tracking that lives in your repo, making it perfect for AI coding agents and developers who want their issues close to their code. No web UI required - everything works through the CLI and integrates seamlessly with git.
8+
9+
**Learn more:** [github.com/steveyegge/beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads)
10+
11+
## Quick Start
12+
13+
### Essential Commands
14+
15+
```bash
16+
# Create new issues
17+
bd create "Add user authentication"
18+
19+
# View all issues
20+
bd list
21+
22+
# View issue details
23+
bd show <issue-id>
24+
25+
# Update issue status
26+
bd update <issue-id> --status in_progress
27+
bd update <issue-id> --status done
28+
29+
# Sync with git remote
30+
bd sync
31+
```
32+
33+
### Working with Issues
34+
35+
Issues in Beads are:
36+
- **Git-native**: Stored in `.beads/issues.jsonl` and synced like code
37+
- **AI-friendly**: CLI-first design works perfectly with AI coding agents
38+
- **Branch-aware**: Issues can follow your branch workflow
39+
- **Always in sync**: Auto-syncs with your commits
40+
41+
## Why Beads?
42+
43+
**AI-Native Design**
44+
- Built specifically for AI-assisted development workflows
45+
- CLI-first interface works seamlessly with AI coding agents
46+
- No context switching to web UIs
47+
48+
🚀 **Developer Focused**
49+
- Issues live in your repo, right next to your code
50+
- Works offline, syncs when you push
51+
- Fast, lightweight, and stays out of your way
52+
53+
🔧 **Git Integration**
54+
- Automatic sync with git commits
55+
- Branch-aware issue tracking
56+
- Intelligent JSONL merge resolution
57+
58+

# Beads Configuration File
2+
# This file configures default behavior for all bd commands in this repository
3+
# All settings can also be set via environment variables (BD_* prefix)
4+
# or overridden with command-line flags
5+
6+
# Issue prefix for this repository (used by bd init)
7+
# If not set, bd init will auto-detect from directory name
8+
# Example: issue-prefix: "myproject" creates issues like "myproject-1", "myproject-2", etc.
9+
# issue-prefix: ""
10+
11+
# Use no-db mode: load from JSONL, no SQLite, write back after each command
12+
# When true, bd will use .beads/issues.jsonl as the source of truth
13+
# instead of SQLite database
14+
# no-db: false

# Disable auto-flush of database to JSONL after mutations

# Git branch for beads commits (bd sync will commit to this branch)
41+
# IMPORTANT: Set this for team projects so all clones use the same sync branch.
42+
# This setting persists across clones (unlike database config which is gitignored).

# Agent Instructions
2+
3+
This project uses **bd** (beads) for issue tracking. Run `bd onboard` to get started.
4+
5+
## Quick Reference
6+
7+
```bash
8+
bd ready # Find available work
9+
bd show <id> # View issue details
10+
bd update <id> --status in_progress # Claim work
11+
bd close <id> # Complete work
12+
bd sync # Sync with git
13+
```
14+
15+
## Landing the Plane (Session Completion)
16+
17+
**When ending a work session**, you MUST complete ALL steps below. Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds.
18+
19+
**MANDATORY WORKFLOW:**
20+
21+
1. **File issues for remaining work** - Create issues for anything that needs follow-up
22+
2. **Run quality gates** (if code changed) - Tests, linters, builds
23+
3. **Update issue status** - Close finished work, update in-progress items
24+
4. **PUSH TO REMOTE** - This is MANDATORY:
25+
```bash
26+
git pull --rebase
27+
bd sync
28+
git push
29+
git status # MUST show "up to date with origin"
30+
```
31+
5. **Clean up** - Clear stashes, prune remote branches
32+
6. **Verify** - All changes committed AND pushed
33+
7. **Hand off** - Provide context for next session
34+
35+
**CRITICAL RULES:**
36+
- Work is NOT complete until `git push` succeeds
37+
- NEVER stop before pushing - that leaves work stranded locally
38+
- NEVER say "ready to push when you are" - YOU must push
39+
- If push fails, resolve and retry until it succeeds
40+
