Agent Skills: Initialize Beads (bd)

Initialize Beads (bd)

Set up beads issue tracking in this repository.

Steps

1. Initialize beads:

   bd init
   

   This creates .beads/ directory with project database.

2. Install git hooks (auto-sync on commit):

   bd hooks install
   

3. Add to agent instructions (CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md):

   If CLAUDE.md exists, append to it. Otherwise create AGENTS.md.

   Add this snippet:

   ## Issue Tracking
   
   This project uses **bd (beads)** for issue tracking.
   Run `bd prime` for workflow context, or install hooks (`bd hooks install`) for auto-injection.
   
   **Quick reference:**
   - `bd ready` - Find unblocked work
   - `bd create "Title" --type task --priority 2` - Create issue
   - `bd close <id>` - Complete work
   - `bd sync` - Sync with git (run at session end)
   
   For full workflow details: `bd prime`
   

4. Verify setup:

   bd doctor
   

5. Summary: Report what was created and next steps.
