bd (Beads) Skill

This skill covers using bd for issue tracking and backlog management.

Run bd onboard to get started.

Core Principle: The Backlog Is Everything

Every task MUST be a bd issue. No exceptions.

Why Everything Goes Through bd

• Visibility: The human can see all planned and in-progress work
• Context Management: Subagents get focused, scoped tasks instead of sprawling conversations
• Continuity: If a session ends, the backlog preserves state
• Auditability: Every change traces back to an issue
