Beads Create

Use this skill to create Beads from a plan/spec and do the review pass so implementers can just pick up issues and ship. This skill must work with either classic Beads (bd) or beads_rust (br).

Workflow

  1. Resolve the tracker first

    • If the user explicitly says bd, br, beads, or beads_rust, obey that.
    • Otherwise detect what is actually installed:
      • If only br is installed, use br.
      • If only bd is installed, use bd.
      • If both are installed, prefer the tracker that already owns the current workspace/history. Check the local .beads/ state and the existing workflow docs before guessing.
      • If both are installed and the workspace is still ambiguous, ask one targeted question instead of winging it.
    • Do not mix commands from both trackers in the same run.
  2. Load the right local guidance if needed

    • Look for a loaded local skill on the user's machine that covers the chosen tracker and use that first.
    • For bd, prefer the local beads skill if it is available.
    • For br, prefer any loaded local br, beads_rust, or equivalent tracker skill if it is available.
