Beads Viewer
Overview
Beads Viewer (BV) is a graph-aware triage engine for Beads projects (.beads/beads.jsonl). It computes 9 graph metrics, generates execution plans, and provides deterministic recommendations.
When to use: Triaging beads tasks, analyzing dependency graphs, finding bottlenecks, detecting circular dependencies, planning parallel execution tracks, generating sprint burndown data, comparing historical project states.
When NOT to use: Parsing raw beads.jsonl directly (BV pre-computes graph metrics), simple bead CRUD operations (use bd CLI instead), projects without .beads/beads.jsonl.
| Capability | Raw beads.jsonl | BV Robot Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Query | "List all issues" | "List the top 5 bottlenecks blocking the release" |
| Context Cost | High (linear with issue count) | Low (fixed summary struct) |
| Graph Logic | Agent must compute | Pre-computed (PageRank, betweenness, cycles) |
| Safety | Agent might miss cycles | Cycles explicitly flagged |
