+ **Give your coding agent a memory upgrade**
7
+
8
+ Beads is a lightweight memory system for coding agents, using a graph-based issue tracker. This npm package provides easy installation of the native bd binary for Node.js environments, including Claude Code for Web.
9
+
10
+ ## Installation
11
+
12
+ ```bash
13
+ npm install -g @beads/bd
14
+ ```
15
+
16
+ Or as a project dependency:
17
+
18
+ ```bash
19
+ npm install --save-dev @beads/bd
20
+ ```
21
+
22
+ ## What is Beads?
23
+
24
+ Beads is an issue tracker designed specifically for AI coding agents. It provides:
25
+
26
+ - ✨ **Zero setup** - `bd init` creates project-local database
27
+ - 🔗 **Dependency tracking** - Four dependency types (blocks, related, parent-child, discovered-from)
28
+ - 📋 **Ready work detection** - Automatically finds issues with no open blockers
29
+ - 🤖 **Agent-friendly** - `--json` flags for programmatic integration
30
+ - 📦 **Git-versioned** - JSONL records stored in git, synced across machines
31
+ - 🌍 **Distributed by design** - Share one logical database via git
32
+
33
+ ## Quick Start
34
+
35
+ After installation, initialize beads in your project:
36
+
37
+ ```bash
38
+ bd init
39
+ ```
40
+
41
+ Then tell your AI agent to use bd for task tracking instead of markdown:
42
+
43
+ ```bash
44
+ echo "Use 'bd' commands for issue tracking instead of markdown TODOs" >> AGENTS.md
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ Your agent will automatically:
48
+ - Create and track issues during work
49
+ - Manage dependencies between tasks
50
+ - Find ready work with `bd ready`
51
+ - Keep long-term context across sessions
52
+
53
+ ## Common Commands
54
+
55
+ ```bash
56
+ # Find ready work
57
+ bd ready --json
58
+
59
+ # Create an issue
60
+ bd create "Fix bug" -t bug -p 1
61
+
62
+ # Show issue details
63
+ bd show bd-a1b2
64
+
65
+ # List all issues
66
+ bd list --json
67
+
68
+ # Update status
69
+ bd update bd-a1b2 --status in_progress
70
+
71
+ # Add dependency
72
+ bd dep add bd-f14c bd-a1b2
73
+
74
+ # Close issue
75
+ bd close bd-a1b2 --reason "Fixed"
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ ## Claude Code for Web Integration
79
+
80
+ To auto-install bd in Claude Code for Web sessions, add to your SessionStart hook:
81
+
82
+ ```bash
83
+ # .claude/hooks/session-start.sh
84
+ npm install -g @beads/bd
85
+ bd init --quiet
86
+ ```
87
+
88
+ This ensures bd is available in every new session without manual setup.
89
+
90
+ ## Platform Support

108
+ ## Why npm Package vs WASM?
109
+
110
+ This npm package wraps the native bd binary rather than using WebAssembly because:
111
+
112
+ - ✅ Full SQLite support (no custom VFS needed)
113
+ - ✅ All features work identically to native bd
114
+ - ✅ Better performance (native vs WASM overhead)
115
+ - ✅ Simpler maintenance
