-
8
- Based on Steve Yegge's best practices and official beads documentation.
9
-
10
- ## Core Principles
11
-
12
- | Principle | Why | How |
13
- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
14
- | One task per session | Fresh context prevents confusion | Restart after `br close` |
15
- | Plan outside beads first | Better planning tools exist | Use `/brainstorm` → `/plan` → import |
16
- | File lots of issues | Track any work >2 minutes | `br create` liberally |
17
- | "Land the plane" = PUSH | `br sync --flush-only` means git push | Always verify push succeeded |
18
- | Keep DB small | Performance degrades >500 issues | `br cleanup --days 7` weekly |
19
-
20
- ## Hierarchy Model: Epic → Task → Subtask
21
-
22
- ### Hierarchy Levels
23
-
24
- ```
25
- Epic (feature-level)
26
- ├── Task 1 (domain or phase)
27
- │ ├── Subtask 1.1 (atomic work unit)
28
- │ └── Subtask 1.2
29
- ├── Task 2 (blocked by Task 1)
30
- │ └── Subtask 2.1
31
- └── Task 3 (blocked by Task 2)
32
- ```
33
-
34
- | Level | Scope | Duration | Agent Work |
35
- | ------- | ------------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------- |
36
- | Epic | Full feature | Days-weeks | Coordinate, delegate, not implement |
37
- | Task | Domain/phase | Hours-day | May implement or delegate to subtasks |
38
- | Subtask | Atomic unit | 30min-2hrs | Implement directly |
39
-
40
- ### Size Estimation
41
-
42
- | Size | Tool Calls | Hierarchy Level | Session Scope |
43
- | ---- | ---------- | ------------------ | ----------------- |
44
- | S | ~10 | Subtask | Quick fix |
45
- | M | ~30 | Task | Single session |
46
- | L | ~100 | Task with subtasks | Single session |
47
- | XL | 100+ | Epic required | Multiple sessions |
48
-
49
- ### Creating Hierarchy
50
-
51
- ```bash
52
- # Create epic
53
- br create "User Authentication" -t epic -p 2
54
- # Returns: bd-epic
55
-
56
- # Create tasks with dependencies
57
- br create "Setup database schema" -t task -p 2

-
60
- br create "Implement API endpoints" -t task -p 2
61
- br dep add bd-xxx2 bd-epic
62
- br dep add bd-xxx2 bd-xxx1 --type blocks # Sequential
63
-
64
- # Create subtasks for complex tasks

- ## Git Worktree Integration
77
-
78
- ### When to Use Worktrees
79
-
80
- | Scenario | Use Worktree | Why |
81
- | ---------------------------- | ------------ | -------------------------- |
82
- | Epic-level work | ✅ Yes | Multi-session isolation |
83
- | Parallel feature development | ✅ Yes | No context switching |
84
- | Long-running experiments | ✅ Yes | Keep main workspace clean |
85
- | Single task (S/M) | ❌ No | Branch is sufficient |
86
- | Hotfix/quick-build | ❌ No | Overkill for small changes |
87
-
88
- ### Worktree Setup
89
-
90
- ```bash
91
- # Verify .gitignore
92
- grep -q "^\.worktrees/$" .gitignore || echo ".worktrees/" >> .gitignore
93
-
94
- # Create worktree for feature
95
- git worktree add .worktrees/bd-xxx -b feature/auth
96
-
97
- # Navigate and setup
98
- cd .worktrees/bd-xxx
99
- npm install # or project-specific setup
100
-
101
- # Verify clean baseline
102
- npm test
103
- ```
104
-
105
- ### Beads + Worktree Architecture
106
-
107
- ```
108
- main-repo/
109
- ├── .beads/ ← Shared database (all worktrees use this)
110
- ├── .worktrees/
111
- │ ├── feature-a/ ← Worktree 1
112
- │ │ └── (working copy)
113
- │ └── feature-b/ ← Worktree 2
114
- │ └── (working copy)
115
- └── src/ ← Main working copy
116
- ```
117
-
118
- **Key insight:** `.beads/` is shared. All worktrees access the same database.
119
-
120
- ### Worktree Daemon Behavior
121
-
122
- | Mode | Configuration | Use When |
123
- | ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------ |
124
- | Default | Daemon auto-disabled in worktrees | Most cases |
125
- | Sync branch | `br config set sync-branch beads-sync` | Full daemon in worktrees |
126
- | External DB | `export BEADS_DIR=~/project/.beads` | Complete separation |
127
- | Sandbox | `br --sandbox` or `BEADS_NO_DAEMON=1` | Claude Code, containers |
128
-
129
- ### Worktree Cleanup
130
-
131
- ```bash
132
- # When feature complete
133
- cd /main-repo
134
- git worktree remove .worktrees/feature-a
135
-
136
- # Or force if dirty
137
- git worktree remove --force .worktrees/feature-a
138
-
139
- # Clean orphaned worktrees
140
- git worktree prune
141
- ```
142
-
143
- ## Subagent Delegation Patterns
144
-
145
- ### Agent Hierarchy
146
-
147
- ```
148
- Leader Agents (touch beads, sync, coordinate)
149
- ├── build - Primary implementation agent
150
- └── plan - Architecture and planning agent
151
-
152
- Subagents (read-only, stateless workers)
153
- ├── general - Fast, well-defined tasks
154
- ├── explore - Codebase search, patterns
155
- ├── scout - External docs, best practices
156
- ├── review - Code review, debugging
157
- └── vision - UI/UX, visual analysis
158
- ```
159
-
160
- ### Delegation Rules
161
-
162
- | Agent | Can Do | Cannot Do |
163
- | --------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------- |
164
- | `build` | All beads ops, `br sync --flush-only` | - |
165
- | `plan` | All beads ops, `br sync --flush-only` | - |
166
- | `general` | Read, small edits | `br sync --flush-only`, beads write |
167
- | `explore` | Read, grep, glob | Edit, write, `br sync --flush-only` |
168
- | `scout` | Fetch, search, Context7 | Edit, write, `br sync --flush-only` |
169
- | `plan` | Read, create artifacts | Edit files, `br sync --flush-only` |
170
- | `review` | Read, analyze, suggest | Edit files, `br sync --flush-only` |
171
- | `vision` | Analyze images, mockups | All beads operations |
172
-
173
- ### Parallel Research Pattern
174
-
175
- Fire subagents in parallel, continue working immediately:
176
-
177
- ```typescript
178
- // Launch both - don't wait
179
- Task({
180
- subagent_type: "explore",
181
- prompt: `Find codebase patterns for [task]:
182
- - Similar implementations
183
- - Test patterns
184
- - Affected files
185
- Return: File paths, patterns, test approach`,
186
- description: "Explore codebase",
187
- });
188
-
189
- Task({
190
- subagent_type: "scout",
191
- prompt: `Research best practices for [task]:
192
- - Official documentation
193
- - Common patterns
194
- - Pitfalls to avoid
195
- Return: Examples, warnings, recommendations`,
196
- description: "Scout external docs",
197
- });
198
-
199
- // Continue working immediately
200
- // Collect results when needed
201
- ```
202
-
203
- ### When to Delegate
204
-
205
- | Situation | Delegate To | Why |
206
- | ------------------------ | ----------- | -------------------------- |
207
- | Need codebase patterns | `@explore` | Fast grep/glob |
208
- | Need library docs | `@scout` | Context7, GitHub patterns |
209
- | Complex planning | `@plan` | Structured decomposition |
210
- | Code review before merge | `@review` | Fresh eyes, evidence-based |
211
- | UI/mockup analysis | `@vision` | Visual expertise |
212
- | Stuck on implementation | `@explore` | Fresh search perspective |
213
-
214
- ## Maintenance Schedule
215
-
216
- | Task | Frequency | Command | Why |
217
- | ------------ | -------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
218
- | Health check | Weekly | `br doctor --fix` | Repairs orphaned issues, sync problems |
219
- | Cleanup | Every few days | `br cleanup --days 7` | Keep DB under 200-500 issues |
220
- | Upgrade | Weekly | `br upgrade` | Latest features and fixes |
221
- | Git hooks | Once per repo | `br hooks install` | Auto-sync on commit/merge/checkout |
222
-
223
- ## Command Configuration Best Practices
224
-
225
- Based on [OpenCode Command Docs](https://opencode.ai/docs/commands/).
226
-
227
- ### Frontmatter Options
228
-
229
- ```yaml
230
- ---
231
- description: Short description shown in TUI command list
232
- argument-hint: "<required> [optional] [--flag]"
233
- agent: build | plan | scout | explore | review | vision
234
- subtask: true # Run as subagent (doesn't pollute primary context)
235
- model: gemini-2.5-pro # Override default model
236
- ---
237
- ```
238
-
239
- ### Prompt Syntax
240
-
241
- | Syntax | Purpose | Example |
242
- | ------------ | ------------------------ | ----------------------------- |
243
- | `$ARGUMENTS` | All arguments as string | `/fix $ARGUMENTS` |
244
- | `$1`, `$2` | Positional arguments | `/start $1` → `/start bd-abc` |
245
- | `!`command`` | Inject shell output | `!`git status`` |
246
- | `@filepath` | Include file content | `@src/config.ts` |
247
- | `$SELECTION` | Current editor selection | For IDE integrations |
248
-
249
- ### When to Use `subtask: true`
250
-
251
- **Use subtask for research/analysis** - prevents context pollution in primary agent:
252
-
253
- | Command Type | `subtask: true`? | Why |
254
- | ------------------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------------------ |
255
- | Research/exploration | ✅ Yes | Heavy reads, doesn't need to persist |
256
- | Code review/analysis | ✅ Yes | Analysis output, not implementation |
257
- | UI/UX analysis | ✅ Yes | Design feedback, not code changes |
258
- | Status/dashboard | ✅ Yes | Read-only information gathering |
259
- | Implementation | ❌ No | Needs full context for edits |
260
- | Lifecycle (start/finish) | ❌ No | Coordinates state, needs persistence |
261
- | Generation (artifacts) | ❌ No | Creates files that need tracking |
262
-
263
- ### Commands by Category

- ## Workflow Patterns
343
-
344
- ### Pattern 1: Standard Task (S/M size)
345
-
346
- ```
347
- /triage --quick # Find ready work
348
- /start bd-xxx # Claim task, create branch
349
- /implement bd-xxx # Do the work
350
- /finish bd-xxx # Verify, commit (asks first), close
351
- /pr bd-xxx # Create PR (asks first)
352
- ```
353
-
354
- ### Pattern 2: Complex Feature with Worktree (L/XL size)
355
-
356
- ```
357
- /triage # Full triage with health check
358
- /new-feature "Feature" --worktree # Creates epic + subtasks + worktree
359
- cd .worktrees/bd-epic # Enter worktree
360
- /start bd-xxx.1 # Start first task
361
- /implement bd-xxx.1 # Implement
362
- /finish bd-xxx.1 # Complete task
363
- /start bd-xxx.2 # Next task (now unblocked)
364
- /implement bd-xxx.2 # Continue...
365
- /finish bd-xxx.2 # Complete
366
- ...
367
- /finish bd-epic # Close epic when all tasks done
368
- git worktree remove .worktrees/bd-epic # Cleanup worktree
369
- ```
370
-
371
- ### Pattern 3: Research-First with Subagent Delegation
372
-
373
- ```
374
- /create "Complex task" # Create bead with spec
375
- /start bd-xxx --research # Claim + parallel subagent research
376
- /plan bd-xxx --create-beads # Design with auto-hierarchy
377
- /implement bd-xxx.1 # Implement first subtask
378
- /finish bd-xxx.1 # Complete subtask
379
- /implement bd-xxx.2 --parallel # Next subtask with research
380
- /finish bd-xxx.2 # Complete subtask
381
- /finish bd-xxx # Close parent task
382
- ```
383
-
384
- ### Pattern 4: Bug Fix
385
-
386
- ```
387
- /issue 123 # Import GitHub issue as bead
388
- /start bd-xxx # Claim
389
- /fix bd-xxx # Diagnose + fix (asks before commit)
390
- /finish bd-xxx # Verify + close
391
- /pr bd-xxx # Create PR
392
- ```
393
-
394
- ### Pattern 5: Session Handoff
395
-
396
- ```
397
- /implement bd-xxx # Working on task...
398
- # Context getting large or end of day
399
- /handoff bd-xxx # Save progress, creates handoff.md
400
- # New session
401
- /resume bd-xxx # Load context, continue
402
- ```
403
-
404
- ### Pattern 6: Trivial Fix (No Bead)
405
-
406
- ```
407
- /quick-build "fix typo" # Single file, <30 min, commits directly
408
- ```
409
-
410
- ### Pattern 7: Epic with Parallel Workstreams
411
-
412
- ```
413
- /new-feature "Big Feature" --worktree
414
- # Creates: bd-epic with bd-xxx1, bd-xxx2, bd-xxx3
415
-
416
- # Agent 1 (main worktree)
417
- /start bd-xxx1 --worktree
418
- /implement bd-xxx1
419
- /finish bd-xxx1
420
-
421
- # Agent 2 (separate worktree - if independent)
422
- /start bd-xxx2 --worktree
423
- /implement bd-xxx2
424
- /finish bd-xxx2
425
-
426
- # Merge when all complete
427
- /finish bd-epic
428
- ```
429
-
430
- ### Pattern 8: Ralph Wiggum Autonomous Loop
431
-
432
- For tasks that can run autonomously until completion. The agent loops until it outputs `<promise>COMPLETE</promise>` or hits max iterations.
433
-
434
- ```
435
- /ralph-loop "Migrate all Jest tests to Vitest"
436
- # Or with PRD file:
437
- /ralph-loop "Complete PRD tasks" --prd PRD.md --max 50
438
-
439
- # Agent automatically:
440
- # 1. Picks highest-priority incomplete task
441
- # 2. Implements ONE feature
442
- # 3. Runs feedback loops (typecheck, test, lint)
443
- # 4. Commits if all pass
444
- # 5. Updates progress.txt
445
- # 6. Loops until <promise>COMPLETE</promise> or max iterations
446
- ```
447
-
448
- **When to use Ralph:**
449
-
450
- | Scenario | Use Ralph? | Why |
451
- | ------------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------ |
452
- | Test coverage improvement | ✅ Yes | Clear success criteria, safe to loop |
453
- | Linting fixes | ✅ Yes | Deterministic, feedback-driven |
454
- | Migration (Jest→Vitest) | ✅ Yes | Repetitive, well-defined end state |
455
- | Feature implementation | ⚠️ HITL | Need oversight for design decisions |
456
- | Architectural changes | ❌ No | Too risky for autonomous work |
457
- | Vague "improve X" tasks | ❌ No | No clear completion criteria |
458
-
459
- **Ralph + Beads Integration:**
460
-
461
- ```bash
462
- # Create PRD from beads
463
- br list --status=open --json > PRD.json
464
-
465
- # Start Ralph loop
466
- /ralph-loop "Complete all open tasks" --prd PRD.json
467
-
468
- # Ralph will work through tasks, you can:
469
- ralph-status # Check progress
470
- ralph-stop # Stop gracefully
471
-
472
- # After completion, sync beads
473
- br sync --flush-only
474
- ```
475
-
476
- **Key constraints:**
477
-
478
- - ONE feature per iteration (prevents context rot)
479
- - MUST pass all feedback loops before commit
480
- - Small steps > large changes
481
- - Always cap iterations (never infinite loops)
482
-
483
- ## Agent Boundaries
484
-
485
- ### Leader Agents (Touch Beads)
486
-
487
- | Agent | Can Do | Cannot Do |
488
- | ------- | ------------------------------- | --------- |
489
- | `build` | All beads operations, `br sync --flush-only` | - |
490
- | `plan` | All beads operations, `br sync --flush-only` | - |
491
-
492
- ### Subagents (Read-Only Beads)
493
-
494
- | Agent | Can Do | Cannot Do |
495
- | --------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------- |
496
- | `plan` | `br show`, `br list`, create artifacts | `br sync --flush-only`, `br close` |
497
- | `scout` | `br show` (read context) | Any writes |
498
- | `explore` | `br show`, `br list` | Any writes |
499
- | `review` | `br show` | Any writes |
500
- | `vision` | None | All beads operations |
501
-
502
- ## File Locking (Multi-Agent)
503
-
504
- ```typescript
505
- // Before editing shared files
506
- bd - reserve({ paths: ["src/auth.ts"], ttl: 600 });
507
-
508
- // Do work...
509
-
510
- // After completing edits
511
- bd - release({ paths: ["src/auth.ts"] });
512
-
513
- // Check active locks
514
- bd - release({ _: true }); // No paths = list locks
515
- ```
516
-
517
- ## Commit Message Format
518
-
519
- Always include bead ID for traceability:
520
-
521
- ```
522
- feat(auth): add token refresh (bd-a1b2c3)
523
-
524
- Implement automatic token refresh when access token expires.
525
-
526
- Closes: bd-a1b2c3
527
- ```
528
-
529
- ## Session End Checklist
530
-
531
- 1. [ ] All work committed
532
- 2. [ ] `br sync --flush-only` run (pushes to git)
533
- 3. [ ] If incomplete: `/handoff <id>` created
534
- 4. [ ] If complete: `/finish <id>` run
535
- 5. [ ] No stale file locks (`br-release({ _: true })`)
536
- 6. [ ] Worktrees cleaned up (if used)
537
-
538
- ## Troubleshooting
539
-
540
- | Problem | Solution |
541
- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
542
- | "bd command not found" | `npm install -g beads-village` |
543
- | Orphaned issues | `br doctor --fix` |
544
- | DB too large | `br cleanup --days 3` |
545
- | Sync conflicts | `br sync --force` (careful!) |
546
- | Stale handoff | Check if rebase needed before `/resume` |
547
- | Task not in `br ready` | Check blockers: `br show <id>` |
548
- | "Branch already checked out" | `rm -rf .git/beads-worktrees && git worktree prune` |
549
- | Daemon issues in worktree | `br config set sync-branch beads-sync` |
550
- | Sandbox environment | `br --sandbox` or `BEADS_NO_DAEMON=1` |
551
-
552
- ## Anti-Patterns
553
-
554
- | Don't | Why | Do Instead |
555
- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------- |
556
- | Skip `br sync --flush-only` at session end | Changes won't persist | Always sync before stopping |
557
- | Create beads for trivial fixes | DB bloat | Use `/quick-build` |
558
- | Work on blocked tasks | Wastes time | Use `br ready` to find unblocked |
559
- | Subagents running `br sync --flush-only` | Coordination issues | Only leader agents sync |
560
- | Force through complex with quick-build | Technical debt | Proper `/create` workflow |
561
- | Ignore `br doctor` warnings | Corruption risk | Fix issues promptly |
562
- | Skip worktree for XL features | Merge conflicts | Use `--worktree` flag |
563
- | Implement epic directly | Too large | Work on subtasks instead |
564
- | Wait for subagent results | Blocks progress | Fire parallel, continue working |
