Beads is a task tracker that keeps your work safe across many chat sessions. It stores issues as a graph inside your git repository. So even when conversation memory runs out, your tasks and their connections stay intact.
You use three command line tools: bd and br to create and manage issues with dependencies. bv helps you figure out which tasks are most important by analyzing the graph. This is great for long projects where you need to come back to work days later.
Simple commands like bd ready show what to do next. The system also helps you close issues with clear proof. It is built for developers and AI agents who need reliable task memory.
