Manage the beads backlog for this project.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Backlog Groomer Triage, prioritize, and research work tracked in the beads issue tracker. This skill operates on the `bd` CLI — all mutations (create, close, update) require explicit user approval before execution. Determine which workflow the user needs based on their request. If ambiguous, default to workflow 1 (review and triage) for grooming requests, or workflow 4 (Investigate topic as spike) for research requests. ## Issue Types Reference Beads v1.0+ defines nine core issue types.

How to install
mdr add voxpelli/claude-beads/backlog-groomer@sha256:2b3e06db98d5ac4eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260602.039a530, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
