beads skillA

beads is agent-read markdown (skill) from flurdy/agent-skills: Shared Beads workflow baseline. Use whenever an agent uses `bd`, manages durable tasks, blockers, or handoffs, resolves work ownership, or decides between an ephemeral checklist and durable tracking. Covers store authority and remote Dolt safety..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Beads Workflow

Apply this baseline whenever Beads is active. It decides where durable work belongs and which
focused skill owns the operation; it is not another intake, grooming, migration, or sync
procedure.

## Authority and opt-in

Repository-local instructions remain authoritative for whether Beads is active, which tracker
and store own work, lifecycle conventions, and stronger safety rules. Follow the nearest
`AGENTS.md` or equivalent project guidance before this shared baseline when they differ.

Do not initialize Beads merely because this skill loaded. If the repository has no active Beads
store, follow its declared Jira, Trello, or other tracking policy. If no tracker is declared, ask
before introducing one.

Never edit generated Beads integration blocks manually during ordinary work. This includes the
legacy `<!-- BEGIN BEADS INTEGRATION -->` marker and metadata-bearing variants through
`<!-- END BEADS INTEGRATION -->`. The only exception is the explicit cleanup-only, marker-bounded native edit in [integration-cleanup.md](references/integration-cleanup.md), after its exact preview, ownership
…
