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.

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

# 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

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/beads@sha256:5725766b16e48143

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.11.1, 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.
