Git-native issue tracking (beads), coding guidelines, knowledge injection, and spec-driven planning for AI agents. Drop-in replacement for bd/Beads with simpler architecture. Use for: tracking issues/beads with dependencies, creating bugs/features/tasks, planning specs, implementing features from specs, code reviews, committing code, creating PRs, reviewing and merging PRs, delegating to sub-agents, setting up tbd and project policy grants, loading coding guidelines…
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
<!-- DO NOT EDIT: Generated by tbd setup (format=f100). Run 'tbd setup' to update. --> **`tbd` helps humans and agents ship code with greater speed, quality, and discipline.** 1. **Beads**: Git-native issue tracking for tasks, bugs, and features, shared across sessions and machines. 2. **Spec-Driven Workflows**: Plan features, break them into beads, and implement them systematically. 3. **Knowledge Injection**: Engineering guidelines for languages, testing, architecture, and other topics, loaded on demand. 4. **Shortcuts**: Reusable instructions for code review, commits, PRs, cleanup, and handoffs. Use the capabilities the user wants; they can adopt beads alone or choose individual guidelines and workflows. The bundled docs are customizable defaults. Load relevant guidelines as needed and preserve the user’s task-specific instructions. ## Installation Check `tbd --version` first. Install the CLI if missing, or install/upgrade it when the user explicitly requests it. Then run `tbd prime` in the project’s Git repository. For a fresh project, ask the user for the issue-ID prefix and run `tbd setup --auto --prefix=<name>`; never guess the prefix. …

How to install
mdr add jlevy/tbd/tbd@sha256:d307446fb5564a2aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.60e2dee, 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.
