Official skill for beads_rust (`br`), a local-first, dependency-aware issue tracker for AI agents. Use when creating issues, triaging backlogs, managing dependencies, finding ready work, updating status, or syncing to git via JSONL.
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.

# br -- Beads Rust Issue Tracker (Official Skill)
> **Non-invasive:** br NEVER runs git commands. Sync and commit are YOUR responsibility.
## Critical Rules for Agents
| Rule | Why |
|------|-----|
| **Binary is `br`** | NEVER `bd` (that is the old Go version) |
| **ALWAYS use `--json`** | Structured output for parsing; `--format toon` for reduced tokens |
| **NEVER run bare `bv`** | Blocks session in interactive TUI mode |
| **Sync is EXPLICIT** | `br sync --flush-only` exports DB to JSONL only |
| **Git is YOUR job** | br only touches `.beads/` -- you must `git add .beads/ && git commit` |
| **No cycles allowed** | `br dep cycles` must return empty |
| **Resolve actor at runtime** | Use `ACTOR="${BR_ACTOR:-assistant}"` and pass `--actor "$ACTOR"` |
## Quick Workflow
```bash
ACTOR="${BR_ACTOR:-assistant}"
# 1. Find work
br ready --json
# 2. Claim it
br update --actor "$ACTOR" <id> --status in_progress
# 3. Do work...
# 4. Complete
br close --actor "$ACTOR" <id> --reason "Implemented X"
# 5. Sync to git (EXPLICIT!)

How to install
mdr add dicklesworthstone/beads_rust/br@sha256:9bec4f308df6544fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
