hmans-beans is a Claude Code plugin that connects Beans, a flat-file CLI issue tracker, so you and your agent can track work in the repo without a hosted PM database.

About

hmans-beans is a Claude Code plugin around Beans, a CLI-based flat-file issue tracker built for humans and robots alike. Developers who want issue history inside the repo—not another SaaS board—can list, create, and organize work from the terminal while keeping agents in sync through configure and prime style setup. The bundle ships one plugin keyworded around beans, Claude, track, and configure, which makes it a productivity and PM adjunct rather than a full agile suite. If you already live in Claude Code and want issues that agents can read and update as files, this is a low-friction alternative to heavy PM tools.

  • CLI-first flat-file issue storage that stays in your repo
  • Designed for both human operators and coding-agent workflows
  • Claude-oriented configure and prime flows for agent-assisted tracking
  • No hosted database—issues live as plain files you can diff and review
  • Community plugin bundle with a single focused beans integration

What it does

Run a git-friendly flat-file issue tracker from the CLI and wire Claude to configure, prime, and track work without Jira or a database.

Who is it for?

Developers and agent-first workflows that want Jira-light tracking committed beside code, especially on small SaaS or CLI repos.

Skip if: Skip if you need real-time Kanban, cross-project portfolios, or enterprise permissions without maintaining flat files yourself.

What you get

After you add the plugin and configure Beans, issues live as flat files in your project, trackable from the CLI and aligned with Claude-assisted prime and track workflows.

  • Configured Beans flat-file issue layout in the repo
  • CLI-accessible issue list creatable and updatable by you or the agent
  • Claude primed to track work using Beans conventions

Recommended Plugins

How it compares

Flat-file CLI issue tracker plugin, not an MCP server or a codegen skill pack.

FAQ

Who is Hmans Beans for?

Developers and Claude Code users who want robot- and human-readable issues stored as files in git, not a separate PM product.

When should I use Hmans Beans?

Use it when you start naming build tasks, bugs, and launch checklists during development and want that list to stay versioned with the repo through ship and iterate cycles.

How do I add Hmans Beans to my agent?

Install the hmans/beans Claude Code plugin from the catalog, open your project in Claude Code, and follow the plugin’s configure and prime steps so Beans CLI commands and agent context stay in sync.
