What it does
The kris-hansen beads Claude plugin packages teaching context for beads (bd), an issue-tracking style tuned for AI agents. Solo builders install it when they want Claude to file, reference, and close work using consistent bd syntax and workflows instead of ad hoc markdown lists. It is not a standalone tracker app; it is agent context that makes bd the shared language between you and the coding session. Use it during active build and iteration when backlog hygiene matters, especially if you already use or plan to use bd alongside Claude Code. The bundle is intentionally narrow—one plugin—so setup stays lightweight compared to sprawling marketplaces.
Highlights
- Injects comprehensive beads (bd) context into Claude Code sessions
- Covers bd syntax, workflows, and best practices for AI-optimized tracking
- Single focused plugin bundle (pluginCount: 1) for issue discipline
- Reduces re-teaching issue format every time you start a new thread
- Pairs with agent-driven development where issues replace sticky-note backlog
Why builders use it
Agents forget your issue format every session, so backlog updates drift into untracked chat fluff.
After you add the plugin, Claude can work in bd conventions so issues stay structured and traceable across sessions.
