kris-hansen-beads-claude-plugin is a Claude Code plugin that teaches beads (bd) syntax, workflows, and best practices for AI-optimized issue tracking.
About
The kris-hansen beads Claude plugin packages teaching context for beads (bd), an issue-tracking style tuned for AI agents. developers 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.
