What it does
sttts-beads-skill is a one-plugin Claude Code pack that teaches your agent how to use beads—the lightweight issue tracker from steveyegge/beads—together with git worktrees. Indie builders juggling multiple features in parallel often lose sync between what Claude thinks is “done” and what is actually recorded; this skill narrows that gap by making issue queries, updates, and worktree context part of the default workflow. It suits CLI-first builders who already adopt beads for memory outside the chat window and want Claude Code to read and write that ledger instead of improvising todo lists. Install when you are in active build cycles and need PM hygiene without adopting a heavyweight Jira stack. The skill is intermediate: you should understand git worktrees and have beads available locally before relying on the agent for tracking.
Highlights
- Claude skill integration for the beads issue-tracking CLI (github.com/steveyegge/beads)
- Git worktree-aware workflow so branches map to tracked issues
- Issue discovery, tracking, and completion patterns the agent can follow
- Single focused plugin for beads + worktree discipline
- Productivity category entry for solo agentic development loops
Why builders use it
Agent sessions drift from your real issue backlog when todos live only in chat instead of beads and worktrees.
After install, Claude can use beads commands and worktree context so tasks stay recorded and branch work stays scoped.
