When & Why to Use This Skill

The beads-task-create skill empowers users to efficiently generate and manage tasks within the Beads issue tracking system. By leveraging natural language commands, this tool automates the creation of action-oriented issues with customizable priorities and types, ensuring a streamlined project management workflow and reducing context switching for developers and project leads.

Use Cases

  • Instant Bug Reporting: Quickly log software bugs with specific priorities as they are identified during development or testing sessions directly through the AI interface.
  • Backlog Grooming: Rapidly populate a project backlog by describing multiple tasks in natural language, which the agent then converts into structured Beads issues with appropriate metadata.
  • Workflow Standardization: Ensure all new tasks follow a consistent format with mandatory titles and optional types (e.g., epic, task, bug), maintaining an organized and searchable project roadmap.

Beads: create task

Inputs to confirm

  • Title (required)
  • Priority (optional; default: 2)
  • Type (optional; e.g. task/bug/epic if your bd supports -t)

Procedure

  1. Prefer JSON output:
bd create "<title>" -p <priority> --json
  1. If you need a type and your bd supports it, use:
bd create "<title>" -t <type> -p <priority> --json
  1. Return to the user:
  • The new task ID (e.g. bd-a1b2)
  • A suggested next step (e.g. add deps, show details)

Notes

  • If --json is not available, fall back to bd create "<title>" -p <priority>.
  • Keep titles specific and action-oriented.
