gastownhall/beads is a command-line graph issue tracker that gives coding agents persistent, structured memory through a dependency-aware task database. It is for developers and AI agents handling long-running work across tasks, branches, and sessions. The catalogue entries provide integrations and workflows for operating Beads with coding agents.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00007 | $0.00227 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00091 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
comments scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says
View or add comments to a beads issue.
Comments are separate from issue properties (title, description, etc.) because they serve a different purpose: they're a discussion thread rather than singular editable fields. Use bd comments for threaded conversations and bd edit for core issue metadata.
View Comments
To view all comments on an issue:
- $1: Issue ID (e.g., bd-123)
Use the beads CLI bd comments <issue-id> to list all comments. Show them to the user with timestamps and authors.
Add Comment
To add a comment:
- $1: "add"
- $2: Issue ID
- $3: Comment text (or use -f flag for file input)
Use bd comments add <issue-id> "comment text" to add a comment. Confirm the comment was added successfully.
Comments are useful for:
- Progress updates during work
- Design notes or technical decisions
- Links to related resources
- Questions or blockers
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

comments is a command published in the GitHub repository gastownhall/beads (28,536 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 227 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
