create-beads-backed-plan

create-beads-backed-plan is a command for coding agents from JPM1118/Threadwork. It costs 0 tokens per session (336 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for turning a software design or problem statement into a persistent Beads plan. Beads is a task-tracking system that stores work items and their dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create an epic, break it into linked implementation tasks, and save a readable plan document in the project’s docs/plans folder.
Why use it?
It keeps the implementation plan available across sessions instead of leaving it only in conversation. The plan shows what can be done next and how tasks depend on one another.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

create-beads-backed-plan 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 3d 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

/create-beads-backed-plan - Create a Persistent Implementation Plan

Create a structured implementation plan using Beads as the source of truth. The plan becomes an epic with tasks that persist across sessions and conversation compaction.

Usage

/create-beads-backed-plan

What This Command Does

This command invokes the beads-backed-planning skill to:

  1. Review your design doc or problem statement
  2. Create an epic in Beads for the feature
  3. Break work into discrete, implementable tasks
  4. Link tasks with dependencies (linear chain)
  5. Generate a human-readable plan markdown file

Prerequisites

  • Threadwork initialized (.threadwork.yaml exists)
  • Beads initialized (bd --no-daemon status works)
  • A design doc or clear understanding of what to build (ideally from /brainstorm)

Execution

Invoke the beads-backed-planning skill:

skill: beads-backed-planning

The skill will interactively create the epic and tasks, then generate a plan document at docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-{feature-slug}-plan.md.

Output

  • Epic created in Beads with feature description
  • Tasks created with linear dependencies (bd ready returns one at a time)
  • Plan markdown saved to docs/plans/ for human review

Next Steps

After planning is complete:

  1. Use beads-tdd-execution skill to implement each task
  2. Use verification-before-completion to verify work
  3. Use code-review skill between tasks
Changes

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.
