Conductor-Beads: Command for Claude Code

.claude/skills/beads/commands/workflow.md

workflow is a command for Claude Code from NguyenSiTrung/Conductor-Beads. It costs 8 tokens per session (551 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to the Beads workflow, where coding tasks are tracked as issues with statuses, priorities, links, and blockers. It explains how to find available work, claim it, record newly discovered tasks, and close completed work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to follow the full issue cycle: find unblocked tasks, mark work in progress, create related issues, link dependencies, close finished tasks, and check what became available.
Why use it?
It gives developers and AI agents a consistent way to coordinate work and keep dependencies and progress visible.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is NguyenSiTrung/Conductor-Beads's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Conductor-Beads itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Conductor-Beads configures →

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

workflow 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 8d 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

Display the beads workflow for AI agents and developers.

Beads Workflow

Beads is an issue tracker designed for AI-supervised coding workflows. Here's how to use it effectively:

1. Find Ready Work

Use /beads:ready or the ready MCP tool to see tasks with no blockers.

2. Claim Your Task

Claim the issue atomically (assignee + in_progress in one step):

  • Via command: /beads:update <id> --claim
  • Via MCP tool: update with status: "in_progress"

3. Work on It

Implement, test, and document the feature or fix.

4. Discover New Work

As you work, you'll often find bugs, TODOs, or related work:

  • Create issues: /beads:create or create MCP tool
  • Link them: Use dep MCP tool with type: "discovered-from"
  • This maintains context and work history

5. Complete the Task

Close the issue when done:

  • Via command: /beads:close <id> "Completed: <summary>"
  • Via MCP tool: close with reason

6. Check What's Unblocked

After closing, check if other work became ready:

  • Use /beads:ready to see newly unblocked tasks
  • Start the cycle again

Tips

  • Priority levels: 0=critical, 1=high, 2=medium, 3=low, 4=backlog
  • Issue types: bug, feature, task, epic, chore
  • Dependencies: Use blocks for hard dependencies, related for soft links
  • Auto-sync: Changes are stored in Dolt and synced via bd dolt push

Available Commands

  • /beads:ready - Find unblocked work
  • /beads:create - Create new issue
  • /beads:show - Show issue details
  • /beads:update - Update issue
  • /beads:close - Close issue
  • /beads:workflow - Show this guide (you are here!)

MCP Tools Available

Use these via the beads MCP server:

  • ready, list, show, create, update, close
  • dep (manage dependencies), blocked, stats
  • init (initialize bd in a project)

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.

workflow is a command published in the GitHub repository NguyenSiTrung/Conductor-Beads (24 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 551 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 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.
