beads

beads is a plugin for Claude Code from zot24/skills. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill, 1 command it bundles cost 134 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, no licence file.

An issue tracker for AI coding agents that stores work items and their dependencies in Dolt, a database with Git-like version control. It organizes tasks into a ready queue and uses short hash-based IDs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, link, prioritize, and track coding tasks with dependencies. It also supports larger work structures such as formulas, prototypes, molecules, gates, and temporary wisps.
Why use it?
It shows which tasks are unblocked and ready to work on, reducing confusion when one task depends on another. It also keeps issue data synchronized and supports agent and IDE workflows.

Security

Grade A, and why

beads 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 5d 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 installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill, 1 command travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 134 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
