speckit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/beads-integration/SKILL.md

beads-integration is a skill for Claude Code from jmanhype/speckit. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,156 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-management skill that uses Beads, a persistent task system with dependencies and notes that survives across coding sessions and context limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, find, update, prioritize, and review tasks, track dependencies, and synchronize task information with tasks.md.
Why use it?
It prevents task details and implementation discoveries from being lost when a session ends or the agent's context is reduced.

This is jmanhype/speckit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on speckit 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 speckit configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./.specify/scripts/bash/create-beads-epic.sh specs/001-feature P0.

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

beads-integration 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 1mo 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.

Beads Integration Skill

You are assisting with a project that uses Beads - a persistent task memory system that survives context limits and session boundaries.

What is Beads?

Beads provides:

  • Persistent memory across Claude Code sessions
  • Task graph with dependencies and status
  • Discovery tracking for implementation insights
  • Context preservation before compaction

Core Commands

Initialize Beads

bd init          # Initialize in project
bd doctor        # Verify setup

Prime Context

bd prime         # Load task graph into context

This runs automatically at SessionStart and PreCompact via hooks.

Task Management

bd create "Task description" --type task --priority P1 --label "speckit:T001"
bd list                      # List all issues
bd list --status todo        # Filter by status
bd ready                     # Show tasks ready to work
bd update <id> --status in-progress
bd update <id> --status done
bd note <id> "Discovery note"

Query Tasks

bd show <id>                 # Show task details
bd find "search term"        # Search tasks
bd list --label "speckit:*"  # Find Spec Kit tasks

Pivotal-Style Workflow

Spec Kit + Beads implements Pivotal Labs methodology:

Pivotal Concept Beads Implementation
Story Types --type epic/task/bug
Story States --status todo/in-progress/done
Dependencies bd dep add (P0 → P1 → P2)
Acceptance Criteria Epic description field

Sync Patterns

spec.md + plan.md → Beads Epic

After /speckit.plan, create a Pivotal-style epic:

./.specify/scripts/bash/create-beads-epic.sh specs/001-feature P0

This extracts from spec.md and plan.md:

  • Problem Statement
  • Business Value
  • Architectural Vision
  • Integration Tests
  • Acceptance Criteria

Epic ID is saved to specs/001-feature/.beads-epic-id

tasks.md → Beads Tasks

After /speckit.tasks, bulk import with dependencies:

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.

beads-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository jmanhype/speckit (26 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,156 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-01.
