Dolt-powered issue tracker for multi-session work

Beads is an agent skill that provides persistent task memory through a graph-based issue tracker called bd, backed by Dolt. It is for work that spans many sessions and has dependencies between tasks, and it keeps that memory after the conversation is compacted, so an agent does not lose track of the work. The skill includes a decision test: if you will need the context in two weeks, use bd, and if the task is a single-session linear list, use the ephemeral TodoWrite list instead. The bd tracker suits multi-session work, dependencies and team sync through Dolt, while TodoWrite is tied to the conversation. The skill lists its prerequisites and points to a boundaries document with a detailed comparison of the two. It is part of the gastownhall beads project, and it is listed on skills.sh with clean security audits.
