Makes me wonder whether you can just give agents [Taskwarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/).

Set the TASKDATA to `./.task/`. Then tell the agents to use the task CLI.

The benefit is most LLMs already understand Taskwarrior. They've never heard of Beads.

That's mentioned in the beads doc, it could have decent but beads is optimizing for agent use, semantic issue relationships, conflict resolution, etc. I've had success with just using gh issues and agents are pretty good at looking for new issues and closing them when done. I have a couple of toy projects where maintaining the code is basically filing a bug report or feature request.

Also when you say 'never heard of beads' --- it spits ou onboarding text to tell the agent exactly what it needs to know.

Requires a deep dive, but this is an interesting direction for agent tooling
