## Historique du projet et usages

Beads is a distributed graph issue tracker for AI-assisted software work. Its core idea is to give coding agents persistent, structured project memory using a dependency-aware issue graph stored in Dolt rather than ad hoc markdown plans.

### Historique du projet

The public GitHub repository for gastownhall/beads was created on 2025-10-12. Its README presents the tool as 'bd - Beads' and describes a cross-platform CLI for macOS, Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD, with Dolt as the version-controlled SQL storage backend.

The project moved quickly from pre-1.0 tags in October 2025 to 1.0.x releases in April and May 2026, followed by a 1.1.0 release candidate in June 2026. The README documents agent setup commands for Codex, Claude Code, Factory.ai Droid, Cursor, Copilot, and other environments, showing that agent integration became part of the main product surface rather than an add-on.

### Historique d'adoption

Beads adoption is unusually fast for a young developer tool. The official repository metadata showed 24,977 stars and 1,668 forks on 2026-06-30, and the README documents installation through Homebrew, npm, an install script, Go source builds, Windows support, Arch AUR, and related MCP/PyPI packaging.

The package-manager facts in this batch list Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, MacPorts, Nix, and winget entries. That distribution spread matters because Beads is meant to be installed once and used across projects, including by automated agents that need a predictable CLI.

### Modes d'utilisation

Typical use starts with 'bd init' inside a project. Core commands include 'bd ready' for unblocked work, 'bd create' for new tasks, 'bd update --claim' for atomic claiming, 'bd dep add' for dependency links, 'bd show' for details, 'bd prime' for agent context, and 'bd remember' for persistent project memory.

The README documents two storage modes: embedded Dolt by default for a single-writer local database, and server mode for an external dolt sql-server when concurrent writers matter. It also describes git-free and stealth modes for non-git workspaces, CI, monorepos, evaluations, and personal planning.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Beads is package-nerd significant because it packages a new workflow assumption: issue tracking as local, mergeable, agent-readable state in the repository neighborhood. It sits at the intersection of CLI issue trackers, local-first databases, Dolt, MCP, and coding-agent coordination.

It is also a good example of a modern package needing many ecosystem edges at once: Homebrew formulae for shell users, npm for Node workflows, PyPI/MCP for agent integrations, winget for Windows, and docs that teach agents as first-class users.
