Beads BV — Graph-Aware Triage

What it does

Beads BV provides graph-aware triage for software backlogs. Using metrics like PageRank, betweenness, k-core and articulation points, it identifies priority work, bottlenecks, and parallel execution tracks, then emits JSON-safe recommendations for automated agents. The skill maps backlog items as a directed graph and exposes robot-mode commands that return machine-readable recommendations, single-item picks, parallel plans, and deep analytics.

When to use it

Use this skill when an agent needs to decide what to work on next across repositories or teams, detect blocking labels or cycles, generate a claim-and-claim workflow, or schedule concurrent workstreams. It is intended for automated (robot) contexts — do not run the interactive TUI in agent flows.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled in the skill (has_references=true) — see repository references for command docs and metrics definitions.
• References: COMMANDS.md, METRICS.md, RECIPES.md with jq examples and validation checks.
• Instructions: detailed robot-mode flags (e.g. --robot-triage, --robot-next, --robot-plan, --robot-insights) and examples showing how to claim items and validate outputs.

Compatible agents

Designed to work with code/automation agents that can invoke CLI tools and parse JSON: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex/Codegen-based agents, and other automation runtimes that support shell command execution.
