Beads (Beats) is an open-source, git-backed issue tracker that lives inside your repository and gives AI coding agents persistent, dependency-aware task management. Instead of agents losing context between sessions and making plans in markdown files, they can run a quick-start command to instantly see what tasks are blocked, done, or actionable. It integrates via a single line in the agent config file and acts as persistent memory across sessions.

Coding agent still making plans in markdown files? Beads can help.
