Work: FSM Lifecycle Router (v3)

One entry point for all work. Concurrent FSM with PLANNING and EXECUTION phases. Guard scoring runs constantly (not as a gate). DISCOVER runs interview, memory prefetch, prior art, and search concurrently. All artifacts stored as beads custom types.

Task Tracker Adapter (bd | br | td)

The work skill is backend-agnostic for task tracking. Detect which tool is available and route through the adapter. Preference order: bd > br > td.

Detection

# Prefer bd (Go, auto-commit) > br (Rust, non-invasive) > td (Python, lightweight)
command -v bd && TRACKER=bd || { command -v br && TRACKER=br || { command -v td && TRACKER=td || TRACKER=none; }; }

Operation Map

Operation	bd (preferred)	br (supported)	td (lightweight)
create	bd create --title="..." --type=task	br create --title="..." --type=task	td add "..."
list	bd list --status=open	br list --status=open	/
