name	create-beads
description	Use when you have a design or requirements and need to create beads (epics/tasks) for implementation

Creating Beads

Convert designs into beads. Verify bd is installed first or STOP.

Structure

Multi-task features: Epic + child tasks

bd create "Feature Name" --type epic -d "Goal and design summary"
bd create "Task 1" --parent <epic-id> -d "What to do, files to touch"

Small features: Standalone tasks

bd create "Task title" -d "Description"

Task Guidelines

• Bite-sized: 2-5 minutes each
• Exact file paths
• Specific code/commands (not "add validation")
• TDD: test first, implement, commit

Task Description Format

Goal: What this accomplishes
Files: exact/paths/here
Steps: 1. Write test 2. Implement 3. Verify
Acceptance: Tests pass, no regressions

After Creating

bd list --parent <epic-id>  # Show tasks
bd ready                    # Find unblocked work
