Awesome-omni-skill beads-worker

Implement exactly one Beads task in a dedicated git worktree/branch with plan→code→self-review and write full updates back to the task. Use when implementing a Beads task, coding in a worktree, or executing a single task implementation.

Beads Worker

Orchestrator role

This skill is typically invoked by

$beads-orchestrator
. Users normally start with the orchestrator, not this role.

Input you must obtain from context

  • Task id (e.g.,
    bd-a3f8.1
    )
  • Worktree path (e.g.,
    .worktrees/bd-a3f8-1
    )
  • Branch name (e.g.,
    beads/bd-a3f8-1
    )

Rules

  • Do not work on multiple tasks.
  • Do not commit to any other branch.
  • Before writing code: publish a plan to the Beads task.
  • Confirm the task already has an Architect Plan update and
    state=plan-ready
    before beginning work.
  • After writing code: self-review, run checks, then publish an implementation summary to the task.
  • Tests must use the project's existing technologies/infrastructure; do not add new test frameworks without a clear task requirement.
  • If UI changes are involved: invoke
    $frontend-design
    before implementing UI, and follow its guidance.

Tmux integration

  • Prefer running this skill inside its tmux pane created by
    scripts/tmux-orchestrator.sh add-worker "$TASK_ID" ...
    .
  • If you need to launch a worker from scratch, start the pane with
    scripts/tmux-orchestrator.sh add-worker "$TASK_ID" "cd $WORKTREE_PATH && <work commands>"
    .

Procedure

  1. Enter the worktree and confirm branch:
    • pwd
      ,
      git status
      ,
      git branch --show-current
  2. Read the task:
    • bd show "$TASK_ID"
  3. Write “Plan” update to task (use template in
    references/worker-checklist.md
    ).
  4. Implement in small commits:
    • commit messages must include the task id.
  5. Self-review:
    • review diff vs base branch
    • run tests/build
  6. Write “Implemented” update to task:
    • summary, verification steps, tests run, commit SHAs
  7. Stop. Do not merge. Hand off to reviewer/integrator.

If you discover out-of-scope work

  • Do not silently expand scope.
  • Write a note to the task describing the out-of-scope issue clearly.
  • Recommend creating follow-up Beads tasks.

If implementation goes wrong (rollback)

If your implementation breaks the build, tests, or introduces regressions:

  1. Stop and assess — do not push more commits hoping to fix forward blindly.
  2. Soft reset option — if recent commits are the problem:
    • git log --oneline
      to identify the last good commit
    • git reset --soft "$GOOD_COMMIT"
      to unstage bad changes (keeps files)
    • Fix issues, then recommit
  3. Hard reset option — if you need to discard all changes:
    • Confirm you are in the assigned worktree + branch:
      pwd
      ,
      git rev-parse --show-toplevel
      ,
      git branch --show-current
    • git reset --hard "$GOOD_COMMIT"
      (destructive — loses uncommitted work)
  4. Document in Beads — write a note explaining what went wrong and what was rolled back.
  5. Autonomous recovery — if the task is blocked, note it in Beads, attempt a safe workaround or create follow-up tasks, and continue. Halt only if truly catastrophic.
