How does it ensure PRD compliance?

The skill compares the feature count and headings in your docs/PRD.md file against the number of open issues to ensure no requirements were missed.

When is the best time to run the Beads Validation skill?

It is best used immediately after creating issues during project initialization and right before starting the TDD loop to ensure the task queue is ready for work.

Does it support circular dependency detection?

Yes, it uses the 'bd doctor' command to analyze your task graph and identify recursive dependencies that would prevent tasks from being completed.

What happens if the validation fails?

The skill provides specific error messages identifying whether the failure is due to missing features, invalid dependency IDs, or an empty 'ready' queue, allowing for quick fixes.

Productivity & Workflow

Validates project issues against requirements and dependency logic to ensure workflow readiness.

About

Beads Validation is a specialized utility designed to audit and verify the integrity of task issues within the Beads project management ecosystem. It bridges the gap between planning and execution by ensuring that every feature defined in your Product Requirements Document (PRD) has a corresponding issue, priorities are correctly assigned, and no circular dependencies exist that would block development. This skill is essential for maintaining a clean TDD loop and ensuring that the development queue remains unblocked and logically sound.

Key Features

Maps PRD features to issues to ensure 100% requirement coverage
Validates issue priority levels and dependency ID integrity
Provides clear pass/fail reporting for project initialization audits
Detects and resolves circular dependencies within the task graph
Verifies task readiness to prevent workflow bottlenecks
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Verifying issue lists immediately after automated project initialization
Auditing complex dependency chains before starting a TDD cycle
Identifying missing tasks that were defined in the PRD but not created
