Beads
A memory upgrade for your coding agent
Beads is an open-source project providing a distributed, structured memory system for AI coding agents, replacing ad-hoc text plans with a git-backed graph that represents tasks, dependencies, and progress in a persistent, queryable format. Instead of storing plans as unstructured Markdown or ephemeral notes, Beads organizes agent state, task artifacts, and relationships as nodes and edges in a version-controlled graph so that long-horizon projects don’t lose context or coherence as the agent proceeds. This approach helps coding agents — and human collaborators — track which tasks depend on others, what has been done, and where workflows branch or reunify without losing important data. ...
