Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Orchestrate Beads as the canonical work graph while allowing any spec-driven or structured development workflow—Spec Kit, Superpowers, BMad, GSD, custom SDD, or plain markdown—to produce specs, plans, and execution artifacts. Use when creating features, turning designs into beads, planning implementation, executing child tasks, syncing GitHub Issues, creating PR gates, or finishing work.Key capabilities
- →Orchestrate development cycles using Beads as the canonical work graph
- →Convert designs and specs into Beads for managing state and dependencies
- →Break down features into implementation tasks and child beads
- →Sync Beads state with GitHub Issues for visibility
- →Create PR gates and manage closeout of beads after PR merge
How it works
The skill orchestrates development by using Beads as the central work graph, allowing various SDD frameworks to produce artifacts. It maps these artifacts into Beads, ensuring Beads remains the authoritative source for state, dependencies, and gates.
Inputs & outputs
When to use beads-sdd-orchestrator
- →Orchestrating feature development
- →Syncing github issues with beads
- →Setting up pr gates
- →Planning implementation details
About beads-sdd-orchestrator
Serves as an orchestrator for development processes, using the Beads work graph to manage state, dependencies, and gates while allowing other SDD frameworks to generate artifacts.

When not to use it
- →For general coding tasks that do not involve the Beads workflow
- →For pure documentation tasks that do not involve the Beads workflow
- →When GitHub is intended to be the primary source of truth for work status
Limitations
- →The skill is an orchestrator, not a replacement for SDD frameworks
- →GitHub Issues are for humans and mirror Beads, they are not the source of truth
- →Do not continue if canonical state is ambiguous between GitHub and Beads
How it compares
This skill centralizes the work graph in Beads while integrating diverse SDD workflows, providing a unified and authoritative view of project status, unlike managing separate artifacts across different tools.

create-plan
antinomyhq
Generate detailed implementation plans for complex tasks. Creates comprehensive strategic plans in Markdown format with objectives, step-by-step implementation tasks using checkbox format, verification criteria, risk assessments, and alternative approaches. Use when users need thorough analysis and structured planning before implementation, when breaking down complex features into actionable steps, or when they explicitly ask for a plan, roadmap, or strategy. Strictly planning-focused with no code modifications.
project-planner
