beadhive 0.1.1

Beadhive CLI

Beadhive (bh)

bh is a single CLI for managing beads issue tracking across many repositories. Each repo is its own beads database (a rig) with a short, stable prefix; bh onboards them, keeps their labels consistent, runs bd/git across one or all of them, and aggregates every rig into one cross-repo view — even rigs whose code isn't checked out.

It's a thin orchestrator over bd, git, git-workspace, dolt, and docker: bh encodes the conventions, the registry, validation, and routing. Config and runtime state live under ~/.beadhive/; no issue data lives there — each rig's issues live in its own Dolt DB under refs/dolt/data on that repo's own git remote.

bh is the Beadhive umbrella's workspace CLI — the integration-plane driver for AGF (Agentic Git Flow), the abstract, tracker-independent process. Beadflow is that process implemented on beads: this repo's concrete implementation, unchanged behavior under a naming layer. See docs/AGF.md for the process and docs/design/limn-naming-strategy-adr.md for the naming decision record.

This repo is the CLI's source (Python package beadhive on PyPI, command bh).

Install

Agents: point your agent at INSTALL.md — the preferred install path. It carries a structured install: frontmatter block (the agent reads it, discloses the plan, and asks before each command) plus a prose fallback any agent or human can follow.

Manual (pick one):

uv tool install 'beadhive[otel]'     # PyPI (recommended)
brew install beadhive/tap/beadhive   # Homebrew

Then scaffold the config home:

bh config init      # writes config.yaml + templates into ~/.beadhive/

Optional (Claude Code): the bh claude-plugin vends the AGF seat agent defs and role skills; bh mcp install wires the MCP server at user scope:

claude plugin marketplace add beadhive/claude-plugin
claude plugin install bh@beadhive
bh mcp install

Docs

New to bh? Start at **docs/ONBOARDING.md** — the end-to-end guide from fresh Mac to a configured AGF workspace with registered rigs.

Everything else — the design and reasoning, configuration, the full command surface, and each component — starts at **docs/OVERVIEW.md**.
