Beads Task Memory
gastownhall/beads

At a glance
Routes artifact operations in a loopany workspace to the right playbook: tasks, signals, learnings, skill proposals, missions, people, notes, briefs and journals.
- Creating a task, signal or note in a loopany workspace
- SKILL.md covers Bootstrap, Kind routing, Decision rule and Pass --slug for anything…, plus 3 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Deciding which artifact kind fits something you just noticed
What it does
This is the first-read routing skill for working in a loopany workspace, a pattern for building self-iterating agents. It tells the agent to bootstrap by listing active missions with the loopany CLI, run onboarding if none exists, and then read the playbook for the kind of artifact it is about to create or change before acting.
A trigger table sends each situation to a kind file: tasks for committed work, signals for something noticed but not actionable yet, learnings, skill proposals, missions, briefs, people, notes and a read-only journal of what was created today. A decision rule maps state to artifact. Acting now is a task, deferred or unverified is a signal, a pattern-backed belief is a learning, a long pursuit is a mission, and a duplicate gets evidence appended rather than forked.
The skill also advises passing --slug for anything cited later, since the slug is the id used in citations, and points to conventions for relation verbs and taxonomy. Related loopany skills handle first-read resolving, reflection, periodic reviews and auto-capture after work.
When your agent uses it
- Creating a task, signal or note in a loopany workspace
- Deciding which artifact kind fits something you just noticed
- Dismissing a signal or flipping a task to done
- Choosing a relation verb between artifacts
Example prompts
- “Create a task for the Q2 CAC spike and give it a slug so I can cite it later.”
- “Dismiss the signal about the flaky export job.”
- “I noticed support tickets about login errors but can't act now. What kind of artifact is that?”
Requirements
- The loopany CLI and a loopany workspace
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cdd1d08. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Loopany Artifact Lifecycle loads about 749 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 267 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 267 words (~749 tokens).
“Read this first when working in a loopany workspace. Routes you to the right kind playbook for any artifact operation.”
