i got into the habits of letting the coding agent write detailed git commits with bulletpoints. how do you use the beads output?
I spent a lot of time creating a way for agents to track their work, and keep going. A few days ago, I found Steve Yegge's ‘beads’ project.
(see here: https://github.com/steveyegge/beads).
It is good and solves the problem. It's fun watching all these new tools show up. Programming is new again.

You basically just tell it to ask ‘bd’ for the next task and it handles dependencies and stuff. And then setup another prompt that’s good at creating tasks. Works surprisingly well.
