You might like linear-beads[1] better. It's a simpler and less invasive version of beads I made to solve some of the unusual design choices. It can also (optionally) use linear as the storage backend for the agent's tasks, which has the excellent side effect that you as a human can actually see what the agent is working on and direct the agent from within linear.

Despite it's quirks I think beads is going to go down as one of the first pieces of software that got some adoption where the end user is an agent

Looks interesting. Might want to link to Linear in the README; I hadn't heard of it before.

What do you like about Linear? Is it suitable for hobby projects?

  • Good call, added a link.

    Linear is great, it's what JIRA should've been. Basically task management for people who don't want to deal with task management. It's also full featured, fast (they were famously one of the earlier apps to use a local-first sync-engine style architecture), and keyboard-centric.

    Definitely suitable for hobby projects, but can also scale to large teams and massive codebases.
