Ralph Tui Create Beads Rust

Ralph-tui-create-beads-rust converts product requirement documents into executable beads (epic tasks with child subtasks) using the beads-rust CLI tool, enabling autonomous execution through ralph-tui. It extracts quality gates from PRDs, creates appropriately-sized stories that fit within a single agent context window, and outputs ready-to-execute bash commands with proper dependency ordering. This skill is for developers and teams who want to use ralph-tui with beads-rust as their task management source instead of the original beads CLI.

Ralph TUI - Create Beads (beads-rust)

Converts PRDs to beads (epic + child tasks) for ralph-tui autonomous execution using beads-rust (br CLI).

Note: This skill uses the br command from beads-rust. If you have the original beads (bd) installed instead, use the ralph-tui-create-beads skill.

The Job

Take a PRD (markdown file or text) and create beads using br commands:

Extract Quality Gates from the PRD's "Quality Gates" section
Create an epic bead for the feature
Create child beads for each user story (with quality gates appended)
Set up dependencies between beads (schema → backend → UI)
Output ready for ralph-tui run --tracker beads-rust

Step 1: Extract Quality Gates

Look for the "Quality Gates" section in the PRD:

## Quality Gates

These commands must pass for every user story:
- `pnpm typecheck` - Type checking
- `pnpm lint` - Linting

For UI stories, also include:
- Verify in browser using dev-browser skill

Extract:

Universal gates: Commands that apply to ALL stories (e.g., pnpm typecheck)
UI gates: Commands that apply only to UI stories (e.g., browser verification)
