About
BV is a graph-aware triage engine for the Beads issue tracker that analyzes project dependencies as a DAG using 9 graph metrics. Developers should use its `--robot-*` command flags exclusively for machine-readable JSON output, as the default command launches a blocking TUI. It enables dependency-aware planning and provides structured data for AI agents to identify bottlenecks and optimal work order.

Use the executing-plans skill when you have a complete implementation plan to execute in controlled batches with review checkpoints. It loads and critically reviews the plan, then executes tasks in small batches (default 3 tasks) while reporting progress between each batch for architect review. This ensures systematic implementation with built-in quality control checkpoints.
This skill dispatches a code-reviewer subagent to analyze code changes against requirements before proceeding. It should be used after completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to main. The review helps catch issues early by comparing the current implementation with the original plan.
This skill provides a comprehensive guide for developers to connect MCP servers to Claude Code using HTTP, stdio, or SSE transports. It covers installation, configuration, authentication, and security for integrating external services like GitHub, Notion, and custom APIs. Use it when setting up MCP integrations, configuring external tools, or working with Claude's Model Context Protocol.
This skill helps developers choose between Claude Code Web and CLI interfaces based on task analysis, then enables seamless session teleportation between these environments. It optimizes workflow by managing session state and context when switching between web, CLI, or mobile. Use it for complex projects requiring different tools at various stages.
