Beads Epic Builder

The beads-epic-builder plugin provides three ways to work with beads epics:

1. Plan an Epic

The epic-planner agent guides features from concept to implementation-ready tasks:

User describes feature
         |
         v
   Research (adaptive depth)
         |
         v
   Research Approval Gate
         |
         v
   Create PRD Document
         |
         v
   Create SPEC Document
         |
         v
   Document Approval Gate
         |
         v
   Create Beads Epic + Tasks

2. Build Sequentially: /build-feature <epic-id>

The feature-builder agent implements tasks one at a time through 6 phases:

/build-feature <epic-id> [--resume]
         |
         v
  Phase 1: Epic Setup (verify, test requirements audit)
  Phase 2: Architecture Review (conditional agent spawning)
  Phase 3: Implementation (task-by-task via beads)
  Phase 4: Quality Review (DRY/KISS via simplifier skills)
  Phase 5: Validation (tests, lint, types, security)
  Phase 6: Final Review (commit, close epic)

Each phase writes a checkpoint for --resume support.

3. Build in Parallel: /epic-swarm <epic-id>

Spawns parallel worker agents in isolated git worktrees:

/epic-swarm <epic-id> [--max-parallel 3] [--no-review] [--dry-run]
         |
         v
  Phase 1: Load epic, build dependency-aware wave plan
  Phase 2: Execute waves (parallel workers in worktrees)
           - Wave 1: independent tasks run simultaneously
           - Wave 2: tasks depending on Wave 1
           - Wave N: continue until done
           - Merge branches, run tests, close tasks after each wave
  Phase 3: CE code review (architecture, simplicity, security, performance)
  Phase 4: Ship (commit, push)

Checkpointing after every wave survives context compaction.
