ClawVault
Commands

sync-bd

Sync active beads (bd) tasks into the vault views

The sync-bd command pulls active tasks from the beads (bd) task manager and writes them into views/now.md. This gives your AI agent awareness of external tasks tracked in beads.

Added in v2.2.0

Usage

clawvault sync-bd [options]

Options

FlagDescriptionDefault
--dry-runShow what would be synced without writingfalse
-v, --vault <path>Vault pathNearest vault

Requirements

The bd binary must be installed and on your PATH. If it is not found, the command exits silently with no error.

This command is optional and only relevant if you use beads for task management. See the Beads integration guide for setup details.

How It Works

  1. Checks for the bd binary on your system
  2. Queries active tasks via bd list --json (falls back to plain text output)
  3. Filters out tasks with status done, completed, or closed
  4. Upserts an "Active Tasks (from bd)" section in views/now.md

Examples

# Sync bd tasks into views/now.md
clawvault sync-bd

# Preview the sync
clawvault sync-bd --dry-run
