I have been building a Task Manager for AI coding agents like Claude Code. It has a concept called “gates” where an agent cannot close a task unless at least one gate is tied to the task, a gate could be as “Ensure the project builds without error”, “make sure unit tests pass” or even “have user do confirmation testing” solving one of my paint points of Beads. My other pain point stems from how Beads tracks everything using git hooks, which is why I felt appropriate to build an alternative that works purely with SQLite.

Right now I have no releases pipeline, and I am working on the MCP aspect of the project. I also have it synching to GitHub, you can see all my local tasks on the GitHub issues open or closed.

Looking for any feedback good or bad, if this project interests you feel free to contribute / suggest features. Feel free to ask me anything, though I may not answer everyone right away, but I will respond as soon as I can.

I wrote more about it here:
