Claude Code Just Got a Brain Upgrade Inspired By Beads

Description

Claude Code Tasks is a powerful upgrade that transforms how you manage complex AI projects, taking inspiration from projects like Beads with its dependency-aware graph approach. With task dependencies, you can coordinate multiple pieces of work across your project, while file-based storage in ~/.claude/tasks enables seamless collaboration between subagents and multiple sessions. Gone are the days of the Ralph Wiggum technique's simple while loops - now you can handle long-horizon tasks with structured memory and real-time updates broadcasted to all active sessions working on the same Task List. 🔗 Relevant Links Claude Code's Announcement - https://x.com/trq212/status/2014480496013803643 Ralph Wiggum Explained - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVAhQ-EcrWA Beads Explained - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsFa7W-FYdM Opus 4.5 - https://milvus.io/ai-quick-reference/does-claude-opus-45-support-longrunning-autonomous-agents-with-reliable-tool-calls x-dl - https://github.com/RichardBray/x-dl ❤️ More about us Radically better observability stack: https://betterstack.com/ Written tutorials: https://betterstack.com/community/ Example projects: https://github.com/BetterStackHQ 📱 Socials Twitter: https://twitter.com/betterstackhq Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/betterstackhq/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@betterstack LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/betterstack 📌 Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:34 Opus 4.5 is great, not perfect 1:13 Fixing context rot with Beads or Ralph 1:41 Using the new Task Management tool 3:11 Taks list in multiple sessions 4:18 What makes Beads different 4:39 What makes Ralph different
