# Bits Task Tracking

Use bits for complex work with dependencies. Use TodoWrite for simple checklists.

## Commands

| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Find ready work | `bits ready --json` |
| Create task | `bits add "Title" -d "Description" --json` |
| Start work | `bits claim <id>` |
| Pause work | `bits release <id>` |
| Complete work | `bits close <id> "reason"` |
| View details | `bits show <id>` |
| List tasks | `bits list` |

Run `bits --help` for full reference.

## Dependencies

```bash
bits add "Feature B" --json  # Returns: bits-abc123
bits dep bits-abc123 bits-blocker  # B blocked by blocker
```

Tasks with unresolved dependencies won't appear in `bits ready`.
