FAQPage Schema
How do I regenerate a backlog summary from GitHub Issues?

You can regenerate a backlog summary from GitHub Issues by using a script-driven reconciliation workflow that parses issues and regenerates the BACKLOG.md file with updated item counts per lifecycle stage.

What is the best way to track backlog status across project lifecycle stages?

Tracking backlog status across lifecycle stages involves summarizing item counts into categories like discover, define, plan, build, and deliver, providing a deterministic snapshot of current work and priorities.

How do I reconcile board drift between GitHub issue labels and project columns?

To reconcile board drift between GitHub issue labels and project columns, apply a deterministic regeneration workflow that aligns issue labels with project columns to ensure accurate backlog state representation.

Can I view feature branch context and approval status alongside the backlog overview?

Yes, you can view feature branch context and approval status by enabling the optional Active Feature Context, which displays spec, plan, and tasks approval statuses for quick context switching.

What happens to backlog regeneration when external GitHub sources are unavailable?

When external GitHub sources are unavailable, the backlog regeneration process relies on predefined fallback behavior to ensure the workflow completes without interrupting the lifecycle stage summary generation.

Does the backlog snapshot tool support AOD lifecycles for software teams?

Yes, the backlog snapshot tool applies specifically to software teams using AOD lifecycles, providing structured stage breakdowns and deterministic reconciliation workflows for up-to-date backlog overviews.
