FAQPage Schema
How do I automate daily task assignment from a backlog?

Automating daily task assignment from a backlog is handled by reading tasks from a predefined JSON file and generating a reviewable distribution report. It requires access to the local backlog file and Claude CLI execution permissions to run the automated procedure.

What format does the backlog need to be in for daily assignment automation?

The backlog format needs to be a JSON file located at `docs/backlog.json`. This file serves as the source of truth for the task management system, holding the predefined tasks that the assignment procedure pulls from daily.

Can I trigger task management assignment procedures on demand?

Yes, you can trigger task management assignment procedures on demand using the `/assign-backlog` command. This invokes the automated workflow to immediately process the backlog JSON and distribute tasks for the operational routine.

Do I need Claude CLI execution permissions for routine task distribution?

Yes, Claude CLI execution permissions are required for routine task distribution. The automation relies on the CLI environment to read the backlog JSON file and execute the daily assignment procedure without manual overhead.

How does automated backlog assignment handle tracking and review?

Automated backlog assignment handles tracking and review by generating a reviewable report after distributing tasks. This report provides an overview of the daily assignments pulled from the backlog JSON, streamlining workflow tracking.

What is the best way to manage operational workflows involving routine task distribution?

The best way to manage operational workflows involving routine task distribution is through an automated procedure that reads from a predefined backlog JSON. This approach ensures consistent daily assignment without manual overhead.
