What is a rauf backlog and when do I need structured validation?▼

A rauf backlog contains well-scoped items for the rauf autonomous coding loop. Structured validation ensures compliance with the rauf JSON schema and item requirements before processing.

Does the rauf framework support feature pipeline integration for backlogs?▼

Yes, the rauf framework supports feature pipeline integration by working with tools like feature-forge to generate feature-scoped backlogs alongside standard ad-hoc backlog creation.

Do I need knowledge of JSON schema to author rauf backlog items?▼

Yes, knowledge of the rauf framework and JSON schema is required. This prerequisite ensures you can provide the structured input needed to automate backlog creation and ensure schema compliance.

How do I validate and reset an existing rauf backlog?▼

Validate and reset existing backlogs using the author-backlog Skill to ensure data integrity, confirm rauf schema compliance, and prepare the backlog for new autonomous coding iterations.
