What problem does it solve?
The backlog analysis skill helps teams automatically review and prioritize non-Done backlog items to focus on the most impactful work.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated quality assessment: Evaluate backlog item descriptions, acceptance criteria, and readiness to identify well-defined items.
- Priority-aware recommendations: Generate 2-3 top items to work on next based on priority, size, and definition quality.
- Graceful handling of missing fields: Detect and warn about missing custom fields (e.g., Priority) and adapt recommendations accordingly.
- Workflow integration: Seamlessly fetch project items via gh-api-scripts, analyze with the backlog-analyzer agent, and present actionable results.
Quick Start
Invoke the backlog skill to fetch the current project backlog, analyze item quality, and display the top 2-3 recommendations to start next.
