SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manage the rpm backlog — long-term project tasks stored under docs/rpm/future/tasks.org — separate from Claude's session-scoped TaskCreate list. Add, list, review, postpone, and complete entries to keep a living planning view that travels with your project context.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add new backlog items under appropriate parents, creating detail files and links for context.
  • List current backlog items to inspect their order, status, and dependencies.
  • Review and reorganize tasks to ensure work is ordered by execution priority and needs.
  • Postpone items to the bottom of their group with an auditable timestamp.
  • Mark items as DONE to archive completed work and keep historical context in the backlog.
  • Use-case: You want to plan multi-day work across sessions and maintain a stable backlog that feeds future work.

Quick Start

Ask rpm to add a backlog item or list current backlog to begin organizing your project work.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage long-term project tasks in org-mode across multiple sessions?

Long-term project tasks in org-mode are managed by automating orchestration through a persistent backlog file at docs/rpm/future/tasks.org, maintaining multi-step planning separate from session-scoped lists.

How do I add and prioritize backlog items for multi-step project planning?

Adding and prioritizing backlog items involves appending new entries under appropriate parent headings and using a review operation to reorganize tasks by execution priority and dependencies.

Can I postpone a task in my org-mode backlog without losing historical context?

Postponing a task moves it to the bottom of its group in the org-mode backlog while automatically attaching an auditable timestamp to preserve historical context and progression tracking.

Does rpm backlog automation work for multi-day workflow planning?

Rpm backlog automation supports multi-day workflow planning by maintaining a stable backlog that travels with your project context and feeds future work sessions.

What is the best way to archive completed tasks in an org-mode backlog?

Archiving completed tasks in an org-mode backlog is done by marking items as DONE, which archives the work while keeping historical context intact within the living planning view.
