backlog-implement

What problem does it solve?

It helps teams move backlog items into real code changes by guiding an implementer through verification, planning, and a user-confirmed implementation workflow, reducing wasted effort and risky edits.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Backlog item selection & context loading: Accepts a backlog ID directly or shows a selectable list for choosing an item to implement.
• Verification-first workflow: Checks whether the described problem still exists by inspecting the relevant files, functions, and configuration state, and records the findings.
• Risk/impact-based decision gates: Produces an impact score (0-10) and enforces a mandatory user confirmation step before any code change.
• Implementation & verification loop: After confirmation, performs the code change within the approved scope, runs appropriate tests, and then closes the backlog item.
• Use Case: When a TRPG dice project backlog contains a “needs implementation” task, the skill ensures the implementer validates the current code reality, gets explicit approval for the plan, implements safely, runs tests, and then removes the item from backlog.

Quick Start

Ask an agent to start implementing a specific backlog item by running: /backlog-implement B-260506-a3f9c1.
