What problem does it solve?
This Skill autonomously scans the entire codebase against the CLAUDE.md specification to identify all gaps and generate a prioritized, numbered backlog of tasks. It enables planning at scale without writing code, guiding teams from broad exploration to concrete tasks.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Gap Discovery: Scans the whole repo (frontend/, backend/, components/, e2e/) against CLAUDE.md to surface all gaps.
- Prioritized Task Backlog: Produces a numbered backlog with clear task titles and priorities.
- Planning Only: Creates tasks but does not implement or start coding.
- Context Loading: Leverages existing rules, recent done tasks, and available skills to inform planning.
- Use Case: When starting a new development phase or backlog is stale, run this to generate backlog and run
/discover-tasks to drill into specifics.
- Note: This skill is for planning; do not use it to implement tasks or address quick bugs.
Quick Start
Use the backlog-scan slash command to generate a comprehensive backlog.
Review the created tasks and decide which to pursue. For a single specific task, use the feature-planning skill or /new-task.
The following steps are provided to guide you through the backlog creation process.
