backlog

To decompose a product spec into actionable tasks, this Skill uses a PlanMode exploration to break down large epics into granular work items with clear acceptance criteria and implementation approaches. It transforms high-level specifications into a build-ready development pipeline.

Backlog grooming is the process of auditing and maintaining the health of existing work items. It identifies stale or vague tasks within your product backlog to ensure only clearly defined, `ready` labeled items proceed to the build stage.

Yes, you can manage cross-repo backlogs using a global queue. This Skill supports cross-repo backlog management by capturing ad-hoc work, tracking technical debt, and integrating with GitHub issues for relationship tracking across repositories.

Yes, backlog management integrates directly with GitHub issues for relationship tracking. This allows you to maintain links between decomposed tasks and existing issue dependencies during spec decomposition and grooming.

The best way to capture ad-hoc work and technical debt is through targeted backlog item creation. This Skill quickly generates new work items for deferred tasks, ensuring all necessary steps are accounted for before development begins.

Yes, work items require a `ready` label to proceed to the build stage. This ensures that only groomed tasks with clear acceptance criteria and implementation approaches move forward in the agile development pipeline.
