FAQPage Schema
How do I capture feature ideas early before they become formal plans?

To capture feature ideas early, use a lightweight backlog model to record and organize requests before they become plans. This prevents idea loss by storing them in a dedicated, read-only list until ready for promotion.

What is the best way to manage early task ideas without losing them during the SDLC?

The best way to manage early task ideas in the SDLC is to maintain a dedicated backlog where ideas are safely stored and listed. You can then promote these ideas to a planning phase when they are ready for implementation.

How do I promote a backlog idea to a plan and trigger git actions?

To promote a backlog idea to a plan, use the controlled promotion trigger to move the idea to the planning phase. Explicit git actions are only executed during this promotion step to maintain workflow integrity.

Does the backlog skill support read-only listing for viewing captured ideas?

Yes, the backlog skill enforces read-only listing for viewing captured ideas. This ensures that early feature requests and improvements remain unchanged and secure until you explicitly decide to promote them.

Can I archive completed or dropped items from my task backlog?

Yes, you can archive completed or dropped items from your task backlog. This allows you to promote active ideas to the planning phase while keeping the workspace clean and focused on current feature ideation.
