Provides a fast, low-friction way to capture ideas and work items to a repository-local backlog without committing them to execution, and to explicitly promote chosen items into the active task loop when ready.
Use the backlog-task skill to capture "Add caching to API" with priority A and tags cache,performance and later run promote BACKLOG-YYYYMMDD-001 to convert it into a task.

To capture project backlog items, you create structured markdown files with frontmatter fields like id, title, status, priority, tags, and context. This stores your ideas locally in a .volon/backlog/ directory for later triage and execution.
The best way to promote a backlog item is to use an explicit promotion command that invokes the /task-create protocol. This converts the captured markdown entry into an active task while preserving traceability and preventing automatic promotion.
No, this backlog task workflow operates entirely repository-local using markdown files. It provides fast, low-friction idea capture and task promotion without needing external project management integrations or databases.
Yes, you can enumerate backlog items by status to surface their id, title, and priority for triage. This allows you to quickly inspect captured work items and decide which ones to promote into the active task loop.
To prevent ideas from automatically becoming active tasks, capture them first as structured markdown entries in the backlog directory. They remain inert until you explicitly promote a selected entry into the task loop via the creation protocol.
