SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents gut-feel sprint planning by loading your full backlog context and producing an ordered, dependency-aware set of next actions while detecting schema-version chains and structural issues humans often miss.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-graph prioritization: Builds a dependency graph from issue content and orders stories by completion state, blockers, priority, dependency depth, and age.
  • Mandatory DB schema-chain conflict checking: Detects and reports schema ordering rules and critical conflicts (e.g., two stories targeting the same target schema version).
  • Backlog hygiene insights: Flags cycles, orphaned references, and outdated/obsoletely connected items, and recommends cleanup actions.

Quick Start

Ask for sprint planning by saying: "Use /backlog to produce a dependency-aware prioritized story list with schema-chain conflict checks."

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize a Linear sprint backlog using dependency graphs?

Sprint backlog prioritization builds a dependency graph from Linear issues, ordering stories by completion state, blockers, priority, dependency depth, and age to output an actionable sequence. It loads open and recently completed issues to map dependencies accurately.

What is DB schema-chain conflict checking in sprint planning?

DB schema-chain conflict checking detects critical structural issues during sprint planning, such as two stories targeting the same database schema version. It validates schema version chains and reports ordering rules to prevent migration conflicts.

How do I detect cycles and orphaned references in a Linear backlog?

Backlog hygiene analysis flags cycles, orphaned references, and outdated items in your Linear backlog. It evaluates issue relationships to recommend cleanup actions and ensure dependency integrity across projects.

Does backlog sprint planning work with repository architecture context?

Dependency-aware sprint planning works by loading your repository architecture context alongside Linear backlog data. It uses this combined context to detect inter-story dependencies and schema version conflicts across projects.

What is the best way to order Linear stories with inter-story dependencies?

Ordering Linear stories with inter-story dependencies requires evaluating completion state, blockers, priority, and dependency depth. This approach generates a prioritized list with explicit reasoning and hygiene recommendations.
