What problem does it solve? Deferred-work ledgers accumulate stale, unreliable entries: items marked open are often already fixed, blocked, or moot, and no one verifies them against the actual code. This Skill automates that triage inside a bmad-loop sweep session, verifying every open entry against the codebase and returning a validated, machine-readable partition the orchestrator can execute. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Code-Verified Triage: Reads each open DW-<n> entry, checks the referenced file or component, greps for the symptom, and inspects git history to classify entries as already_resolved (with file:line or commit evidence), bundles, blocked, skip, or decisions. - Bundle Planning: Groups buildable entries sharing a touchpoint into cohesive kebab-case-named bundles sized for one dev session, each with a 2-6 sentence intent. - Human Decision Surfacing: Routes frozen-block renegotiations, scope reversals, and API-shape changes to a decisions list with 2-4 concrete options and a recommendation. - Legacy Ledger Migration: With --migrate, rewrites freeform pre-DW-format ledgers into canonical ### DW-<n>: entries while preserving existing entries byte-identically and emitting a key-to-DW-id mapping. - Use Case: During an unattended bmad-loop sweep run, the orchestrator spawns this Skill to drain a project's deferred-work.md: it verifies 12 open entries, proves 4 already resolved with commit evidence, bundles 5 into two dev sessions, blocks 2 on a future epic, and escalates 1 as a human decision — all written to result.json for deterministic validation. ## Quick Start Invoke this Skill inside a bmad-loop sweep session with BMAD_LOOP_MODE=1 set, optionally passing --migrate with a manifest path or --feedback with prior validation errors, and it will write the triage result.json automatically.
