To convert free-form notes into structured backlog items, this skill transforms natural language input into Markdown files with explicit front-matter. It ensures mandatory fields like artifact_type, lifecycle, and status are automatically populated.

Yes, you can batch capture multiple project management issues simultaneously. The skill supports both single and batched captures, converting each free-form input into an individual structured Markdown backlog item.

Automatic path detection identifies your project structure and saves Markdown backlog files to the correct directory, defaulting to docs/process-management/project-board/backlog or docs/backlog, without manual configuration.

Required front-matter fields when capturing a work item include artifact_type, created_by, lifecycle, type, date, status, and source. An optional trace_id field can also be recorded for tracking purposes.

The initial status assigned to a newly captured backlog item is a fixed status of 'captured'. This ensures all newly generated Markdown entries start at a consistent baseline in your project management workflow.

Yes, this skill is specifically designed for quick bug and requirement logging. It eliminates formatting guesswork by directly persisting free-form natural language descriptions into your project documentation structure as structured items.
