SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Hyper backlog serves as the idea-triage inbox that sits alongside .hyper/backlog.md, capturing new ideas and triaging them until they are ready to become formal tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add ideas to the backlog for later triage and potential task creation.
  • List backlog items with B IDs and view bodies for quick triage decisions.
  • Promote ideas to tasks, generating a new T ID and slug, and optionally capturing a Why note for future context.
  • Drop backlog entries that are no longer pursued. Real-world use: When a user says "add to backlog" or "promote B3 to a task," hyper-backlog handles intake, triage, and task creation.

Quick Start

Add a concise backlog item by telling Hyper to add to backlog with a short title and optional details.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture and triage ideas into a persistent backlog?

To triage ideas into a persistent backlog, you add items with a short title and optional details. The system assigns B IDs and stores entries in the backlog.md file for later review and promotion to formal tasks.

What is the process to promote a backlog item into a formal task?

Promoting a backlog item generates a new task ID and slug, moving the idea from the backlog into a structured task.md file with YAML frontmatter. You can optionally capture a Why note during promotion to retain future context.

Can I list and review backlog items to make quick triage decisions?

Yes, you can list backlog items using their assigned B IDs and view their bodies. This allows for quick triage decisions to determine whether to promote an idea to a task or drop it entirely.

How do I remove ideas from the backlog that are no longer being pursued?

You remove unpursued ideas by using the Drop operation on specific backlog entries. This deletes the items from the backlog.md file, keeping your task triage inbox clean and focused on actionable ideas.

Does the task creation workflow require a specific file structure?

Yes, the workflow relies on a specific file structure. It bootstraps a backlog.md file for intake and triage, and creates individual task.md files with structured YAML frontmatter under a designated tasks directory upon promotion.
