Kaizen backlog health is critical for effective autonomous improvement. This Skill audits issue taxonomy, labels, horizons, incident density, and epic health to surface gaps and provide structured remediation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Label coverage audit: ensures required labels like kaizen, level-, and area/ are present.
  • Epic health and horizon analytics: checks for stale epics and distribution of work across horizons.
  • Incident density assessment: quantifies evidence vs hypotheses to guide prioritization.
  • Generated structured report: compiles findings with suggested fixes and workflow integration points.
  • Trigger-driven execution: can be invoked during regular maintenance or as part of reflex workflows.

Quick Start

Run the kaizen-audit-issues skill to generate a structured backlog audit report and suggested fixes.

What does a backlog label coverage audit check for?

A backlog label coverage audit checks that required labels like kaizen, level-*, and area/* are present on issues, surfacing missing taxonomy and providing structured remediation.

How do I assess epic health and horizon distribution before a release?

You assess epic health and horizon distribution by triggering the audit to check for stale epics and analyze work distribution across horizons, compiling findings into a structured report.

Can I use this audit for periodic backlog maintenance?

Yes, the audit supports trigger-driven execution for regular maintenance or reflex workflows, analyzing incident density to quantify evidence versus hypotheses and guide prioritization.

What is incident density assessment in backlog auditing?

Incident density assessment quantifies evidence versus hypotheses in your backlog to guide prioritization, helping you distinguish proven issues from speculative work during the audit.

Does the backlog audit generate actionable fixes or just a report?

The audit generates a structured report that compiles findings with suggested fixes and workflow integration points, providing actionable remediation steps rather than just listing problems.
