SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backlog prioritization is often manual and error-prone, making it hard to focus on work that drives measurable outcomes. This Skill automatically ranks a repository's open issues by their impact on a stated business goal, and it can incorporate OKR alignment when defined in .claude/pm-config.md to refine the ranking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Data-driven prioritization: ranks issues by business impact and dependencies to guide engineering focus.
  • OKR-aware scoring: when OKRs exist, aligns top work to key results for strategic alignment.
  • Actionable output: produces a clear, tiered backlog with next actions and optional role constraints to optimize assignment.

Quick Start

Provide a business goal and, optionally, an engineer username and role constraints to generate a prioritized backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions about prioritize

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize GitHub issues by business impact?▼

To prioritize GitHub issues by business impact, this Skill reads open issue bodies, extracts scope and dependencies, and ranks them against a specified business goal to generate a tiered backlog.

Can I use OKRs to rank my engineering backlog?▼

Yes, you can use OKRs to rank your engineering backlog by defining them in the .claude/pm-config.md file, which the Skill reads as a secondary signal to align issues with key results.

What is the best way to triage open issues for a specific engineer?▼

The best way to triage open issues for a specific engineer is to provide a business goal and an engineer username, allowing the Skill to apply optional role constraints and output recommended next actions.

Does backlog prioritization work without pre-defined OKRs?▼

Backlog prioritization works without pre-defined OKRs by analyzing issue acceptance criteria and dependencies directly, applying OKR alignment only as an optional secondary signal when available.

How does issue triage handle dependencies and scope?▼

Issue triage handles dependencies and scope by reading repository issue bodies, extracting these elements, and using them to classify work into a four-tier backlog of Critical, High, Medium, and Low items.
