SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Project work often becomes opaque and hard to coordinate as tasks, subtasks, and decisions spread across docs and files. backlog.md helps you formalize work items, enforce atomic task structure, and keep metadata synchronized via a CLI-driven workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Management: Create, edit, assign, and track tasks with clear acceptance criteria and dependencies.
  • Backlog Visualization: Kanban-style board and project-wide status views to surface bottlenecks.
  • Documentation & Decisions: Centralized docs and decisions tied to tasks for traceability.
  • Automation & Compliance: Enforce atomic tasks and consistent metadata across backlog/docs for auditable workflows.

Quick Start

Install the backlog.md CLI and begin by creating a new backlog task with a clear title.
